+The below things should be fairly straightforward to implement. Just look in
+the commit logs at how similar features were implemented.
+
+* 'unless' and 'until' keywords.
+* 'loop' keyword. (at least the infinitely looping version is easy.)
+* 'repeat' keyword.
+* 'ENTER', 'LEAVE', 'FIRST', 'NEXT', and 'LAST' phasers.
+
+All contributions are welcome; especially those with good test coverage and a

+It is with an unwarranted sense of contentment that I want to announce, on
+behalf of the Yapsi development team, the July 2010 release of Yapsi, a
+Perl 6 compiler written in Perl 6.
+
+You can get it here -- try it, it's fresh!
+
+ <http://github.com/downloads/masak/yapsi/yapsi-2010.07.tar.gz>
+
+Yapsi is implemented in Perl 6. It thus requires a Perl 6 implementation to
+build and run. We recommend the 'alpha' branch of Rakudo for this purpose.
+In practice, this means downloading Rakudo Minneapolis (#25) from January
+2010.
+
+Yapsi is an "official and complete" implementation of Perl 6. The fact that
+it's complete follows from a simple mis-applied proof technique: adding to
+something complete, one certainly doesn't make it less complete. We are making
+plenty of additions to Yapsi. Hence, Yapsi is complete; QED. It's official
+because there's no official definition of "official".
+
+Here's how to get Yapsi up and running, once you have it:
+
+* Make sure you have a built Rakudo alpha in your $PATH as 'alpha'.
+* (Optionally) run 'make' for a load-time speedup.
+
+This month's release introduces 'if'/'else' statements and 'while' loops.
+Having Yapsi run all day on your computer just got a little easier. You're
+welcome.
+
+Quite a lot of features are now within reach of people who are interested in
+hacking on Yapsi. See the docs/LOLHALP file for a list of 'em.
+
+Yapsi consists of a compiler and a runtime. The program is compiled down into
+an instruction code that is "closer to the machine", for some imaginary value
+of "machine". Compiling down to an instruction code is not strictly necessary;
+if we wanted, we could compile down to tiny pecan pies. (But that would be
+NUTS! What we do instead is just plain SIC.) The instruction set changes quite
+a bit between releases; if you rely on SIC being stable between releases, you
+are completely bananas.
+
+An overarching goal for making a Perl 6 compiler-and-runtime is to use it as
+a server for various other projects, which will hook in at different steps:
+
+* A time-traveling debugger (tardis), which hooks into the runtime.
+* A coverage tool (lid), which will also hook into the runtime.
+* A syntax checker (sigmund), which will use output from the parser.
+
+Another overarching goal is to optimize for fun while learning about parsers,
+compilers, and runtimes. We wish you the appropriate amount of fun!
