| Rakudo Perl 6 development release #17                              |
|   posted by brian_d_foy on Thursday May 28, @18:12 (Perl 6)        |
|   http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/28/2252256              |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm pleased to announce the May
2009 development release of Rakudo Perl #17 "Stockholm". Rakudo is an
implementation of Perl 6 on the [0]Parrot Virtual Machine [1]. The
tarball for the May 2009 release is available from
[1]http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/downloads .

Due to the continued rapid pace of Rakudo development and the frequent
addition of new Perl 6 features and bugfixes, we continue to recommend
that people wanting to use or work with Rakudo obtain the latest source
directly from the main repository at github. More details are available
at [2]http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo .

Rakudo Perl follows a monthly release cycle, with each release code named
after a Perl Mongers group. This release is named "Stockholm"; Stockholm
Perl Mongers will be holding a [3]Perl 6 hackathon on May 29 [3]. Perl 6
developer Carl Mäsak is a member of Stockholm Perl Mongers and a main
author of [4]November [4], [5]Druid [5], [6]proto [6], and other Perl
6-based packages. Carl also contributes patches to Rakudo, and has been
stress-testing Rakudo over the past year, submitting nearly 400 bug
reports.

In this release of Rakudo Perl, we've made the following major changes
and improvements:

  * Rakudo is now passing 11,342 spectests, an increase of 875 passing
    tests since the April 2009 release. With this release Rakudo is now
    passing 68% of the available spectest suite.

  * We now have an updated docs/ROADMAP .

  * Errors and stack traces now report the file name and line number in
    the original source code.

  * Some custom operators can be defined, and it's possible to refer to
    operators using &infix:<op> syntax.

  * We can start to load libraries written in other Parrot languages.

  * Regexes now produce a Regex sub.

  * More builtin functions and methods have been rewritten in Perl 6 and
    placed as part of the setting.

  * There are many additional improvements and features in this release,
    see docs/ChangeLog for a more complete list.

The development team thanks all of our contributors and sponsors for
making Rakudo Perl possible. If you would like to contribute, see
[7]http://rakudo.org/how-to-help , ask on the [email protected]
mailing list, or ask on IRC #perl6 on freenode.

The next release of Rakudo (#18) is scheduled for June 18, 2009. A list
of the other planned release dates and codenames for 2009 is available in
the "docs/release_guide.pod" file. In general, Rakudo development
releases are scheduled to occur two days after each Parrot monthly
release. Parrot releases the third Tuesday of each month.

Have fun!
