Flipping the 2.5 Bit for Jython
Something worth pointing out; as of 8 AM this morning (MDT) in rev 4748, Frank Wierzbicki flipped the bits and pronounced this about the ASM branch:
jbaker:~/jythondev/asm jbaker$ dist/bin/jython
Jython 2.5a0+ (asm:4750, Jun 24 2008, 10:56:16)
[Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM ("Apple Computer, Inc.")] on java1.5.0_13
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Yesterday there were easily the most commits we have seen in the Jython project. The real threshold was reached when we incorporated the UTF-16 and new-style exception branches into this branch, fixed the grammar to support most incremental parses, while repointing the standard library to CPythonLib 2.5. Along with a flurry of other fixes!
There's a lot more to go, but this should be an encouraging sign for everyone interested in Jython!

I am eagerly awaiting a mention of Twisted to show up in one of these posts... :-)

@glyph:
Supporting twisted is still very much a priority. I thought that Nicholas Riley getting Zope Interfaces working was a highlight of the PyCon sprints. So as we have news, I will certain highlight it!
Shouldn't these exciting news appear in jython.org? I came to your blog from Bruce Eckel's, but the "larger Jython community" should be kept up-to-date too!
@dserodio:
For jython.org, we should model our site more closely on python.org and offer downloads of both final releases (2.2.1) and the upcoming alpha of 2.5. And in general, we need to do a better job of communicating what we're doing, that Jython is going great due to a lot of hard work by many participants in this community.
