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
releases. Rakudo 2019.07 (note: no .1) was discovered to have some
issues with the build system that affected packaging. Moreover, this
release comes with a corresponding MoarVM point release which has some
important stability and reliability fixes.

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] =E2=80=94 it=E2=80=99s announcing a new release of the c=
ompiler
only. For the latest Rakudo Star release, see
<https://rakudo.org/files/star>.

The changes in this release are outlined below:

New in 2019.07.1:
=C2=A0 + Build system:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 + Fixed issues when installing into `/usr` [f41db044]
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 + Fixed unnecessary use of `git` in release tarballs
[540926bf][e18b4f3b]
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 + Fixed intermittent failures in one of the performanc=
e tests [bd29d3f6]

The following people contributed to this release:

Patrick B=C3=B6ker, Aleks-Daniel Jakimenko-Aleksejev, Timo Paulssen,
Jonathan Worthington, Stefan Seifert, Samantha McVey

If you would like to contribute or find out more information, visit

<[email protected]> mailing list, or ask on IRC #perl6 on freenode.=


Additionally, we invite you to make a donation to The Perl Foundation
to sponsor Perl=C2=A06 development: <https://donate.perlfoundation.org/>
(put =E2=80=9CPerl=C2=A06 Core Development Fund=E2=80=9D in the =E2=80=98=
Purpose=E2=80=99 text field)

The next release of Rakudo (#132), is tentatively scheduled for 2019-09-2=
1.

A list of the other planned release dates is available in the
=E2=80=9Cdocs/release_guide.pod=E2=80=9D file.

discoveries, incredible hacks, or any other feedback =E2=80=93 get in tou=

We are working to get the JVM backend working again but do not yet have
an estimated delivery date.

[^2]: What=E2=80=99s the difference between the Rakudo compiler and the R=
akudo
Star distribution?

The Rakudo compiler is a compiler for the Perl=C2=A06 language.
Not much more.

The Rakudo Star distribution is the Rakudo compiler plus a selection
of useful Perl=C2=A06 modules, a module installer, Perl=C2=A06 introducto=
ry
documentation, and other software that can be used with the Rakudo
compiler to enhance its utility.
