+the Raku[^1] language.
+
+The source tarball for this release is available from
+<https://rakudo.org/files/rakudo>.
+Pre-compiled archives will be available shortly.

+
+This release implements 6.c and 6.d versions of the Raku specification.
+6.c version of the language is available if you use the `use v6.c`
+version pragma, otherwise 6.d is the default.
+
+Upcoming releases in 2023 will include new functionality that is not
+part of 6.c or 6.d specifications, available with a lexically scoped
+pragma. Our goal is to ensure that anything that is tested as part of
+6.c and 6.d specifications will continue to work unchanged. There may
+be incremental spec releases this year as well.
+
+If you would like to contribute or get more information, visit
+<https://raku.org>, <https://rakudo.org/community>, ask on the
+<perl6-compiler@perl.org> mailing list, or ask on IRC #raku on Libera.
+
+Additionally, we invite you to make a donation to The Perl Foundation
+to sponsor Raku development: <https://donate.perlfoundation.org/>
+(put “Raku Core Development Fund” in the ‘Purpose’ text field)
+
+The next release of Rakudo (#168), is tentatively scheduled for 2024-01-26.
+
+A list of the other planned release dates is available in the
+“docs/release_guide.pod” file.
+
+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!
+
+Please note that recent releases have known issues running on the JVM.
+We are working to get the JVM backend working again but do not yet have
+an estimated delivery date.
