On behalf of the IronPython team, I'm happy to announce the first (and hopefully only) release candidate for IronPython 2.7.4<https://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/106471>. This release includes everything from IronPython 2.7.3 and earlier. Like all IronPython 2.7-series releases, .NET 4 is required to install it. Installing this release will replace any existing IronPython 2.7-series installation.
If there are no major issues, this will become the final release around August 31. Improvements in IronPython 2.7.4 are mainly a collection of bug fixes<https://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/list/advanced?keyword=&status=Resolved&type=All&priority=All&release=2.7.4&assignedTo=All&component=All&reasonClosed=All&sortField=Votes&sortDirection=Descending&page=0>, many of which are directed at getting IPython working. Android and Silverlight 4 assemblies have been dropped from this version. The Android assemblies need some more work to be usable with Xamarin.Android, and Silverlight 4 is just plain dead. For Visual Studio integration, check out Python Tools for Visual Studio<http://pytools.codeplex.com/> which has support for IronPython as well as CPython, and many other fantastic features. IronPython 2.7.4 is also available for embedding via NuGet<http://nuget.org/>. The main package is IronPython, and the standard library is in IronPython.StdLib. Because this is a prerelease package, you must use -IncludePrerelease on the command line or select "Include Prerelease" from the package drop-down menu. A huge thanks goes out to Pawel Jasinski, Michael van der Kolff, and Aleksander Heintz, who contributed most of the changes for this release.
