Hello IronPython Community, We have just released IronPython 1.1 Alpha. This release introduces several new modules and features built upon the 1.0 code base along with many of our top requested bug fixes. This is the start of the 1.1 release cycle and future releases will focus primarily on fixing known issues. As always we'd appreciate if our users could vote on the existing bugs so we can prioritize our work going forward.
Major new features include support for XML Doc comments for generating help and __doc__ strings and the SHA, MD5, and select modules. There are also many smaller improvements to existing modules. You can download the release from: http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=161 We'd like to thank everyone in the community for your bug reports and suggestions that helped make this a better release: Christopher Baus, Diane Trout, Jörgen Stenarson, Michael Foord, Mike Raath, Seo Sanghyeon, and sophros.
