Arg!!! This should, of course, be "final release".

Twisted 10.1.0 released

2010-07-04 Thread Jonathan Lange
On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honored to announce the
release of Twisted 10.1.0.

Highlights include:

 * Deferreds now support cancellation

 * A new "endpoint" interface which can abstractly describe stream
transport endpoints such as TCP and SSL

 * inotify support for Linux, which allows monitoring of file system events.

 * AMP supports transferring timestamps

Note also that this is the *last* supported release of Twisted for
Python 2.4 on Windows.

For more information, see the NEWS file.

It's stable, backwards compatible, well tested and in every way an
improvement. Download it now from:

 http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/10.1/Twisted-10.1.0.tar.bz2
 
http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/10.1/Twisted-10.1.0.winxp32-py2.5.msi
 
http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/10.1/Twisted-10.1.0.winxp32-py2.6.msi

Many thanks to Glyph Lefkowitz, who helped do the release preparation,
and the PyCon 2010 sprinters, who did so much of the work for this
release.

[RELEASE] Python 2.7 released

2010-07-04 Thread Benjamin Peterson
On behalf of the Python development team, I'm jocund to announce the second
release candidate of Python 2.7.

Python 2.7 will be the last major version in the 2.x series. However, it will
also have an extended period of bugfix maintenance.

2.7 includes many features that were first released in Python 3.1. The faster io
module, the new nested with statement syntax, improved float repr, set literals,
dictionary views, and the memoryview object have been backported from 3.1. Other
features include an ordered dictionary implementation, unittests improvements, a
new sysconfig module, auto-numbering of fields in the str/unicode format method,
and support for ttk Tile in Tkinter.  For a more extensive list of changes in
2.7, see http://doc.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.7.html or Misc/NEWS in the Python
distribution.

To download Python 2.7 visit:

 http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/

2.7 documentation can be found at:

 http://docs.python.org/2.7/

This is a production release and should be suitable for all libraries and
applications.  Please report any bugs you find, so they can be fixed in the next
maintenance releases.  The bug tracker is at:

 http://bugs.python.org/


Enjoy!
