<Andy> I won't be here in 75 minutes, so I'm just listening.

<Coke> let's wait just a moment for allison/chromatic
<particle> andy won't be here, nothing to report
% allison has joined #parrotsketch
<Coke> Whee. Allison, you get to go first. =-)
<allison> - I've wrapped up events, but I've left it turned off for the 0.5.1 release.
<allison> - After the release, I'll turn on the new concurrency scheduler, switch low-level signal handling over to the concurrency scheduler, and turn off the old event handling runloop.
<allison> - I've completed a draft of the Multiple Dispatch PDD, which I'll commit after the release.
<allison> EOR
<Coke> Thanks. I'll go next...
<Coke> Worked on the status of deprecation documentation this week;
<Coke> got it in in time for the release, so there will be plenty
<Coke> of things we can safely rip out as soon as the release is cut.
<Coke> Started updating the ROADMAP document again. Talked with
<Coke> petdance about internal vs. external ROADMAPs; he seems very
<Coke> eager to help out on the external side.
<Coke> EOR
<Coke> jhorwitz?
<Coke> (then jonathan, particle, perljam)
<jhorwitz> for those that i missed last week, got mod_plumhead working, so we have PHP running under mod_parrot
% chromatic has joined #parrotsketch
<jhorwitz> i'm *almost* able to write mod_perl6 in pure perl6.  just need namespaces.
<jhorwitz> wrote a tiny patch to fix the copy opcode compilation problems on debian's broken gcc.
<particle> that'd be a nice christmast present....
<jhorwitz> EOR
<jonathan> Found brain cycles, time and energy to hack on Parrot again...
<jonathan> * Been working on the release today. 3 RC's and some fixes later, I'm happy enough with it to release it. A few unexpected successes, but I'd rather leave it that way than untodo them when I don't know what platforms they are going to fail on.
<jonathan> * Started trying to figure out the Perl 6 compiler. In the process, implemented 'rand', postcircumfix ( ) and { } (so hash access works now), being able to say things like &foo.arity(), and the first little bits of junctions (parsing, creating, .pick, .values).
<jonathan> * Having fun, hoping real life stays out of the way for a while.
<jonathan> EOR
<particle> ~ punie: added subcalls, argument passing, got demo.p1 working for perl's bday and parrot's release
<particle> perl6:
<particle> ~ applied some perl6 patches by perljam++ and fglock++ -- it's fabulous to see the ranks of perl6 developers grow so quickly
<particle> ~ added for statements, pointy subs, use (somewhat faked), pod comments
<particle> .end
<Coke> all shiny. =-)
<Coke> chromatic?
<chromatic> I added the copy opcode and decided I hate Debian's GCC.
<chromatic> I fixed up all of the failing tests I could find, and there were a lot of them in the benchmark examples.
<chromatic> I did some minor cleanups, too.
<chromatic> That's all.
<Coke> rdice?
<rdice> I'm not here. :-)
<rdice> EOR
<rdice> (tied up in a real life meeting right now)
<Coke> anyone who is NOT patrick have a report?
<pmichaud> my report is ready
<Coke> oh, alright. =-)
<pmichaud> * Helped with punie development.
<pmichaud> * Refactored PCT::HLLCompiler to have a saner set of stages, removed $ostgrammar.
<pmichaud> * Fixed up PAST::Val nodes so that HLLs can more readily how to specify constants in PIR.
<pmichaud> * Fixed up :slurpy attribute on PAST::Var parameters.
<pmichaud> * Added a <?ww> token to PCT::Grammar.
<pmichaud> * Fixed up infix:<eq> and infix:<ne> to not rely on cmp_str.
<pmichaud> * Helped a bit with release.
<pmichaud> perl6:
<pmichaud> * All 01-sanity tests pass!  (particle++)
<pmichaud> * Added object infrastructure to perl6 so that .WHAT, types, protoobjects, and .HOW work.
<pmichaud> * Got multisubs working again.
