PyPy 1.2 released

Version 1.2 of PyPy - an alternative implementation of the Python interpreter - has been released. "This version 1.2 is a major milestone and it is the first release to ship a Just-in-Time compiler that is known to be faster than CPython (and unladen swallow) on some real-world applications (or the best benchmarks we could get for them). The main theme for the 1.2 release is speed." It's still not quite ready for production use, but it appears to be getting a lot closer.
