Released: _sre.py 2.4b
I’ve just created another release of _sre.py. No bugs were discovered since the first alpha release (which makes me a bit suspicious - I know they’re hiding in there somewhere). The only thing new in this release are some optimizations, mainly centering around special cases like pure literal regular expressions.
There is a tarball and a minimal website with more information. For what it’s worth, it’s also in the Cheese Shop now.
This was probably the last standalone release. Further development is going to be rather PyPy-specific and will happen in the PyPy trunk.
