ParaSail source release 6.5 now available.

We have just made a release of the ParaSail interpreter, VM, and compiler.  This is version 6.5, and is mostly a bug-fix release relative to 6.3.  We are working on a static analyzer and optimizer for ParaSail, and this release contains prototypes for both of those (ParaScope, and a combination of ParaScope and the compiler).  The static analyzer can be invoked using "bin/scope.csh file1.psl file2.psl ...".  The optimizer is not quite ready for prime time at this point, but feel free to investigate lib/vn_il.ps? to see how the compiler and static analyzer are being integrated to provide LLVM optimization.  As before, the source release is available at:
