Sources of DLR
Interesting question came to me ... where can one get (latest) sources of DLR?
Basically, right now there are two sources you can get DLR from:
RubyForge
RubyForge is where the whole IronRuby project lives and as the development progresses, periodically the IronRuby team pushes the latest code to RubyForge. I am not sure how often this happens, or when it happened last, but having poked around the DLR source code which is part of the RubyForge IronRuby project, it may be couple weeks old, which given the series of recent changes, is too old if you just want to play with DLR directly.
CodePlex
CodePlex is where the IronPython project lives. It is also a place where we publish the Alpha releases of IronPython 2.0 which include corresponding alpha releases of DLR. The latest release of IronPython + DLR was Alpha 8.
Apart from the Alpha releases of IronPython + DLR which happen roughly every month, we publish the source code itself more frequently, and you can download it as often as we upload updated version, which is every one to two weeks. The ultimate goal would be per commit, but realistically it happens about once a week.
Recently there was series of big changes happening in the DLR in areas I spent much of my blogs talking about, so if you are following those and playing with the samples, or even creating your own, your best bet is to use the CodePlex sources that we just published this Monday.
Good luck with your DLR projects and feel free to ask questions.
