On behalf of the Parrot team I'm proud to announce the Parrot 0.1.1 release.
Parrot 0.1.1 is an intermediate release with tons of updates and fixes.
- Python support: Parrot runs 4/7 of the pie-thon test suite - Better OS support: more platforms, compilers, OS functions - Improved PIR syntax for method calls and <op>= assignment - Dynamic loading reworked including a "make install" target - MMD - multi method dispatch for binary vtable methods - Library improvement and cleanup - BigInt, Complex, *Array, Slice, Enumerate, None PMC classes - IA64 and hppa JIT supprt - Tons of fixes, improvements, new tests, and documentation updates.
A lot is unfinished and keeps changing. Nethertheless Parrot is stable and usable at the surface, while internals are moving.
After some pause you can grab it from <http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/L/LT/LTOETSCH/parrot-0.1.1.tar.gz> or just get the latest and best from CVS by following the directions at <http://dev.perl.org/cvs/>.

Have fun! leo
