Upstream changes:
New in 3.1.0
- Core
  + Exception PMCs are now subclassable from PIR
  + IPv6 is now supported and tested
  + Added Parrot_ext_try function to extend API (experimental), to
    allow implementation of try .. catch construcs in C extensions.
  + We now have a YAML library called YAML::Tiny, a port of YAML::Tiny
    from Perl 5
  + Deprecated/experimental features are now stored in api.yaml in
    an easy-to-parse format, which will allow automated tools easy
    access to this data. This replaces DEPRECATED.pod, which no
    longer exists.
  + Improved GC latency
  + Improved GC performance on low-memory systems
  + Improved packfile annotation lookup complexity
  + Removal of unused code and SVN based code

    created at http://github.com/perl6/nqp
