Parrot 7.1.0 "Lilian's Lovebird" released

"Recently, cases of Lilian's lovebird poisoning have intensified although it is not known why poachers are poisoning the birds. Lilian's lovebird researchers assume poachers mean to poison larger mammals and lovebirds fall victims." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilian%27s_lovebird#Threats

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 7.1.0, also known as "Lilian's Lovebird". Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages.

Parrot 7.1.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site, or by following the download instructions. For those who want to hack on Parrot or languages that run on top of Parrot, we recommend our organization page on GitHub, or you can go directly to the official Parrot Git repo on Github
