python-2.5.4

We are pleased to announce the release of Python 2.5.4 (final), a bugfix release of Python 2.5, on December 23rd, 2008. This is the last bugfix release of Python 2.5. Python 2.5 is now in bugfix-only mode; no new features are being added. According to the release notes, about 80 bugs and patches have been addressed since Python 2.5 .2, many of them improving the stability of the interpreter, and improving its portability. Python 2.5.3 unfortunately contained an incorrect patch that could cause interpreter crashes; the only change in Python 2.5.4 relative to 2.5.4 is the reversal of this patch. Future releases will only address security isses, and no binaries or documentation updates will be provided in future releases of Python 2.5. .2, many of them improving the stability of the interpreter, and improving its portability.
