Parrot 1.0.0 "Haru Tatsu" Released!

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom...

What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it, can't buy it
Walk on...

— U2, "Walk On"

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 1.0.0 "Haru Tatsu." Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages.

Parrot Subversion Repository moved to parrot.org

As of January 29th, 2009, the parrot svn repository is now hosted on parrot.org instead of perl.org.

If you have an existing checkout of the original repository, you can easily switch to the new repository with the following command:

svn switch --relocate https://svn.perl.org https://svn.parrot.org

Thanks to the admins at perl.org for all their support.

Developers, when you do the switch, be prepared to authenticate to the repository with your trac id and password.
