Jython 2.2 is finally here!

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

The first major production release of Jython after almost 6 years is finally here. Jython 2.2 implements Python 2.2 and also includes a number of features from Python 2.3. Few major features that I like include:

  • New-style classes and their instances are Java serializable
  • Java collections integration
  • New and Improved socket module
  • Support for JDK1.5 and 1.6
  • telnetlib from CPython
  • Lots of bug fixes

The complete changelog is posted at http://www.jython.org/NEWS.
I hope BEA will consider bundling Jython 2.2 in its next major release.
