> On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm happy to announce the
> October 2010 release of Rakudo Perl #34 "Paris".  Rakudo is an
> implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine (see
> <http://www.parrot.org>). The tarball for the October 2010 release
> is available from <http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/downloads>.
> 
> Please note: This announcement is not for the Rakudo Star distribution --
> it's announcing a new release of the compiler only.  For the latest
> Rakudo Star release, see <http://github.com/rakudo/star/downloads>.
> 
> The Rakudo Perl compiler follows a monthly release cycle, with each release
> named after a Perl Mongers group. The October 2010 release is code named
> "Paris", because the of the Perl love at the Open Source Developers
> Conference
> held in Paris, France earlier in the month.
> 
> Some of the specific changes and improvements occurring with this
> release include:
> 
> * we now have a simple version of require
> 
> * the local timezone is available in $*TZ
> 
> * samespace versions of m// and s/// were implemented as ms// and ss///
> respectively.
> 
> * Str.flip is now 100 times faster than it used to be
> 
> * the subroutine version of Str.comb now exists
> 
> * Hyperoperators can now be applied to infix:<+=> and friends.
> 
> * improved diagnostic messages
> 
> For a more detailed list of changes see "docs/ChangeLog".
