[0]leo writes "On behalf of the Parrot team I'm proud to announce another
monthly release of Parrot.

I'd like to thank all involved people as well as our sponsors for
supporting us.

What is Parrot?

Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running Perl6 and other dynamic
languages, see [1]parrotcode.org for more information.

Parrot 0.4.5 changes and news

  * unicode subroutine names

  * hierarchical class names finished including MMD support

  * new dotnet CLI to PIR translator

  * improved TGE code and compiler

  * APL: vector handling

  * new STM branch in the svn repository

  * the usual bugfixes and enhancements

After some pause you can grab it from [2]CPAN.

As parrot is still in steady development we recommend that you just get
the latest and best from SVN by following the directions at
[3]source.html.

Turn your web browser towards [1]parrotcode.org for more information
about Parrot, get involved, and:

Have fun!
leo"

As difficult as it is to believe, YAPC::NA 2006 is now less than one week
away. Most likely many of you will be starting your journeys to the Windy
City soon. Of course some of you will be blogging about it and some will
be snapping photos and uploading to flickr along the way. In order to
catch all of the talk about YAPC, we are asking that you use the tag
'yapcna2006' when tagging your entries and that you add your blog or
website to our [0]list of attendee blogs. Also, let us know where you are
putting your tags, be it flickr, del.icio.us, or whatever.

There are a few YAPC photo projects that are being worked on, so if you
are willing to license your content under a creative commons license that
allows for reuse, please remember to note that when posting.
