IronPython 2.7.6.3
On behalf of the IronPython team, I am happy to announce the release of version 2.7.6.3 final which is the first final release version for the 2.7.6 release stream.

Thanks to many different people for their hard work on this release. The community is becoming more active and working on IronPython again. We plan to have more regular releases, so please check back often.
In addition, we are working on becoming part of the .NET Foundation, which will help with getting more people involved and excited about IronPython.
If you find any issues, please file them on Github under IronPython/main.
Packages are also available via NuGet.
IronPython 2.7.6 RC2
This is a small update to the RC1 which was released over the weekend to correctly add the IronPython "compiler" to the zip and msi.
See https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/releases/tag/ipy-2.7.6-rc1 for full details
IronPython 2.7.6 RC1
On behalf of the IronPython team I am happy to announce the release candidate for IronPython 2.7.6.
First and foremost, the whole team would like to thank @jdhardy for his work on IronPython over the years. He took over when the code was open sourced by Microsoft, and through thick and thin kept the project going. His work has made the project much better.
This release combines changes from many different developers. A special thanks to:
@kunom, @simplicbe, @paweljasinski, @DinoV, @slozier, @jdhardy, @rassilon, @moto-timo, @jsakamoto, @terianil, @filmor, and @malcomdw.
The majority of the work that has gone into this release is fixing up some small longstanding issues, adding a new C# based IronPython "compiler" named ipyc that adds some additional features over pyc.py, a major memory leak fixup from @jdhardy that should resolved several memory leak issues that have been found over time, and the removal of Silverlight from the packages.
This is a Release Candidate, not a production release. Please test and submit issues here on Github.
For Visual Studio integration, check out Python Tools for Visual Studio which has support for IronPython as well as CPython, and many other fantastic features.
IronPython 2.7.6-rc1 is also available for embedding via NuGet. The main package is IronPython, and the standard library is in IronPython.StdLib.
IronPython 2.7.5
On behalf of the IronPython team, I'm very happy to announce the release of IronPython 2.7.5. Like all IronPython 2.7-series releases, .NET 4 is required to install it. Installing this release will replace any existing IronPython 2.7-series installation. Assemblies for embedding are provided for .NET 3.5, .NET 4, .NET 4.5, and Silverlight 5.
IronPython 2.7.5 is primarily a collection of bug fixes which smooths off many of the remaining rough edges. The complete list of changes is also available.
A major new feature is the inclusion of ensurepip, which will install the pip package manager:
; -X:Frames is required when using pip
ipy.exe -X:Frames -m ensurepip
; Run from an Administrator console if using IronPython installer
ipy.exe -X:Frames -m pip install html5lib
Note: The assembly version of IronPython has changed to 2.7.5.0. All previous 2.7 versions had the same version (2.7.0.40) which caused issues when different versions were installed. Publisher policy files are used to so that applications don't have to be recompiled, but recompiling is strongly recommended.
A huge thanks goes out to Pawel Jasinski, who contributed most of the changes in this release. Thanks is also due to Simon Opelt, Alex Earl, Jeffrey Bester, yngipy hernan, Alexander Köplinger, Vincent Ducros, and fdanny.
