On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 4.3.0, also
known
as "In Which...".  Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine
aimed
at running all dynamic languages.

Parrot 4.3.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/stable/4.3.0/), or by
following the
download instructions at http://parrot.org/download.  For those who
would like
to develop on Parrot, or help develop Parrot itself, we recommend using
Git to
retrieve the source code to get the latest and best Parrot code.
