On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 7.5.0, also
known as "Yellow-collared Lovebird".  Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a
virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages.

Parrot 7.5.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/7.5.0/), 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.
