This is a bugfix release over 2.2. + +You can download the PyPy 2.2.1 release here: + + http://pypy.org/download.html + +What is PyPy? +============= + +PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for +CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy 2.2 and cpython 2.7.2`_ performance comparison) +due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler. + +This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows +32, or ARM (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3). + +Work on the native Windows 64 is still stalling, we would welcome a volunteer +to handle that. + +.. _`pypy 2.2 and cpython 2.7.2`: http://speed.pypy.org + +Highlights +========== + +This is a bugfix release. The most important bugs fixed are: + +* an issue in sockets' reference counting emulation, showing up + notably when using the ssl module and calling ``makefile()``. + +* Tkinter support on Windows. + +* If sys.maxunicode==65535 (on Windows and maybe OS/X), the json + decoder incorrectly decoded surrogate pairs. + +* some FreeBSD fixes. + +Note that CFFI 0.8.1 was released. Both versions 0.8 and 0.8.1 are +compatible with both PyPy 2.2 and 2.2.1. + + +Cheers, +Armin Rigo & everybody _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
