Parrot 5.4.0 "Austin Parrot" Released! by Bruce Gray

2013-05-22T04:16:59Z

From: Bruce Gray Jimi Hendrix, deceased, drugs.
Janis Joplin, deceased, alcohol.
Mama Cass, deceased, ham sandwich.
-- Austin Powers (making a list of friends from the Summer of Love)

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 5.4.0, also known
as "Austin Parrot". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed
at running all dynamic languages, and currently focusing on Perl 6.

Parrot 5.4.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/5.4.0/), 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 5.4.0 News:
- Core
+ Implemented the coth() and acot() math functions.
+ Fixed chomp to only trim a newline when it ends the string. [GH #958]
+ Added readlink() and Parrot_file_readlink(), with tests. [GH #967]
- Build
+ Parrot now detects the CPU model on Linux systems, as well as
detecting more CPU models on BSD, Cygwin, Solaris, Win32, and Darwin.
ARM v7 is also now recognized. [GH #962]
- Documentation
+ Threads examples now have proper POD sections and useful descriptions
with links to references.
+ Added main description for Task PMC.
+ Added descriptions to trig methods in Float PMC.
- Tests
+ Added improved test coverage targets "cover_new" and "fullcover_new".
+ Improved tests for acot(), coth(), acot() math functions.
+ Added tests for options passed to debugger.
+ Updated native PBC test files for string, number, and integer,
which resolved 11 TODOs in the test suite. [GH #959]
+ Fixed test for the auto/arch config step.
- Release process
+ Added message digests to crow.pir.
+ Added in release.json: "release.type" can be "devel" or "supported".
+ Refactored common code to sub in auto_release.pl.
- Community
+ Parrot is part of the Hackathon at YAPC::NA::2013, in Austin, TX, USA!
http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki?node=Hackathons
+ Parrot has been accepted to Google Summer of Code 2013!
+ Currently there are two high-quality proposals being worked on:
https://gist.github.com/sa1/5468408 - parrot-libgit2
https://gist.github.com/denisboyun/5472762 - App::Parrot::Create

The SHA256 message digests for the downloadable tarballs are:
4e37686911b446f5e5f2c0aa62138988ba0c411d2c5e2ba231d1a3421a85ad10 parrot-5.4.0.tar.gz

Many thanks to all our contributors for making this possible, and our sponsors
for supporting this project. Our next scheduled release is 18 Jun 2013.

Enjoy!

Log Message:
-----------
distinguish FINAL phase from CHECK phase

CHECK phase is always after the parsing of the current compilation
unit. FINAL phase is after the main application's CHECK phase,
when the application as a whole commits to optimization policies.
In other words, a FINAL block defined in a module is not run when the
module is compiled (that would be a CHECK instead), but rather when the
application using the module is completing its compilation and linking.

more set/bag list clarifications

We're not trying to override explicit @ or .keys here, merely the
implicit policy for a default of item in list context.

Also, set/bag constructors are simply slurpies, and shouldn't care at all
what was passed as the objects in those slurpies. Generally one should
be using "union" to combine sets or bags anyway, not relying on implicit
constructor semantics to do that.

Log Message:
-----------
distinguish structural unaries by 'is nodal' trait

People naturally expect structural unaries like subscripts to be flat
but non-structural unaries to recurse when hypered. The best place to
hang this info is on the top-level function/method/proto that will be
passed to the hyper controller as object representing the operation
in question. Subscripts and methods like .values are considered
"nodal". For static functions on static shapes of known type, this
enables compile-time knowledge of what can be sent to the GPU.

Fixes #42

Parrot 5.3.0 "W00tstock Parrot" Released! by Bruce Gray

2013-04-17T04:39:28Z

From: Bruce Gray We are stardust.
Billion year old carbon.
We are golden.
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
(To some semblance of a garden.)
-- "Woodstock", by Joni Mitchell

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 5.3.0, also known
as "W00tstock Parrot". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed
at running all dynamic languages, and currently focusing on Perl 6.

Parrot 5.3.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/5.3.0/), 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 5.3.0 News:
- Build
+ Files generated by `make cover` are now correctly cleaned by `make`
and ignored by `git`.
- Tests
+ Internal testing of the Configure probe for Fink now works correctly
with the --verbose flag.
+ Tests added for .sort method of ResizableFloatArray and
ResizableIntegerArray. [GH #926], [GH #927]
+ Benchmarks added for .sort methods of various Array objects.
[GH #175]
+ Coverage analysis added for pbc_disassemble.

The SHA256 message digests for the downloadable tarballs are:
79d6f1fe20645b0afbc496cd0d7850a78b8940230e7637c5356d780f5aa1750b parrot-5.3.0.tar.gz
4cff32521c79d8a783ad57d9a13e205ea3c1b1585085e0da80138b58b77d0ed5 parrot-5.3.0.tar.bz2

Many thanks to all our contributors for making this possible, and our sponsors
for supporting this project. Our next scheduled release is 21 May 2013.

Enjoy!
