Subject: [IronPython] IronPython 1.0 Beta 3 Released!
To: "users at lists.ironpython.com" <users at lists.ironpython.com>

Hello IronPython Community,

        We have just released IronPython 1.0 Beta 3. This release is
primarily a bug fix release as we drive towards IronPython 1.0.  Unfortunately
we didn?t get to review the PythonEngine APIs in this release but will be
getting this done for the next beta.

        We also continue to work on improving CLR and Python interop.  In
this release we?ve added support for an assembly path (clr.Path) for
assembly dependency resolution.  If you?re currently using
clr.AddReferenceToFile(???) you?ll need to modify these calls to update the
path and then add a reference without a full path (this will ensure
dependencies get resolved in an orderly fashion).  We?ve also improved our
array support, adding both slicing operations for arrays and a new array
creation syntax: System.Array[int]((2,3,4,5)) will create an integer array
with the values 2,3,4 and 5.

        Finally we continue to advance standard Python compatibility with
the addition of a few new built-in modules: struct, codecs, and
marshal.  These are some of the most-requested modules from the community.

You can download the release from:
