==========
PyPy 5.0.1
==========
We have released a bugfix for PyPy 5.0, after reports that the newly released
`lxml 3.6.0`_, which now supports PyPy 5.0 +, can `crash on large files`_.
Thanks to those who reported the crash. Please update, downloads are available
at pypy.org/download.html
.. _`lxml 3.6.0`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/3.6.0
.. _`crash on large files`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2260
The changes between PyPy 5.0 and 5.0.1 are only two bug fixes: one in
cpyext, which fixes notably (but not only) lxml; and another for a
corner case of the JIT.
What is PyPy?
=============
PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
CPython 2.7. It's fast (`PyPy and CPython 2.7.x`_ performance comparison)
due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
We also welcome developers of other
`dynamic languages`_ to see what RPython can do for them.
This release supports **x86** machines on most common operating systems
(Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows 32, OpenBSD, FreeBSD),
newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux, and the
big- and little-endian variants of **PPC64** running Linux.

.. _`dynamic languages`: http://pypyjs.org
Please update, and continue to help us make PyPy better.
Cheers
The PyPy Team
