Parrot 5.7.0 "Azure-rumped Parrot" Released!

[Bruce Gray]

	Rock Concert Movement #237 - Taking the audience on a Jungian journey
	into the collective unconscious by using the shadow as a metaphor for
	the primal self that gets repressed by the modern persona and also by
	using an underground setting and labyrinth office design to represent
	both the depths of the psyche and the dungeon-like isolation of our
	increasingly mechanistic society which prevents people from finding
	satisfying work or meaningful connections with others.
	...
	It's Time to Start!

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 5.7.0, also known
as "Azure-rumped Parrot".  Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed
at running all dynamic languages.

Parrot 5.7.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/5.7.0/), 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.
