On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 4.10.0, also known as "Red-eared Parakeet". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages.
Parrot 4.10.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site (ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/4.10.0/), 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. Parrot 4.10.0 News: - Core + Add PMCNULL check to result_info op + Fixed record separator bug on io handles - Build + Add -fpermissive so that nqp builds under gcc 4.7.2 + Fixed warnings for old ICU 4.4 - Platforms + More VMS fixes, but not yet done - Branches + The threads branch is ready to be merged, but nqp needs some changes, so it will be merged with 4.11.0. - Examples + Parrot mini-web server fixes The SHA256 message digests for the downloadable tarballs are: 82f38e6e596ab101c52313ad3e3560d2c8a72985362b54d9898619ab17a6f17d parrot-4.10.0.tar.gz 7d6a592c386d25bcee429a269cc571ae81c5c080b15d14a884401a27fe3f5d4b parrot-4.10.0.tar.bz2 Many thanks to all our contributors for making this possible, and our sponsors for supporting this project. Our next scheduled release is 18 December 2012. The release is a day late. I apologize for the lateness. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/
