On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce the supported release Parrot 6.3.0, also known as "Black-cheeked Lovebird". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages. Parrot 6.3.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site (ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/supported/6.3.0/), 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.
