On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 6.4.0, also known
as "Double-eyed Fig Parrot". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed
at running all dynamic languages.
Parrot 6.4.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/6.4.0/), 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 6.4.0 News:
- Examples
+ Enhance shootout/regexdna.pir to test GC write barrier crashes
- Community
+ Our GSOC project did officially start. See https://github.com/ZYROz/parrot
