Message-ID: <4ADF6D2A.9080603@rubiconproject.com> Congrats Aran, Shawn and Todd! Exciting news. Jon has decided to name the October Rakudo release after the TO group, due to the excitement and buzz from our perl6 hackathon. Thanks for inviting me to the perl6 hackathon, that was loads of fun. Crazy to remember a time when I could spend 8 hours on a Saturday doing fun hacking and not working... Looking forward to doing it again, maybe hosting down here in Santa Monica (but it's hard to hack when the beach is right there, just calling). Maybe this time I'll even write some perl6. (though pir was fun too). Andrew -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

Rakudo is an implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine (see http://www.parrot.org). The tarball for the October 2009 release is available from 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 recommend building Rakudo from the latest source, available from the main repository at github. More details are available at http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo. Rakudo Perl follows a monthly release cycle, with each release code named after a Perl Mongers group. The October 2009 is code named "Thousand Oaks" for their amazing Perl 6 hackathon, their report at http://www.lowlevelmanager.com/2009/09/perl-6-hackathon.html, and just because I like the name :-) Since the 2009-08 release, Rakudo Perl builds from an installed Parrot instead of using Parrot's build tree. This means that, unlike previous versions of Rakudo Perl, the "perl6" (or "perl6.exe") executables only work when invoked from the Rakudo root directory until a "make install" is performed. Running "make install" will install Rakudo and its libraries into the Parrot installation that was used to build it, and then the executables will work when invoked from any directory. This release of Rakudo requires Parrot 1.7.0. For the latest information on building and using Rakudo Perl, see the readme file section titled "Building and invoking Rakudo". (Quick note: the "--gen-parrot" option still automatically downloads and builds Parrot as before, if you prefer that approach.) Some of the specific changes and improvements occuring with this release include: * Rakudo is now passing 32,582 spectests, an increase of 17,085 passing tests since the September 2009 release. With this release Rakudo is now passing 85.0% of the available spectest suite. * We have a huge increase in the number of spectests relating to the Complex and Rat numeric types. * Complex numbers are now implemented as a Perl 6 class, and supports all trigonometric functions from the specification. * Rakudo has a new signature binder which makes calling routines and operators much faster, and allows binding of positional arguments by name. * Rakudo has improved signature introspection, better errors relating to signatures and signature literals are now supported. * Rakudo now supports accessing outer lexical variables from classes and packages. * Some new variants of the series operator are now implemented. * When configuring Rakudo with --gen-parrot, the --optimize flag is now passed to Parrot's Configure.pl The development team thanks all of our contributors and sponsors for making Rakudo Perl possible. If you would like to contribute, see http://rakudo.org/how-to-help , ask on the perl6-compiler at perl.org mailing list, or ask on IRC #perl6 on freenode. The next release of Rakudo (#23) is scheduled for November 19, 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! -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff perlpilot at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
