The Parrot team is proud to announce the release of Parrot version 0.0.10, code named "Juice" (based on the new -Oj optimization flag). It is downloadable from http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SF/SFINK/parrot-0.0.10.tar.gz. If you would like to check the latest copy out from CVS, see these instructions.

Try it out by unpacking it, then running:

  perl Configure.pl
  make
  make test
[download]

or for a newer, *much* faster way to run the tests:

  perl Configure.pl
  make
  cd languages/imcc; make; cd ../..
  make test IMCC=languages/imcc/imcc
[download]

If you would like to join in the fun, all discussion occurs on the perl6-internals mailing list. Start from www.parrotcode.org for information on all Parroty things.

Enhancements in 0.0.10 include:

IMCC integration
eval instruction (for Parrot opcodes)
more benchmarking
cgp core (faster)
intersegment branches
optimized math ops
more complete use of PObjs
beefed up packfiles
sub/continuation/coroutine fixes
better NCI (native calling interface)
many imcc improvements (including the -Oj flag for using IMCC metadata for JIT optimization)
jako improvements
shiny new BASIC compiler to go along with the earlier BASIC interpreter

Check out the mailing list archive or just download the code and try it out!
