PyPy 1.2: Just-in-Time Compilation
==================================
-Welcome to the PyPy 1.2 release. The highlight of this
-release is to be the first that ships with a Just-in-Time
-compiler that is known to be faster than CPython (and unladen
-swallow) on some real-world applications (or the best
-benchmarks we could get for them). The main theme for the 1.2
-release is speed.

-The JIT is stable and we don't observe crashes. Nevertheless
-we would recommend you to treat it as beta software and as a
-way to try out the JIT to see how it works for you.

What is PyPy?
=============
-Technically, PyPy is both a Python interpreter implementation
-and an advanced compiler, or more precisely a framework for
-implementing dynamic languages and generating virtual machines
-for them. The focus of this release is the introduction of a
-new transformation, the JIT Compiler Generator, and its
-application to the Python interpreter.
-
-Socially, PyPy is a collaborative effort of many individuals
-working together in a distributed and sprint-driven way since
-2003. PyPy would not have gotten as far as it has without the
-coding, feedback and general support from numerous people.
