* Enumeration objects now conform much closer to the current specification

* 'now' and 'time' are now terms (and not functions anymore). This means you
can now write 'time - 1' and do what you mean, but 'time()' does not work
anymore

For a more detailed list of changes see "docs/ChangeLog".


Deprecation notice:

* Currently True and False evaluate as '1' and '0' in string context.
The specification has changed, and in the next release they will
evaluate to 'Bool::True' and 'Bool::False' in string context.
To get the old behaviour, use ~+True or ~+False.


The development team thanks all of our contributors and sponsors for
making Rakudo Perl possible, as well as those people who worked on
Parrot, the Perl 6 test suite and the specification.
