Please see http://pugs.blogs.com/pugs/2006/02/changes_for_pug.html for the full change log.  Here are some highlights:



  • Lexical imports and rich module interface information in %*INC


  • YAML serialization support for data structure, parse tree and ASTs


  • Improved embedding and PIR generation for Parrot 0.4.1+


  • Using Perl 5 modules with JavaScript backend, via "pugs -B JS-Perl5"


  • PIL^N backend prototype with Class, Roles and Container objects


  • A prototype implementation of 6PAN module management system


I'm very grateful to the lambdacamels for carrying Pugs forward in the past three months, which has been a difficult period of transition for me.



Now that I'm back to reality under a new-yet-original identity, I look forward to meet fellow Pugs hackers again at the upcoming hackathons: Israel, Germany, Austria, Japan, Taiwan, and undoubtedly many other places.



It has been a wonderful year.  Many happy returns!
