Parrot 0.4.1 "Foghorn Leghorn" Released! On behalf of the Parrot team I'm proud to announce another monthly release of Parrot. I'd like to thank all involved people as well as our sponsors for supporting us.
What is Parrot? Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running Perl6 and other dynamic languages, see <http://www.parrotcode.org/> for more information. Parrot 0.4.1 changes and news - Installation: 'make install' is using standard locations now (/usr/local is the default --prefix) - Produce static and shared libraries on some systems - Configure system rearragement - OS pmc started (mkdir,cd,cwd,rm,umask,stat) - Shootout examples - Test files are now testable with 'prove' - Smoke (and smokej) outputs progress - PIR supports: I = A < B (>,<=,>=,==,!=) - Add support for octal number constants - partcl updates: - almost finish [string]; start [file] - add build tool for generating inline'd tcl builtins from templates. - Jako updates: NCI, subroutines, global variables and constants all work. (Gregor) After some pause you can grab it from <http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/L/LT/LTOETSCH/parrot-0.4.1.tar.gz>. As parrot is still in steady development we recommend that you just get the latest and best from SVN by following the directions at <http://www.parrotcode.org/source.html> Turn your web browser towards <http://www.parrotcode.org/> for more information about Parrot, get involved, and: Have fun! leo
