=head2 When is v6.d going to be released?
Hopefully within a few months. Details at L<https://github.com/perl6/6.d-prep>
You can already use some of the new features by using C<use v6.d.PREVIEW>
L<pragma|https://docs.perl6.org/language/pragmas>. Also, many of the 6.d
features were already implemented in 6.c compiler, due to the lack (at the
time) of the infrastructure to support separate language versions. Thus, when
6.d is released, you may find you were already using many of the new features.
There is no planned date, although L<Diwali 2018|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali>
looks to be an attractive date for a release codenamed C<Diwali>.
The vast majority of 6.d features are already implemented and available in
in the Rakudo compiler, as they did not conflict with the 6.c specification.
A smaller set of features and behaviours is available automatically if you
use C<use v6.d.PREVIEW> pragma at the top of the file. The rest of about
3100 new commits to the language specificication simply clarify previously
undefined behaviour.
