On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 5.2.0, also =
known
as "Stuffed Parrot".  Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine =
aimed
at running all dynamic languages.

Parrot 5.2.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/5.2.0/), 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 5.2.0 News:
    - Core
        + IO now only syncs buffers for the IO types where syncing makes =
sense.
            =3D PIO_VF_SYNC_IO flag added
    - Build
        + installable_pdump now has the correct rpath (blib corrected to =
lib).
    - Libraries
        + Tcl/Glob.pir has been removed. (PGE/Glob.pir remains intact)
    - Ecosystem
        + All Parrot tarballs are now symlinked to the 'all' directory,
          regardless of their true homes ('devel' or 'stable'), to =
better
          allow for automated downloads.
