Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler development release #32 ("Pisa") | ||
|
||
On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm happy to announce the | ||
August 2010 release of Rakudo Perl #32 "Pisa". Rakudo is an | ||
implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine (see | ||
<http://www.parrot.org>). The tarball for the August 2010 release | ||
is available from <http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/downloads>. | ||
|
||
Please note: This announcement is not for the Rakudo Star distribution -- | ||
it's announcing a new release of the compiler only. For the latest | ||
Rakudo Star release, see <http://github.com/rakudo/star/downloads>. | ||
|
||
The Rakudo Perl compiler follows a monthly release cycle, with each release | ||
named after a Perl Mongers group. The August 2010 release is code named | ||
"Pisa" in recognition of Perl.it's excellent work in organizing | ||
YAPC::EU 2010, "The Renaissance of Perl" [1,2]. Many Rakudo | ||
developers presented at the conference, and it was an excellent | ||
location for hackathon and planning the next states of Rakudo | ||
development. | ||
|
||
Some of the specific changes and improvements occurring with this | ||
release include: | ||
|
||

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 next release of Rakudo (#33) is scheduled for September 23, 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. | ||
