When I released Beta 2 this Saturday, I said it would be the last beta unless a severe bug was found. Well, a severe bug was found. Under certain circumstances Jython Beta 2 would not start on Windows. Otmar Humbel has fixed it, and we've released Beta 3 with the fix here. See the installation instructions.
This is a beta release so be careful.

On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that Jython 2.5b2 is available for download. See the installation instructions.
Unless a severe bug is found, this will be the last beta before we start putting out release candidates. The modjy project has been pushed into the core, there have been many bugfixes. I attempted to get all of the bugfixes out of the tracker and into the NEWS file. Hopefully we can get more disciplined about change logs in the future.
Note: if you have been running Jython with --verify, we have removed that option and defaulted to that classpath behavior. We now have a --boot option for the previous 2.5 classpath behavior (jython.jar gets loaded into the boot classpath). If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you probably don't need to worry about it :)
