   "One must command from each what each can perform, the king went
on. "Authority is based first of all upon reason. If you command your
subjects to jump into the ocean, there will be a revolution. I am
entitled to command obedience because my orders are reasonable."
   "Then my sunset?" insisted the little prince, who never let go of
a question once he had asked it.
   "You shall have your sunset. I shall command it. But I shall wait,
according to my science of government, until conditions are
favorable."

— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 2.1.0 "As
Scheduled." Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic
languages.

Parrot 2.1.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site, or follow the download
instructions. For those who would like to develop on Parrot, or help
develop Parrot itself, we recommend using Subversion on our source
code repository to get the latest and best Parrot code.

Parrot 2.1.0 News:

- Core changes
 + GC performance and encapsulation were greatly improved.
 + PMC freeze refactored.
 + More Makefile and build improvements.
- API Changes
 + The Array PMC was removed.
 + Several deprecated vtables were removed.
 + The OrderedHash PMC was substantialy improved.
- Platforms
 + Packaging improvements on some operating systems.
- Tools
 + Some cases in pbc_merge are now handled.
 + Improvements were made to the dependency checker.
 + New tool nativecall.pir added.

Thanks to all our contributors for making this possible, and our
sponsors for supporting this project. Our next release is 16 March
2010.

Enjoy!
