Re: Need for one more release candidate for Jython 2.7.1

Tobias,

if you (or someone else) had a concrete fix for #2513 (or at least a precise idea how to fix it), ideally kind of a pull request, we can consider it.

Otherwise - given that nobody seems to be actively working on #2513 - and there is no totally obvious fix discribed in the threat, I'm afraid chances would be quite minimal. At least AFAICT.

Is there any chance that a bug fix for issue 2513 [0] can still be included in Jython 2.7.1? This bug in Jython's JSR 223 implementation prevents parallel execution. Therefore, the execution of Jython scripts is in our application guarded by a global lock, which is a performance bottleneck. A fix would be a great improvement for us!

Betreff: [Jython-dev] Need for one more release candidate for Jython 2.7.1

So it looks like we will need a RC3 for Jython 2.7.1, given the following two bugs:

- http://bugs.jython.org/issue2596 - Linebreaks in exceptions are wrong - PENDING

- http://bugs.jython.org/issue2593 - file.write(obj) if obj is not a str or buffer raises j.l.NullPointerException - OPEN

#2596, now fixed in master, is just the sort of bug that may scramble existing user tests (although multi-line messages are relatively rare). #2593 has an easy path to raising a NullPointerException that can come up in common Python code. But it should be very straightforward to guard against, so we should have a fix for it momentarily I would assume.

And that is it. There are exactly 301 other bugs that are open, as I write this email, so clearly we have plenty of work to consider in the future. But in my judgment, we are about there for a final release.

But it's still not too late to submit a bug against RC2! Please test against the download links on Frank's blog post: http://fwierzbicki.blogspot.com/2017/06/jython-271-rc2-released.html
