+# Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, Release #127 (2018.10)
+
+On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I’m very happy to announce the
+October 2018 release of Rakudo Perl 6 #127. Rakudo is an implementation of
+Perl 6 on the Moar Virtual Machine[^1].
+
+This release implements the 6.c version of the Perl 6 specifications.
+It includes bugfixes and optimizations on top of
+the 2015.12 release of Rakudo.
+
+Upcoming releases in 2018 will include new functionality that is not
+part of the 6.c specification, available with a lexically scoped
+pragma. Our goal is to ensure that anything that is tested as part of the
+6.c specification will continue to work unchanged. There may be incremental
+spec releases this year as well.
+
+The tarball for this release is available from <https://rakudo.org/files/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
+<https://rakudo.org/files/star>.
+
+The changes in this release are outlined below:
+
+New in 2018.10:
+  + SPECIAL NOTES:
+    + This is the first Rakudo release that comes with an additional
+      JS backend. See `6pad` project for running Perl 6 code directly
+      in your browser.

+The next release of Rakudo (#128), is tentatively scheduled for 2018-11-17.
+
+A list of the other planned release dates is available in the

+
+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.

+
+[^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, Perl 6 introductory
+documentation, and other software that can be used with the Rakudo
+compiler to enhance its utility.
