Hi, as this is relevant to you as well, let me send this announcement here too.
Yesterday we have released v0.22 of Padre the Perl IDE written in Perl 5. http://padre.perlide.org/ There are many changes as usual but the two important ones for the Parrot/Perl 6 developers are related mostly to two plug-ins of Padre: 1) The Padre::Plugin::Parrot allows the embedding of PASM code in Padre. This means you could actually add plug-ins to Padre written in Perl. With the further enhancement of Parrot::Embed (and specifically Parrot::Interpreter) we will be able to write plug-ins to Padre in any of the languages running on Parrot. (See tickets #74, #75, #76, #79) on https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/report/1 2) Padre::Plugin::Perl6, written by Ahmad Zawawi uses STD.pm to provide slow but correct syntax highlighting and syntax checking of Perl 6code. As we have discussed on #padre it is very slow so it can only be used for really small files but I hope it will be improved soon. In any case I am really happy that we have any kind of *correct* Perl 6 parsing on Christmas Eve 2008. To install Padre you need Perl 5 compiled with threads and then run cpan> install Padre Further help can be found on http://padre.perlide.org/wiki/Download/ or on #padre Following is the original announcement of Steffen Mueller. regards Gabor ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steffen Mueller <smuel...@cpan.org> Date: Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 9:08 PM Subject: [Padre-dev] Padre 0.22 released! To: Padre development discussion list <padre-...@perlide.org>, padre-n...@perlide.org Dear Padre users and developers, Padre version 0.22 has just been uploaded to the PAUSE. That means it will propagate to the CPAN mirrors without a few hours. Like the previous release, the list of changes is quite long, but one particular achievement is support for highlighting Perl6 code and checking its syntax if Padre::Plugin::Perl6 is available. Christmas is close. Once the distribution has reached your CPAN mirror, you will be able to access the full Change Log at http://search.cpan.org/src/SMUELLER/Padre-0.22/Changes The next Padre release is very preliminarily scheduled for December 28th or 29th and we're still looking for a new release engineer.
