# Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, Release 2018.02.1 | ||
|
||
On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm announcing an | ||
out-of-schedule release of the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler. | ||
Rakudo is an implementation of Perl 6 on the Moar Virtual Machine[^1]. | ||
|
||
This release is a point release in addition to the regular, monthly | ||
releases. Rakudo 2018.02 (note: no .1) was discovered to contain a bug | ||
which caused segfaults when using Whatever curries in topics of | ||
for/given statement modifiers. | ||
|
||
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 changes in this release are outlined below: | ||
|
||
New in 2018.02.1: | ||
+ Fixes: | ||
+ Fixed Whatever curry QAST::Block migration in stmt mods [5270471c] | ||
|
||
The following people contributed to this release: | ||
|
||
Zoffix Znet, Aleks-Daniel Jakimenko-Aleksejev | ||
|
||
If you would like to contribute or find out more information, visit | ||
<http://perl6.org>, <http://rakudo.org/how-to-help>, ask on the | ||
<perl6-compiler@perl.org> mailing list, or ask on IRC #perl6 on freenode. | ||
|
||
Additionally, we invite you to make a donation to The Perl Foundation | ||
to sponsor Perl 6 development: <https://donate.perlfoundation.org/> | ||
(put “Perl 6 Core Development Fund” in the ‘Purpose’ text field) | ||
|
||
The next release of Rakudo (#121), is tentatively scheduled for 2018-03-17. | ||
|
||
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. | ||

|
||
[^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. |
