| Strawberry Perl Update |

With [0]my repository working again and [1]PPI 1.200 release, the next
project I hope to catch up on is [2]Strawberry Perl. I think this has
taken on particular importance now because of the Perl Survey results,
which showed that about 50% of Perl users have used Windows in the last
year, but only 5% of Perl users ONLY used Windows.

I'm helping David Cantrell with [0]Devel::AssertLib -- particularly with
Win32 portability.
I have a branch that passes tests on my Linux and Strawberry Perl
platforms, and I've added code that I *think* should work with
ActiveState and MSVC, but I don't have that platform set up anywhere.
I'd greatly appreciate if someone(s) would download the branch from my
repository, try running tests and let me know what happens:
http://dagolden.googlecode.com/svn/shadow/Devel-AssertLib/branches/dagolden/
If it fails and you can patch it to work, that would be wonderful as
well.
Thank you very much

| Common Lisp backend in KindaPerl6 making progress |

The Common Lisp backend for KindaPerl6 has been making a lot of progress
since [0]I last wrote about it. We now have working variables,
subroutines, lexicals (and closures), methods and other nice stuff. The
full report is [1] on the pugs blog.

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 0.4.17 "Two
for Finching." Parrot (http://parrotcode.org/) is a virtual machine aimed
at running all dynamic languages.
Parrot 0.4.17 can be obtained via CPAN (soon), or follow the download
instructions at http://parrotcode.org/source.html. For those who would
like to develop on Parrot, or help develop Parrot itself, we recommend
using Subversion or SVK on the source code repository to get the latest
and best Parrot code.

| Crypt::Rijndael now works on Solaris/x86 |

It's looks like I've solved the Crypt::Rijndael problems thanks to [0]a
patch from djberg96. It looks like some systems had an integer overflow
problem with:
0xff << 24
So djberg96 changed that to use an unsigned int by attaching the U to the
end of the number. I think I used to know that.
0xffU << 24
Additionally, I cast some return values from the XS stuff to (UINT *) to
ensure that everything treated them as unsigned ints.
