| Abstract | |
| ======== | |
| This document describes the Python 2.2 development and release | |
| schedule. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized | |
| items. Small bug fixes and changes will occur up until the first | |
| beta release. | |
| The schedule below represents the actual release dates of Python | |
| 2.2. Note that any subsequent maintenance releases of Python 2.2 | |
| should be covered by separate PEPs. | |
| Release Schedule | |
| ================ | |
| Tentative future release dates. Note that we've slipped this | |
| compared to the schedule posted around the release of 2.2a1. | |
| * 21-Dec-2001: 2.2 [Released] (final release) | |
| * 14-Dec-2001: 2.2c1 [Released] | |
| * 14-Nov-2001: 2.2b2 [Released] | |
| * 19-Oct-2001: 2.2b1 [Released] | |

| Release Manager | |
| =============== | |
| Barry Warsaw was the Python 2.2 release manager. | |
| Release Mechanics | |
| ================= | |
| We experimented with a new mechanism for releases: a week before | |
| every alpha, beta or other release, we forked off a branch which | |
| became the release. Changes to the branch are limited to the | |
| release manager and his designated 'bots. This experiment was | |
| deemed a success and should be observed for future releases. See | |
| :pep:`101` for the actual release mechanics. | |
| New features for Python 2.2 | |
| =========================== | |
| The following new features are introduced in Python 2.2. For a | |
| more detailed account, see Misc/NEWS [2]_ in the Python | |
| distribution, or Andrew Kuchling's "What's New in Python 2.2" | |
| document [3]_. | |
| - iterators (:pep:`234`) | |
| - generators (:pep:`255`) | |
| - unifying long ints and plain ints (:pep:`237`) | |
| - division (:pep:`238`) | |
| - unification of types and classes (:pep:`252`, :pep:`253`) | |
