On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 6.7.0, also known as "Grey-headed Lovebird". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages.
Parrot 6.7.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site (ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/6.7.0/), 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 6.7.0 News: - Core + find_codepoint: added more name aliases for perl6 (LF,FF,CR and NEL) + Optimize internal pcc CallContext calls from VTABLE to direct calls and inline CallContext ATTR accessors to omit the obj check. [GH #1083] - Documentation + Updated documentation for StringHandle.readall and FileHandle.readall, which reads just the rest of the buffer if tell > 0. [GH #1084] - Tests + Improve test plan for t/library/pg.t - Community + Our GSoC student Chirag Agrawal successfully passed the final evaluation. All three project parts have been merged already. The SHA256 message digests for the downloadable tarballs are: 04b0ee976c61100af993f8830863ccfee9eada6bf2b9c224850653d470dc9da2 parrot-6.7.0.tar.gz a8d62af7cc93c39343311337acc5d7771107e99689a8df160bc8b3acc3ba99eb parrot-6.7.0.tar.bz2 Many thanks to all our contributors esp. our GSOC student Chirag Agrawal for making this possible, and our sponsors, esp. cPanel for supporting this project. Our next scheduled release is at 16 Sep 2014. Enjoy! -- Reini Urban http://parrot.org/ http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/
