Jython 2.7.1 final released!

On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that the final release of Jython 2.7.1 is available! We thought 2017-07-01 was a perfect time to release version 2.7.1 :) This is a bugfix release. Bug fixes include improvements in ssl and pip support along with lots of improvements in CPython compatibility.

Please see the NEWS file for detailed release notes. This release of Jython requires JDK 7 or above.

This release is being hosted at maven central. There are three main distributions. In order of popularity:

Most likely, you want the traditional installer. NOTE: the installer automatically installs pip and setuptools (unless you uncheck that option), but you must unset JYTHON_HOME if you have it set. See the installation instructions for using the installer.
A pre-built standalone version. See the installation instructions for details about standalone mode.
A source only distribution.

To see all of the files available including checksums, go to the maven query for org.python+Jython and navigate to the appropriate distribution and version.

On behalf of the Jython development team, I am pleased to announce that
Jython 2.7.2 has been released.

Notable additions include:

* much improved support for locale, but as a backward-incompatible
    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.
