We're waiting for objects or exceptions for 0.1.0, but that doesn't mean we can't have a 0.0.10. But while I agree that a lot has changed since 0.0.9, not much is different from a Parrot user's perspective (as opposed to a Parrot implementer's perspective). At least, I didn't think so. Let's see what a diff turns up... - IMCC integration - eval - some more benchmarking - cgp core - optimized math ops - intersegment branches - more complete use of PObjs - beefed up packfiles - sub/continuation/coroutine fixes - better NCI (native calling interface) - many imcc improvements - jako improvements So the user-visible stuff would appear to be: imcc integration (speedup!), eval, sub stuff, and NCI. Okay, you're right -- that's easily enough to warrant a release. I'll announce a code freeze soon.
