<releaseNotes>Some of the new compiler features added to this release include:

- $str ~~ s/// now returns a Match or list of Matches (incompatible change)
- Supply.lines/words and IO::Handle.words implemented
- indir for scoped directory manipulations
- Various performance improvements

- Introduce IO::Handle.slurp-rest for slurping rest from the handle
- Fix tie-breaking issues with longest literal matching
- Method FALLBACK implemented
- $\*DISTRO and $\*KERNEL updated ($*DISTRO now actually report the Linux dist)
- Added Metamodel::Primitives, to open up more meta-programming possibilities
(publishing method caches, completely custom meta-objects, etc.)

- [Bailador](https://github.com/tadzik/Bailador) now binds to all interfaces by default.

- panda now displays help with correct command descriptions when using `--help`.
- panda has a `smoke` option to download and test all Perl 6 modules.
- panda can now use `look` option in order to download modules without doing anything else.
- [HTTP::Easy](https://github.com/supernovus/perl6-http-easy) has received a few algorithm optimizations that made it faster.
- HTTP::Easy now binds to all interfaces by default when acting as a web server.
- [ufo](https://github.com/masak/ufo) now leaves `.pm` and `.pm6` in module names.
