   -- Cast of "Hee Haw"

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 6.0.0, also =
known
as "Red-necked Amazon".  Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual =
machine aimed
at running all dynamic languages.

Parrot 6.0.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/supported/6.0.0/), or by =
following the
download instructions at http://parrot.org/download.  For those who =
would like

Git to
