+================================
+PyPy 2.5.1 - Pineapple Bromeliad
+================================
+
+We're pleased to announce PyPy 2.5.1, Pineapple `Bromeliad`_ following on the
heels of 2.5.0
+
+You can download the PyPy 2.5.1 release here:
+
+ http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+We would like to thank our donors for the continued support of the PyPy
+project, and for those who donate to our three sub-projects, as well as our
+volunteers and contributors.
+We've shown quite a bit of progress, but we're slowly running out of funds.
+Please consider donating more, or even better convince your employer to donate,
+so we can finish those projects! The three sub-projects are:
+
+* `Py3k`_ (supporting Python 3.x): We have released a Python 3.2.5 compatible
version
+ we call PyPy3 2.4.0, and are working toward a Python 3.3 compatible version
+
+* `STM`_ (software transactional memory): We have released a first working
version,
+ and continue to try out new promising paths of achieving a fast
multithreaded Python
+
+* `NumPy`_ which requires installation of our fork of upstream numpy,
+ available `on bitbucket`_
+

+.. _`NumPy`: http://pypy.org/numpydonate.html
+.. _`on bitbucket`: https://www.bitbucket.org/pypy/numpy
+
+We would also like to encourage new people to join the project. PyPy has many
+layers and we need help with all of them: `PyPy`_ and `Rpython`_ documentation
+improvements, tweaking popular `modules`_ to run on pypy, or general `help`_
with making
+Rpython's JIT even better.

+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy and cpython 2.7.x`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports **x86** machines on most common operating systems
+(Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows, and OpenBSD),
+as well as newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux.
+
+While we support 32 bit python on Windows, work on the native Windows 64
+bit python is still stalling, we would welcome a volunteer
+to `handle that`_.
+

+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* The past months have seen pypy mature and grow, as rpython becomes the goto
+ solution for writing fast dynamic language interpreters. Our separation of
+ Rpython and the python interpreter PyPy is now much clearer in the
+ `PyPy documentation`_ and we now have seperate `RPython documentation`_.
+ Tell us what still isn't clear, or even better help us improve the
documentation.
+
+* We merged version 2.7.9 of python's stdlib. From the python release notice:
+
+ * The entirety of Python 3.4's `ssl module`_ has been backported.
+ See `PEP 466`_ for justification.
+
+ * HTTPS certificate validation using the system's certificate store is now
+ enabled by default. See `PEP 476`_ for details.
+
+ * SSLv3 has been disabled by default in httplib and its reverse dependencies
+ due to the `POODLE attack`_.
+
+ * The `ensurepip module`_ has been backported, which provides the pip
+ package manager in every Python 2.7 installation. See `PEP 477`_.
+
+* The garbage collector now ignores parts of the stack which did not change
+ since the last collection, another performance boost
+
+* errno and LastError are saved around cffi calls so things like pdb will not
+ overwrite it
+
+* We continue to asymptotically approach a score of 7 times faster than cpython
+ on our benchmark suite, we now rank 6.98 on latest runs
+
+* Issues reported with our previous release were resolved_ after reports from
users on
+ our issue tracker at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues or on IRC at
+ #pypy.
