[IronPython] IronPython 2.1 Renamed to IronPython 2.6

[Dave Fugate]

The assembly versioning plan isn't quite set in stone, but does indeed look similar to what you mention.  <IP version> will correspond to the patch level of the IronPython release (e.g., it would be "1" for IronPython 2.0.1) and from <build> you'll be able to immediately tell if the release is an Alpha, Beta, or alternatively the date when a release candidate or final version was produced.

Hear hear.. I was hoping this would happen.  Is it expected, then, that IP versioning will be something like <CP major>.<CP minor>[.<IP version>.<build>]?
