### Jython 2.7.2 beta (November 2019)
7+
8+
A beta release is now available for Jython 2.7.2 at [Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.python).
9+
It is tested against Java 8 and Java 11.
10+
This has been a long time in the making, as there were quite a few bugs known that we deemed it necessary to fix.
11+
12+
Notable new features include:
13+
- A "slim" JAR that may be cited in Gradle and Maven builds, so you can take control of dependencies.
14+
- Elimination (nearly everywhere) of the Java 9+
15+
[reflective access warning](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/migrate/#GUID-7BB28E4D-99B3-4078-BDC4-FC24180CE82B).
16+
- Much improved support for `locale`, when you opt in via the property `python.locale.control=settable`.
17+
- Console messages are now produced via `java.util.logging` and the `org.python` name space for you to manage.
18+
- Jython command options are now closer to the CPython equivalent.
19+
20+
Numerous instances are corrected where we mis-handled the encoding of file, user and host names,
21+
which has been a frequent problem for users where ASCII won't do.
22+
Many more fixed bugs are listed in [NEWS](https://github.com/jythontools/jython/blob/v2.7.2b2/NEWS).
