 shortly after the tarball release.
 
 In the Perl 6 world, we make a distinction between the language
 ("Perl 6") and specific implementations of the language such as
-"Rakudo Perl".  This Star release includes [release 2013.04] of the
-[Rakudo Perl 6 compiler], version 5.3.0 of the [Parrot Virtual
+"Rakudo Perl".  This Star release includes [release 2013.05] of the
+[Rakudo Perl 6 compiler], version 5.2.0 of the [Parrot Virtual
 Machine], plus various modules, documentation, and other resources
 collected from the Perl 6 community.

 Some of the new features added to this release include:
 
+* The ?-quantifier on regex captures now returns a single Match object 
+  (formerly returned an array).  Use `** 0..1` to get the old behavior.
+* Failed matches return Nil instead of a false Match object.
 * Rakudo warns when pure expressions are used in sink context
 * .substr(...) now correctly accepts whatever-star closures
 * Implemented shellwords postcircumfix (%h<< $x 'foo bar' >>)

-  * The ?-quantifier on captures in regexes currently binds the
-    capture slot to a List containing either zero or one Match
