The tarball for the June 2010 release +is available from . + +Rakudo Perl follows a monthly release cycle, with each release named +after a Perl Mongers group. This release is named after the the Perl Mongers +from the beautiful Ukrainian capital, Kiev. They recently helped organize and +participated in the Perl Mova + YAPC::Russia conference, the хакмит (hackathon) +of which was a particular success for Rakudo. All those who joined the Rakudo +hacking - from Kiev and further afield - contributed spec tests as well as +patches to Rakudo, allowing various RT tickets to be closed, and making this +month's release better. Дякую! + +Some of the specific changes and improvements occurring with this +release include: + +* The list semantics received a complete overhaul. Rakudo now uses immutable + iterators, and many things that should be truly lazily evaluated, now are. + +* Regexes can now interpolate variables. + +* The REPL shell now prints results, even when not explicitly asked to print + them, thus respecting the "P" part of "REPL". + +* Rakudo now passes 33,280 spectests. We estimate that there are about + 39,900 tests in the test suite, so Rakudo passes about 83% of all tests. + +For a more detailed list of changes see "docs/ChangeLog". + +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. + +The following people contributed to this release: +Patrick R. Michaud, Moritz Lenz, Jonathan Worthington, Solomon Foster, +Patrick Abi Salloum, Carl Mäsak, Martin Berends, Will "Coke" Coleda, +Vyacheslav Matjukhin, snarkyboojum, sorear, smashz, Jimmy Zhuo, +Jonathan "Duke" Leto, Maxim Yemelyanov, Stéphane Payrard, Gerd Pokorra, +cognominal, Bruce Keeler, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, Shrivatsan, Hongwen Qiu, +quester, Alexey Grebenschikov, Timothy Totten + +If you would like to contribute, see , ask on +the perl6-compiler@perl.org mailing list, or ask on IRC #perl6 on freenode. + +The next release of Rakudo (#31) is scheduled for July 17, 2010. +A list of the other planned release dates and code names for 2010 is +available in the "docs/release_guide.pod" file. In general, Rakudo +development releases are scheduled to occur two days after each +Parrot monthly release. Parrot releases the third Tuesday of each month. + +Have fun!
