Ooo I need your code, babe
Guess you know it's true
Hope you need this build babe
Just like I need you

News collected from Piers Cawley's excellent summaries:

Working Perl6 REs
Multidimensional keyed access
JIT for the ARM
Lexical scope operators

And many bug fixes and smaller subsystems. Please note that due to the
new (soon to be utilized) Unicode data files from the ICU project,
Parrot has upgraded from a parrotlet to an Amazon. Please be gentle when
utilizing the CVS server (compression is more important now, '-z3' from
the command line.

As per usual, if you want to join in on the fun, start by downloading a
copy of parrot-0.0.8 at CPAN at one of the following URLs (or a mirror):

http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JG/JGOFF/parrot-0.0.8.tgz
http://www.cpan.org/src/parrot-0.0.8.tgz

To get the latest CVS version:
  http://cvs.perl.org/

has the information you need.

Once you've unpacked Parrot, build it as follows:

perl Configure.pl
make
make test

After you've done that, look at docs/parrot.pod to learn more about it.

Discussion of Parrot takes place on the perl6-internals mailing list,
and patches should be sent there as well. If you're not subscribed, look
at:

http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=perl6-internals

for tips on how to subscribe. CVS commit access is given out to
developers who consistently submit good patches to the mailing list.
