FYI, 
 
ZeroC, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of the Internet 
Communications Engine (Ice), version 2.0.0.
 
Changes in Ice since version 1.5.1 include:
 
* New language mappings for Visual Basic .NET and Python 2.3:
 
   - The Visual Basic mapping includes a Slice compiler, seamless 
integration with Ice for C#, and support for all of the Ice API features.
 
   - The Ice extension for Python makes Ice instantly accessible from 
this popular scripting language, including support for static and 
dynamic Slice translation, client and server functionality, and asynchronous

invocation and dispatch.
 
* A new lightweight firewall solution called Glacier2 that offers 
several improvements over the previous implementation:
 
   - Requires only one open port for connections from clients
 
   - Easier integration with network firewall devices
 
   - Lower resource consumption
 
   - Simpler configuration
 
* A new streaming API allows you to serialize and deserialize Slice 
types using the Ice encoding or any other encoding of your choice.
 
* Support for dynamic invocation and dispatch, which permit you to 
invoke and receive RPCs without compile-time type knowledge.
 
* Several new chapters in the documentation, which has been reorganized 
to be easier to use.
 
* Numerous other improvements and bug fixes.
