-# Announce: Rakudo Star Release 2014.04
-
-## A useful, usable, "early adopter" distribution of Perl 6
-
-On behalf of the Rakudo and Perl 6 development teams, I'm happy to
-announce the April 2014 release of "Rakudo Star", a useful and usable
-distribution of Perl 6. The tarball for the April 2014 release is
-available from <http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/>. A Windows .MSI
-version of Rakudo star will usually appear in the downloads area
-shortly after the tarball release.
-
-This is the first Rakudo Star release with support for the MoarVM
-backend (all module tests pass on supported platforms) along with
-experimental support for the JVM backend (some module tests fail).
-
-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 2014.04] of the
-[Rakudo Perl 6 compiler], version 6.1.0 of the [Parrot Virtual
-Machine], version 2014.04 of [MoarVM], plus various modules,
-documentation, and other resources collected from the Perl 6
-community.
-
-[release 2014.04]:
-    https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/docs/announce/2014.04.md
-[Rakudo Perl 6 compiler]: http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo
-[Parrot Virtual Machine]: http://parrot.org
-[MoarVM]: http://moarvm.org/
-
-Some of the new features added to this release include:
-
-* experimental support for the JVM and MoarVM backends
-* NativeCall passes all its tests on all backends
-* S17 (concurrency) now in MoarVM (except timing related features)
-* winner { more @channels { ... } } now works
-* implemented univals(), .unival and .univals (on MoarVM)
-* added .minpairs/.maxpairs on (Set|Bag|Mix)Hash
-* Naive implementation of "is cached" trait on Routines
-
-There are some key features of Perl 6 that Rakudo Star does not yet
-handle appropriately, although they will appear in upcoming releases.
-Some of the not-quite-there features include:
-
-  * advanced macros
-  * threads and concurrency (in work for the JVM and MoarVM backend)
-  * Unicode strings at levels other than codepoints
-  * interactive readline that understands Unicode
-  * non-blocking I/O
-  * much of Synopsis 9 and 11
-
-There is an online resource at <http://perl6.org/compilers/features>
-that lists the known implemented and missing features of Rakudo and
-other Perl 6 implementations.
-
-In many places we've tried to make Rakudo smart enough to inform the
-programmer that a given feature isn't implemented, but there are many
-that we've missed. Bug reports about missing and broken features are
-welcomed at <rakudobug@perl.org>.
-
-See <http://perl6.org/> for links to much more information about
-Perl 6, including documentation, example code, tutorials, reference
-materials, specification documents, and other supporting resources. A
-draft of a Perl 6 book is available as docs/UsingPerl6-draft.pdf in
-the release tarball.
-
-The development team thanks all of the contributors and sponsors for
-making Rakudo Star possible. If you would like to contribute, see
-<http://rakudo.org/how-to-help>, ask on the <perl6-compiler@perl.org>
-mailing list, or join us on IRC \#perl6 on freenode.
