Hello IronPython community,
Today we have released IronPython 0.7.3.
The main changes over the 0.7.2 release are:
* Operator overloading. Following code now works in IronPython:
...
x = Mapack.Matrix.Random(2,3)
y = Mapack.Matrix.Random(3,5)
x * y
* Empty constructors for value types:
x = Point()
x += Size(1,1)
* Numerous bug fixes
Our thanks go to the members of the community who reported bugs
and provided valuable feedback (*):
Nicholas Jacobson
Anthony Tarlano
John A. Tenney
Keith J. Farmer
Richard Monson-Haefel
List of bugs fixed for the 0.7.3 release:
* __import__ not implemented and not hooked up into import statement
* Cannot import random.py
* Cannot import string.py
* Can't split string with multiple separators
* 2.5 rounds down to 2, etc

* Bit shift overflow does not convert to long
* Can't take the bitwise not of a long.
* dir doesn't work on an instantiated class
* del doesn't work on an instantiated class
* Point, Size missing empty constructors
* Point, Size missing overloads for +, -, +=, -=
* "*" operator overloading for Matrix does not kick in
* in-place assignments not supported by Complex
* Generators in nested functions throw code-gen time error.

(*) I misplaced the original email in which the "List.reverse() corrupts
data"
bug was reported so I apologize if the list of people who helped to
make
this release happen is incomplete. Feel free to send me an email and
remind me.
