[Ironpython-users] IronPython 2.7.1 Beta 3 now available

[Jeff Hardy]

The third and final beta release of IronPython 2.7.1 is now available from
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/74454. Like IronPython
2.7<http://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/54498>,
this release *requires .NET 4 or Silverlight 4.* This release will replace
any existing IronPython installation.

The highlights of 2.7.1 are:

   - Updated the standard library to match CPython 2.7.2.
   - Add the ast, csv, and unicodedata modules.
   - Fixed several bugs.
   - IronPython Tools for Visual Studio are disabled by default. See
   http://pytools.codeplex.com for the next generation of Python Visual
   Studio support.


This release fixes even more bugs on top of what is fixed in 2.7.1 Beta 2.

See the current list of fixed
issues<http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/list/advanced?keyword=&status=Fixed%7CClosed&type=All&priority=All&release=2.7.1%7C2.7.1%20Beta%201%7C2.7.1%20Beta%202%7C2.7.1%20Beta%203&assignedTo=All&component=All&sortField=LastUpdatedDate&sortDirection=Descending&page=0>
for
more details.

In particular, there is a fix for #26852 (ssl IE gets disconnected after
request, CPython doesn't. <http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/26852>),
so if you have SSL errors on previous IronPython versions it would be
helpful to see if they are resolved with this version.

In particular, the updated standard library may have introduced some
undetected bugs. Please report any issues at
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic.
