 New in 2.5.0
-- Platforms
-  + EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) packages for RHEL6.beta are available
-  + Building and testing on amd64/i386, with gcc/g++
-  + Almost finished Parrot configure on RTEMS
-- Parrot starts to going Lorito
-  Lorito is the code name for a set of planned refactors to the core opcodes.
-  + The ops_pct branch has been merged into trunk. The "Stage 0" is done with it.
-       for more Information about Lorito see:
-           http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/Lorito
-           http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/LoritoRoadmap
 - Core
-  + Added ByteBuffer PMC
-  + Added a bunch of tests for Array PMCs
-  + Modify some PMC vtable functions to reduce complexity, simplifying its coverage.
-  + Deleted do-nothing custom mark in StringBuilder
-  + Fixed ticket #389; subs are not entered into a namespace unless you declare them
+  + Added ByteBuffer PMC to allow direct byte manipulation
+  + Modified some PMC vtable functions to reduce complexity, simplifying coverage.
+  + Modified PAST to generate symbolic PASM constants in PIR output.
+  + General STRING API cleanups
+  + Increased test coverage of core PMCs
   + Fixed up 'exit' opcode, added CONTROL_EXIT exception type.
-  + Modified PAST so that it can generate symbolic pasm constants in PIR output.
-  + Fixed some substr-out-of-range errors in Regex.match
-  + Various cleanups and some added functionality to NFG (Grapheme Normal Form).
-  + Various parts of the STRING API are now more graceful
-  + Improved implemented PAST::Pattern:
-      Can match on types, children, attributes, based on iseq to a constant,
-      based on true result from a closure and based on anything with an
-      ACCEPTS method.
-- Tests
-  + Fixed some tests that were failing because of dynops
-  + Some tests for the instrument dynpmc are added
-- NQP
-  + nqp-rx now supports multisubs and multimethods
+  + Experimental 'unroll' opcode renamed to 'finalize'
+- NQP-rx
+  + Added proper support for multisubs and multimethods
   + Fixed sigspace handling ** quantifier in regexes
   + Added \e strings
   + Added use of inversion lists for charclass lists in regexes
-- Languages
-  + resurrected partcl
-- Miscellaneous
+- Platforms
+  + EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) packages for RHEL6.beta are available
+- Begin moving towards Lorito, the ops refactor to enable pervasive self-hosting and JIT compilation.
+  + All ops are now built with the self-hosted opsc compiler.
+  + For more Information about Lorito see:

-
-These are the ops we use to load in and interface to non-parrot libraries.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item loadlib Px, Sy
-
-Load in the library whose name is specified by y, and put a handle to it into
-P register x.
-
-=item dlfunc Pw, Px, Sy, Sz
-
-Find a routine named Y, in library X (which you did, of course, open with
-loadlib), and put a sub PMC onto W for it. You can call this sub as if it were
-any other parrot subroutine.
-
-Z has the function signature, which tells Parrot how to build the interface
-from parrot (and parrot's calling conventions) to the calling conventions of
-the library routine. Yes, this does mean that you must know the function
-signature, but if you don't know that why the heck would you be invoking the
-function, right?
-
-The signature is a series of 1 or more characters, representing the types for
-the call. The first character is the return type, while the rest are the
-parameters. The types are:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item v
-
-Void. As a return type indicates that there I<is> no return type. As a
-parameter indicates that there are no parameters. Can't be mixed with other
-parameter types.
-
-=item c
-
-Char. This is an integer type, taken from (or put into) an I register.
-
-=item s
-
-short. An integer type, taken from 0 or put into an I register
-
-=item i
-
-int. An integer type.
-
-=item l
-
-long. An integer type. You know the drill.
-
-=item f
-
-float. F register denizen.
-
-=item d
-
-double. F register, double-precision floating point type
-
-=item p
-
-PMC thingie. A generic pointer, taken from or stuck into a PMC's data pointer.
-If this is a return type, parrot will create a new UnManagedStruct PMC type,
-which is just a generic "pointer so some damn thing or other" PMC type which
-Parrot does I<no> management of.
-
-=item t
-
-string pointer. Taken from, or stuck into, a string register. (Converted to a
-null-terminated C string before passing in)
-
-=back
-
-So the signature for, for example, this SDL routine:
-
-   int SDL_BlitSurface(SDL_Surface *src,
-                       SDL_Rect    *srcrect,
-                       SDL_Surface *dst,
-                       SDL_Rect    *dstrect);
-
-would be C<ipppp>, since it returns an integer and takes four pointers.
-Presumably previous calls would have set those pointers up properly.
-
-Do note that parrot makes no guarantees as to the behaviour of the libraries,
-and currently does no type checking on the input parameters. We will fix that
-later.
-
-The generated routine follows the calling conventions in PDD03. Note that int,
-string, pmc, and float parameters are counted separately. So if you have a
-signature of C<ippiidd> the return goes into I5, and the parameters come from
-P5, P6, I5, I6, N5, and N6, respectively. A signature of C<ipdiidp> has the
-identical same set of registers used (and in the same order).
-
-=item invoke
-
-Invoke a subroutine in P0. Presumes that all the registers are set up right
-for the call. The invoked subroutine I<must> preserve any registers that are
-not explicitly return parameters or calling convention metadata parameters.
-(Such as the number of I reg parameters, for example)
-
-=back
-
-=head3 Runtime compilation
-
-These opcodes deal with runtime creation of bytecode and compilation of source
-code.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item compile Px, Py, Sz
-
-Compile source string Z, with compiler unit Y, and stick a handle to a
-subroutine for the resulting bytecode segment (already loaded into the current
-interpreter) into X.
-
-Y is a assembler/compiler object of some sort, as registered with the
-B<compreg> opcode or the Parrot_compreg function. This will be something like
-"Perl5", "Perl6", "Perl5RE", "Perl6RE", "Python", "Ruby"... you get the
-picture.
-
-Imcc registers "PASM" and "PIR" compilers automatically.
-
-This is a high-level op, with the assumption that the resulting sub will be
-called. It's the equivalent of perl 5's string eval, except for the actual
-execution of the resulting code.
-
-=item compreg Px, Sy
-
-Get a compiler for source type Y.
-
-=item compreg Sx, Py
-
-Register the sub Y as a parser/compiler function named X. It will be called
-whenever anyone invokes the compile op with the name X.
