 Some of the new compiler features since the last Rakudo Star release include:
 
   * Ability to use a customer debugger module
-  * The "is-approx" sub from Test.pm6 now allows for relative/absolute tolerance
+  * The "is-approx" sub from Test.pm6 now allows for relative/absolute
+    tolerance
   * A fail in a custom BUILD will now be returned, rather than thrown
   * Introduce .Map coercer
   * Implement alternate ways to call subtest
+  * Support for new leap-second at the end of 2016
+  * The "is required" trait on Attributes can now take a Bool or a Str
+  * IO::[Path,Handle] gained a .mode method which returns the POSIX file
+    permissions
+  * Distribution is now a role interface that enables encapsulating IO
+    used for distribution installation
+  * CompUnit::Repository::Installation now uses the new Distribution
+    interface
+  * Custom repository implementations now supported, including
+    precompilation
 
 Compiler maintenance since the last Rakudo Star release includes:
 
   * Basic object creation (using either .new or .bless) now up to 3x faster
   * All routines now have less overhead
-  * Sigificant optimizations for speed in many parts of the system (.map, gather/take etc.)
-  * Many precompilation fixes (including EVAL and improved support of OS packaging)
+  * The MMD cache accepts candidates with named parameters if it can.
+    (This made adverbed slices about 18x as fast)
+  * Sigificant optimizations for speed in many parts of the system (.map,
+    gather/take etc.)
+  * Many precompilation fixes (including EVAL and improved support of OS
+    packaging)
   * Arrays with holes (e.g. from :delete) now correctly iterate/auto-vivify
   * An issue with reverse dependencies of installed modules was fixed
   * "is_approx" sub (note underscore) from Test.pm6 deprecated
   * Harden Mu.Str against moving GC
   * Simplify $*USER/$*GROUP initialization
+  * Mu can now be the result of a Promise
+  * samewith() now also works on none-multi's
+  * Many fixes in the area of pre-compilation and installing modules
+  * count-only and bool-only now are optional methods in Iterators
+    (only to be implemented if they can work without generating anything)
+  * IO::ArgFiles.slurp / IO::ArgFiles.eof are fixed
+  * REPL whitespace and error handling
+  * CompUnit::Repository::Installation no longer considers `bin/xxx` and
+    `resources/bin/xxx` the same content address
+  * min/max on Failures throw instead of returning ±Inf
+  * NativeCall's is mangled trait no longer ignored for CPPStruct
+  * Many Str, List and Array methods much faster
+  * Map/Hash initializations are now 30% faster
