+# Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, Release #124 (2018.06)
+
+On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I’m very happy to announce the
+June 2018 release of Rakudo Perl 6 #124. 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:

+
+[^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.
