# Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, Development Release #89 ("Salt Lake") | ||
|
||
On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm happy to announce the June | ||
2015 release of Rakudo Perl 6 #89 "Salt Lake". Rakudo is an implementation of | ||
Perl 6 on the Moar Virtual Machine[^1] and the Java Virtual Machine. The | ||
tarball for this release is available from <http://rakudo.org/downloads/rakudo/>. | ||
|
||
Please note: This announcement is not for the Rakudo Star | ||
distribution[^2] --- it's announcing a new release of the compiler | ||
only. For the latest Rakudo Star release, see | ||
<http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/>. | ||
|
||
The Rakudo Perl compiler follows a monthly release cycle, with each | ||
release named after a Perl Mongers group. This month's release is named after | ||
Salt Lake City, where this year's YAPC::NA happened. | ||
|
||
Some of the changes in this release are outlined below: | ||
|
||
{{HERE}} | ||
|
||
These are only some of the changes in this release. For a more | ||
detailed list, 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, MoarVM and the specification. | ||
|
||
The following people contributed to this release: | ||

||

|
||
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 (#90), is scheduled for 23 July 2015. | ||
A list of the other planned release dates and code names for future | ||
releases is available in the "docs/release_guide.pod" file. A Rakudo | ||
development release typically occurs a few days (often two) after the | ||
third Tuesday of each month. | ||
|
||
The development team appreciates feedback! If you're using Rakudo, do | ||
get back to us. Questions, comments, suggestions for improvements, cool | ||
discoveries, incredible hacks, or any other feedback -- get in touch with | ||
us through (the above-mentioned) mailing list or IRC channel. Enjoy! | ||

|
||
[^2]: What's the difference between the Rakudo compiler and the Rakudo | ||
Star distribution? | ||
|
||
The Rakudo compiler is a compiler for the Perl 6 language. | ||
Not much more. | ||
|
||
The Rakudo Star distribution is the Rakudo compiler plus a selection | ||
of useful Perl 6 modules, a module installer, the most recent | ||
incarnation of the "Using Perl 6" book, and other software that can | ||
be used with the Rakudo compiler to enhance its utility. Rakudo Star | ||
is meant for early adopters who wish to explore what's possible with | ||
Rakudo Perl 6 and provide feedback on what works, what doesn't, and | ||
what else they would like to see included in the distribution. |
