=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>
40-
L<pragma|https://docs.perl6.org/language/pragmas>. Also, many of the 6.d
41-
features were already implemented in 6.c compiler, due to the lack (at the
42-
time) of the infrastructure to support separate language versions. Thus, when
43-
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>
38+
looks to be an attractive date for a release codenamed C<Diwali>.
39+
40+
The vast majority of 6.d features are already implemented and available in
41+
in the Rakudo compiler, as they did not conflict with the 6.c specification.
42+
A smaller set of features and behaviours is available automatically if you
43+
use C<use v6.d.PREVIEW> pragma at the top of the file. The rest of about
44+
3100 new commits to the language specificication simply clarify previously
45+
undefined behaviour.
