Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler development release #34 ("Paris") | ||
|
||
On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm happy to announce the | ||
October 2010 release of Rakudo Perl #34 "Paris". Rakudo is an | ||
implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine (see | ||
<http://www.parrot.org>). The tarball for the October 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 October 2010 release is code named | ||
"Paris", because the of the Perl love at the Open Source Developers Conference | ||
held in Paris, France earlier in the month. | ||
|
||
Some of the specific changes and improvements occurring with this | ||
release include: | ||
|
||
* we now have a simple version of require | ||
|
||
* the local timezone is available in $*TZ | ||
|
||
* samespace versions of m// and s/// were implemented as ms// and ss/// respectively. | ||
|
||
* Str.flip is now 100 times faster than it used to be | ||
|
||
* the subroutine version of Str.comb now exists | ||
|
||
* Hyperoperators can now be applied to infix:<+=> and friends. | ||
|
||
* improved diagnostic messages | ||
|
||
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: | ||
|
||
Moritz Lenz, Kodi Arfer, Patrick R. Michaud, Bruce Gray, | ||
Carl Masak, Ronald Schmidt, Jonathan Worthington, TimToady, | ||
TimTom, PhatEddy, Patrick Abi Salloum, and your humble release | ||
manager Jonathan Scott Duff. | ||
|
||
If you would like to contribute, see <http://rakudo.org/how-to-help>, ask on | ||
the perl6-compiler@perl.org mailing list, or ask on IRC #perl6 on freenode. | ||
|
||
The next release of Rakudo (#35) is scheduled for November 18, 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! |
