I now have a contract with Adconion Media Group to produce a 2.7 version of Jython by July 15 of this year. It all started when my colleague Miki Tebeka asked how long it was going to be before a Jython 2.7 was going to become available. At the time I did not have a very happy answer to that one. Adconion has an internal application that will use Jython and they have standardized on the 2.7 version of Python for their CPython development. Naturally it's a pain to go back to 2.5 when you are happy with 2.7. One thing led to another and now I get to spend all of my time thinking about Jython for a while again. This time there is the added bonus of helping out with a Jython application going into production. I'll post more about that application another time :)

Notable additions include:

change, it is provided as an opt-in.

* a main program that behaves more like CPython in many small ways,

including -i and -E support.

* a JAR and POM that may be cited as a dependency by other projects

using Gradle or Maven (experimental).

* a great many bug-fixes.
