Copyright 1998-2013 perl.org Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:33:49 +0000 ask@perl.org Parrot 5.5.0 "Salvadori's Fig Parrot" Released! by Bruce Gray Obi-Wan: That boy is our last hope. Yoda: No. There is another. -- Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 5.5.0, also known as "Salvadori's Fig Parrot". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages. Parrot 5.5.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site (ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/5.5.0/), 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 5.5.0 News: - Build + Configure options are now allowed to be quoted. + Fixed build on Win32. + Updated location of NQP on Win32. + Fixed Parrot::Distribution detection. - Documentation + Noted that RESPONSIBLE_PARTIES is mostly out of date. - Tests + Stopped testing native PBC on 64bit LE, due to lack of access to such machine. - Release + Added tool: make_upload_commands.pl - Community + Parrot has been awarded 3 student slots in Google Summer of Code 2013! This means that 3 lucky students will be on a paid internship from Google to work on these accepted proposals: = Saurabh Kumar - "Update parrot-libgit2 to latest libgit2 release" https://gist.github.com/sa1/5468408 http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/saurabh_kgp/11002 = Paweł Murias - "A Javascript backend for Rakudo" http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/pmurias/9002 = Denis Boyun - "Improve Web UI of App::Parrot::Create" https://gist.github.com/denisboyun/5472762 https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/chob_rock/9001 + YAPC::NA::2013 hosted 4 days of Hackathon, focusing on the next generation of Perl implementations. = Huge Success! + MoarVM was unveiled: https://github.com/MoarVM + P2 on Potion was debuted: http://perl11.org/p2/ The SHA256 message digests for the downloadable tarballs are: 408a45660483499106a35107a836a80da27269a6d54bb114ba6e2249b2b9e9da parrot-5.5.0.tar.gz eb7b7d461e627673e77f5e875154506054ce9950d63b263875d9272c7814fd30 parrot-5.5.0.tar.bz2 Many thanks to all our contributors for making this possible, and our sponsors for supporting this project.

Michaud ## A useful, usable, "early adopter" distribution of Perl 6 On behalf of the Rakudo and Perl 6 development teams, I'm happy to announce the May 2013 release of "Rakudo Star", a useful and usable distribution of Perl 6. The tarball and Windows .MSI for the May 2013 release are available from <http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/>. In the Perl 6 world, we make a distinction between the language ("Perl 6") and specific implementations of the language such as "Rakudo Perl". This Star release includes [release 2013.05] of the [Rakudo Perl 6 compiler], version 5.2.0 of the [Parrot Virtual Machine], plus various modules, documentation, and other resources collected from the Perl 6 community. [release 2013.05]: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/docs/announce/2013.05.md [Rakudo Perl 6 compiler]: http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo [Parrot Virtual Machine]: http://parrot.org Some of the new features added to this release include: * The ?-quantifier on regex captures now returns a single Match object (formerly returned an array). Use `** 0..1` to get the old behavior. * Failed matches return Nil instead of a false Match object. * Rakudo warns when pure expressions are used in sink context * .substr(...) now correctly accepts whatever-star closures * Implemented shellwords postcircumfix (%h<< $x 'foo bar' >>) * Defining operators spelled like the empty string is now illegal * Array interpolations now properly do LTM * Autothread "none" and "all" junctions before "any" and "one" * Helpful error if you write "else if"/"elif" instead of "elsif" * Throw exception if a Range is used as a Range endpoint * Corrected argument order in IO.seek * wrap low level VM objects in ForeignCode, allowing perl6 OO calls on them * for loops are eager again * add link and symlink to IO * add Capture.Bool() * improvements to DUMP() * various optimizations in the optimizer and the runtime * smartmatch against list now supports Whatever wildcards * IO::Spec, a port of Perl 5's File::Spec * regex special characters can be used as delimiters * allow slice with :exists adverb on hashes * added 125 extra opening/closing bracket-pairs This release also contains a range of bug fixes, improvements to error reporting and better failure modes. The following features have been deprecated or modified from previous releases due to changes in the Perl 6 specification, and are planned to be removed or changed as follows: * `postcircumfix:<[ ]>` and `postcircumfix:<{ }>` will become multi-subs rather than multi-methods. Both at_pos and at_key will remain methods. * Unary hyper ops currently descend into nested arrays and hashes. This will change to make them equivalent to a one-level map. * The Str.ucfirst builtin is deprecated; it will be replaced by Str.tc. * Leading whitespace in rules and under :sigspace will no longer be converted to `<.ws>`. For existing regexes that expect this conversion, add a `<?>` in front of leading whitespace to make it meta again. * The result of failed matches will be Nil instead of a Match object returning boolean False. There are some key features of Perl 6 that Rakudo Star does not yet handle appropriately, although they will appear in upcoming releases. Some of the not-quite-there features include: * advanced macros * threads and concurrency * Unicode strings at levels other than codepoints * interactive readline that understands Unicode * non-blocking I/O * much of Synopsis 9 There is an online resource at <http://perl6.org/compilers/features> that lists the known implemented and missing features of Rakudo and other Perl 6 implementations. In many places we've tried to make Rakudo smart enough to inform the programmer that a given feature isn't implemented, but there are many that we've missed. Bug reports about missing and broken features are welcomed at <rakudobug@perl.org>. See <http://perl6.org/> for links to much more information about Perl 6, including documentation, example code, tutorials, reference materials, specification documents, and other supporting resources. A draft of a Perl 6 book is available as docs/UsingPerl6-draft.pdf in the release tarball. The development team thanks all of the contributors and sponsors for making Rakudo Star possible. If you would like to contribute, see <http://rakudo.org/how-to-help>, ask on the <perl6-compiler@perl.org> mailing list, or join us on IRC \#perl6 on freenode.
