Psittacosaurus (...from the Greek for "parrot lizard")...
notable for being the most species-rich dinosaur genus.
Psittacosaurus is not as familiar to the general public
as its distant relative Triceratops but it is one of the
most completely known dinosaur genera.

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 5.6.0, also =
known
as "Psittacosaurus". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine =
aimed
at running all dynamic languages.
Parrot 5.6.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/5.6.0/), 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.

- Build
+ Makefile dependencies are now compatible with VMS make.
