Re: Release 0.0.11 status

The only feedback I received was positive, so parrot-0.0.11.tar.gz is on its way to CPAN right now. Sorry, no hq9+ interpreter included, however. Any language that can print itself should be able to test itself, but there's no 't' command to print "ok 1". Such shoddy design should not be encouraged
