Coconut

[Albatross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albatross_%28Monty_Python_sketch%29) is the first production release (v1.0.0) of the Coconut programming language. No new features have been added since Pinnate (v0.4.1), although there have been major stability improvements. For documentation, see our new website at http://coconut-lang.org.

Pinnate (v0.4.1) is the first candidate release for v1.0.0. The language has become relatively stable and is unlikely to change much until a release is selected for v1.0.0.

Massive changes have been made to Coconut since Odisha (v0.3.6). If you've been following Coconut development, you should read the new [tutorial](http://coconut.readthedocs.org/en/master/HELP.html) and go over the new [documentation](http://coconut.readthedocs.org/en/master/DOCS.html) to familiarize yourself with all the changes.