<pmichaud> * Got END blocks working, and prototyped BEGIN blocks.
<pmichaud> * Got regexes working again.
<pmichaud> * Worked around the :method-not-in-namespace issue from PGE regexes.
<pmichaud> EOR
<Coke> This seems like a particularly busy week for everyone; I hope we can keep up this pace for a while. =-)
<Coke> Anyone have any questions, as long as we're all here?
<chromatic> When can we start deleting deprecated features?
<allison> right after JW ships the release
<Coke> when the release listed in DEPRECATED.pod is cut.
<Coke> so, make sure it says 0.5.1 (or 0.5.0) and then start ripping. Please claim the RT ticket if you are working on one of them, though.
<particle> btw, perl 5.10.0 is out today
<chromatic> It was an oblique question about "When's the release, Jonathan?"
<jonathan> The .tar.gz is all ready, just gotta hit pause with it. :-)
<jonathan> Then press releases, blah.
<Coke> no, hit PLAY!
* particle *groans*
* jonathan hits Coke instead
<Coke> if the .tgz is ready and we're sure of no more updates, I don't see a problem with breaking trunk -now-.
<allison> (it's nice that the press releases are so automated)
% fglock_ has joined #parrotsketch
<Coke> reminder: allison & chromatic have rights to update the website; send any update patches or requests to *OUR* ticket tracker, not webmaster@perl.org
<chromatic> allison & chromatic & Coke have rights to update the website, you slacker.
<particle> :)
<Coke> (the 0.5.0 release ended up getting announced that day, and then 2 weeks later, updated again by Robrt based on the ticket.)
<Coke> pmichaud: Any questions? I can usually count on you for something for perl6... =-)
<pmichaud> no questions from me today -- my plate runneth over
<pmichaud> lots of great commits from jonathan, fglock, particle, etc.
<Coke> woot.
<pmichaud> others are welcome to join the patch party
<particle> and perljam, too
<pmichaud> right, and perljam
<particle> i'll be showing off punie/nqp/pct and maybe perl6 tonight at seattle.pm
<pmichaud> I need to start playing with the copy opcode
<pmichaud> (chromatic++ for that)
<jhorwitz> particle: if you want mod_perl6 URLs to show off, let me know
<pmichaud> and then it's time to dive back into the pugs test suite
<Coke> jhorwitz++ for making it compile. =-)
<particle> jhorwitz: that'd be spiffy
<pmichaud> I'll be writing another journal post today, apologies in advance if I miss anyone in terms of great work done sincem y last post.  There has been *so much* progress this past week
<Coke> might be nice to forward those to Andy at perlbuzz too, if you can handle the buzz effect.
<Coke> Alrightee, unless anyone has anything else, I'm calling it. =-)
<particle> so, with all the pending changes, does anybody expect toe-stepping, or can we all modify parrot in harmony?
<particle> oh, and when's the next meeting?
<Coke> whoops! good catch. =-)
<allison> ah, we should skip christmas
<Coke> I vote we skip a week.
<Coke> we always have #parrot and the mailing list.
<allison> I'm good with meeting on new years day
<particle> so, we'll meet 1 jan
<jonathan> I'll be at a hackathon that day anyway. :-)
<pmichaud> I'll likely be away 1 jan, but you all can meet w/o me.  I'll post my updates to journal/mailing list
<particle> i'll let you know if i'll be around
<Coke> works for me. I'll send out an announcement unless someone beats me to it.
<particle> kthx
<jonathan> OK, release tagged, hit the trunk, folks.
<pmichaud> jonathan++
* spinclad goes off to play with the new <?wrongwindow> token.
<Coke> jonathan++ # Thanks again for taking the release today!
<jonathan> Welcome.
<spinclad> jonathan++
<Coke> See you all in two weeks.
<particle> merry christmas!
<spinclad> good yule y'all!
<pmichaud> happy holidays, all
<pmichaud> happy birthday, Perl
<allison> and to all a good night!
