Rakudo is an implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine (see &lt;http://www.parrot.org&gt;). The tarball for this release is available from &lt;http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/downloads&gt;. 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 &lt;http://github.com/rakudo/star/downloads&gt;. The Rakudo Perl compiler follows a monthly release cycle, with each release named after a Perl Mongers group. The May 2012 release is code named after MadMongers. This release includes a whole lot of changes since the last one, including: * -I and -M command-line options * support for non-Int enums * 'use' now accepts positional arguments and is able to import by tag name * 'import' now works * basic support for Versi</pre> Tadeusz Sośnierz 2012-05-17T17:59:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl6.compiler/7511 <pre>If it is, I'll submit bug details. </pre> Parrot Raiser 2012-05-11T18:32:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl6.compiler/7480 <pre> Announce: Niecza Perl 6 v17 This is the seventeenth release of Niecza Perl 6, as usual scheduled on the last Monday of the month. You can obtain a build of Niecza from [1]. This build contains a working compiler as a set of .exe and .dll files suitable for use with Mono or Microsoft .NET. If you wish to follow latest developments, you can obtain the source from [2]; however, you still need a binary for bootstrapping. Niecza is a Perl 6 compiler project studying questions about the efficient implementability of Perl 6 features. It currently targets the Common Language Runtime; both Mono and Microsoft .NET are known to work. On Windows, Cygwin is required for source builds only; see the README for details. List of changes [Minor changes] The .Str methods of Set, KeySet, Bag, and KeyBag now just list the elements (Solomon Foster). Out-of-range digits in a radix conversion now warn appropriately (Solomon Foster). The [Z] operator now doesn't hang on empty inputs (Stefan O'Rear).
