The latest release is **v0.6.0 beta 1** released on 28th September 2015.
## Motivation
The "hello world" program in Java is at least 5 lines long, and contains 11
jargon words which are to be ignored. The "hello world" program in Python is
one simple line. However, the "hello world" of physical computing in Python
(flashing an LED) is similar to the Java program:
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

GPIO.setwarnings(False)
red = 2
GPIO.setup(red, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(red, True)
```
