+# Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, Development Release #65 ("Poznan")
+
+On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm proud to announce the
+June 2013 release of Rakudo Perl #65 "Poznan". Rakudo is an
+implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine (see
+<http://www.parrot.org>) and the Java Virtual Machine. The tarball for
+this release is available from <http://rakudo.org/downloads/rakudo/>.
+
+Please note: This announcement is not for the Rakudo Star
+distribution[^1] --- it's announcing a new release of the compiler
+only.  For the latest Rakudo Star release, see
+<http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/>.
+
+The Rakudo Perl compiler follows a monthly release cycle, with each
+release named after a Perl Mongers group. The June 2013 release is
+code-named after Poznan.pm, a mongers group that was founded after
+two Perl developers visiting this year's PLPW realized they lived in
+the same city.
+
+Some of the changes in this release are outlined below:
+
++ JVM backend added - passes initial sanity tests
++ type captures in signature binder implemented
++ IO::Handle methods gist, perl, path added
++ Int.msb and Int.lsb implemented
++ dir() is now lazy
++ $/ and $! now visible in eval/REPL
++ .{} adverb combinations all implemented
++ &first now returns Nil instead of failing
++ IO::Path.chmod implemented
++ Cool.path implemented
++ div and / fail with X::Numeric::DivisionByZero (rather than dying)
+
+This is only some of the changes in this release. For a more
+detailed list, see "docs/ChangeLog".
+
+The development team thanks all of our contributors and sponsors for
+making Rakudo Perl possible, as well as those people who worked on
+Parrot, the Perl 6 test suite and the specification.
+
+The following people contributed to this release:
+
+Jonathan Worthington, Elizabeth Mattijsen, Stefan O'Rear, Brent Laabs,
+Tobias Leich, Timo Paulssen, Patrick R. Michaud, Will "Coke" Coleda,
+Moritz Lenz, thundergnat, Carl Mäsak, dagurval, bbkr
+
+If you would like to contribute, see <http://rakudo.org/how-to-help>,
+ask on the <perl6-compiler@perl.org> mailing list, or ask on IRC
+\#perl6 on freenode.
+
+The next release of Rakudo (#66), is scheduled for July 18, 2013.
+A list of the other planned release dates and code names for future
+releases is available in the "docs/release_guide.pod" file. In
+general, Rakudo development releases are scheduled to occur soon after
+each Parrot monthly release.  Parrot releases the third Tuesday of
+each month.
+
+On behalf of the development team, I encourage you to try the new release,
+to live life to its fullest, to cherish each moment, and to have fun.
+
+
+[^1]: What's the difference between the Rakudo compiler and the Rakudo
+Star distribution?
+
+The Rakudo compiler is a compiler for the Perl 6 language.
+Nothing else.
+
+The Rakudo Star distribution is the Rakudo compiler plus a selection
+of useful Perl 6 modules, a module installer, the most recent
+incarnation of the "Using Perl 6" book, and other software that can
+be used with the Rakudo compiler to enhance its utility.  Rakudo Star
+is meant for early adopters who wish to explore what's possible with
+Rakudo Perl 6 and provide feedback on what works, what doesn't, and
+what else they would like to see included in the distribution.
