### Roadmap
##### v0.1: [released 4/2/2014](https://tech.dropbox.com/2014/04/introducing-pyston-an-upcoming-jit-based-python-implementation/)
- Focus was on building and validating the core Python-to-LLVM JIT infrastructure.
- Many core parts of the language were missing.
##### v0.5: Coming soon
- Focus is on being ready to run Dropbox's production services. Initial plan:
- Support for a final few esoteric Python features
- Better stability and performance (but particularly for the Dropbox servers)
##### v0.4: [released 11/3/2015](http://blog.pyston.org/2015/11/03/102/)
- Many new features and better language support
- Passes most of the tests of several famous python libraries
- Unicode support
- GC finalizer
- much improved C API support
- Better performance
- Custom C++ exception handler
- Object Cache (improves startup time)
- Baseline JIT
##### v0.3: [released 2/24/2015](http://blog.pyston.org/2015/02/24/pyston-0-3-self-hosting-sufficiency/)
- Better language support
- Can self-host all of our internal Python scripts
- Better performance
- Match CPython's performance on our small benchmark suite
##### v0.2: [released 9/11/2014](http://blog.pyston.org/2014/09/11/9/)
- Focus was on improving language compatibility to the point that we can start running "real code" in the form of existing benchmarks.

- Multithreading support
- We have allowed performance to regress, sometimes considerably, but (hopefully) in places that allow for more efficient implementations as we have time.
