[Ironpython-users] IronPython 2.7.1 RC Released

[Jeff Hardy]

The first release candidate of IronPython
2.7.1<http://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/71089>is now
available. 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.

If there are no showstopping issues, this will be the only release candidate
for 2.7.1, so please speak up if you run into any roadblocks.

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 a few minor bugs from 2.7.1 Beta 3, namely making
ElementTree work and avoiding an exception on startup on Unix and MacOS.
