Ironruby core - Apr 2010 - IronRuby and IronPython

Hi all,

First, many thanks to the IronRuby team and their outstanding work on the
1.0 release!

Now, my question: I want to embed both IronRuby and IronPython in my
application. In the past, in order to avoid
namespace/assembly/version collisions, I''ve just downloaded one of the
builds from one team or the other that includes both sets of binaries.
However, yesterday, all the planets aligned, and both teams released a build
I''ve been waiting for (IronRuby 1.0 and IronPython 2.6.1).

What is the best way for me to keep in sync with both teams'' releases?
Is
there a coordinated build that is released on a regular basis? I did try
downloading the DLR sources and building from scratch. It appears IronPython
is up to 2.6.1 in the DLR source, but IronRuby is still reporting
0.9.something.

Many thanks,

     -Justin

Your welcome :)

IronPython and IronRuby not only released on the same date, but we released out
of the same branch, so we have dependencies on the same exact DLR; a first in
the project''s history. This is why IronRuby didn''t release a
"for IronPython interop" package.

Going forward, we will not always be this fortunate to sync up releases. This
time around we decided to snap to .NET 4.0''s releases, but that only
happens every couple years, so not a great release strategy for us. In general,
it''s best to pull sources from dlr.codeplex.com if you absolutely need
binaries that work together. Keep in mind you can also get the sources from
github.com/ironruby/ironruby, as they include IronPython''s sources as
well (Merlin/main/languages/IronPython).

Unfortunately, neither repository is up to date with our main branch, though
ironruby''s 1.0 branch is exactly the sources for 1.0. This is because
our CI lab is being moved to another building, and we''ve yet to get it
back up, so the source publishing hasn''t been happening. It will resume
shortly.
