Following up on the recent release of Jython 2.7.1 beta 3 I am proud to announce the release of JyNI 2.7-alpha.3.
Take a look at jyni.org or go directly to the release: https://github.com/Stewori/JyNI/releases/tag/v2.7-alpha.3 Binaries are provided for target platforms JyNI is tested on. It should in principle be buildable/workable also on other posix platforms. Main new features are: * OS-X support * CPython-compatible garbage collection of native objects * capable of loading ctypes (core functionality tested) What comes next? ---------------- With this release I updated jyni.org/#roadmap; take a look to learn about plans for alpha.4, alpha.5 and beta.1. However, before I continue work toward alpha.4 I will check some Python frameworks that have ctypes-only native dependency for workability (e.g. PyOpenGL). Wish List --------- With this release I also introduce the Wish List section jyni.org/#wish-list. The intention of this list is to focus on actually *needed* API with priority before attempting exhaustive API support. If you have desire for a specific extension to work, send me a mail regarding jyni.org/#wish-list and I will check whether your extension is a "low hanging fruit" that can be supported via minor improvements. Especially extensions from the above mentioned category of ctypes-only-dependency highly qualify.
