 Some of the changes in this release are outlined below:
 
-…
++ We are now officially in beta!
++ There is now an infix:<.> operator that does method calls with slightly
+  looser precedence than the postfix unary method call.
++ New operator 'infix o' for function composition
++ 'fc' for Unicode-correct case folding implemented
++ grep now accepts :k, :v, :kv, :p attributes
++ 'Supply.throttle' for rate-limiting
++ Array.push is now used for pushing one element (mostly); Array.append
+  exists for pushing multiple values. Same for 'unshift'/'prepend'
++ Basic arithmetic operations ('+', '*', '-', '/') on Range objects
+  that shift or scale the end points while maintaining exclusions
++ The v notation now allows alphabetic components: v1.2.beta.  (Incompatible
+  because method calls on a version must be protected by \ or () now.)
++ 'use v6b+;' notation is now recognized and enforced
++ Many built-in methods that return iterables are now much faster
++ Better error messages when comparing version strings with numbers
++ Several error messages that were lacking line numbers now include them
 
 These are only some of the changes in this release. For a more
