History
Parchment was originally a Z-machine-only web interpreter, created in 2008 by Atul Varma by reviving Gnusto. Dannii Willis became heavily involved shortly afterward.
The IFComp 2009 site promoted Parchment to play some entries online. (This functionality was integrated into the IFComp site itself as of IFComp 2010.)
In June 2010 (build 6E59), Inform 7 integrated Parchment with its ability to "release along with an interpreter", allowing Inform-7-authored games to easily be published on the web.
In March 2011, Parchment became a multi-format interpreter with the integration of Quixe, and got a new home at iplayif.com.
In January 2025 Parchment switched to using RemGlk-rs, adding sound support, and switched its Glulx and Z-Code interpreters to Glulxe and Bocfel, rather than Quixe and ZVM.
