[IronPython] IronPython 0.9.3 released

[Martin Maly]

Hello IronPython community,
 
today, we have released IronPython 0.9.3. The biggest change for the
release is the implementation of closures and re-factoring of the
name-tables. The closures were becoming the limitation of IronPython
that we were coming across more and more often when working on the
regression test suite. Most of the bugs fixed are closure related, but
there are few others that we fixed:
 
* Closures and closure related changes:
 - Name is resolved to object in enclosing scope, even though it is
defined in the current scope (later)
 - Closures are broken
 - self not known in definition of lambda function
 - self not known in lambda function
 
* Generator releated bugfixes:
 - CodeGen for nested generators throws in some cases
 - Re-generating code with generators throws
    - codegen for generators modified state of AST which would cause
exceptions on 2nd pass

 
* True/False issue
 - comparison code didn't handle boolean type properly. For example True
== False didn't return False
 
* Changes in import statement name binding
 - rework of import statement. import binds to local names rather than
global ones
 
* Old type class doesn't have __dict__
* FastEval option doesn't resolve builtin names

Our thans for feedback and bug reports go to: Jacques de Hooge, Jonathan
Jacobs, Sumit Basu and Szymon Kobalczyk
