-Announce: Rakudo Star - 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 2012 release of "Rakudo Star", a useful and
-usable distribution of Perl 6.  The tarball for the April 2012
-release is available from <http://github.com/rakudo/star/downloads>.
-
-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 2012.04.1 [0] of the
-Rakudo Perl 6 compiler [1], version 4.3 of the Parrot Virtual
-Machine [2], and various modules, documentation, and other
-resources collected from the Perl 6 community.
-
-Here are some of the major improvements in this release over the
-previous distribution release.
-
-* much improved startup time
-
-* much more robust module precompilation
-
-* autovivification for arrays and hashes is implemented again
-
-* many phasers like PRE, POST and REDO are now implemented
-
-* improved support for calling C functions and modelling structs and arrays
-  via NativeCall.pm6
-
-* now includes modules URI, LWP::Simple, jsonrpc and Bailador (a Perl 6 port
-  of Dancer)
-
-This release also contains a range of bug fixes, improvements to error
-reporting and better failure modes. Many more exceptions are thrown
-as typed exceptions.
-
-Some notable incompatible changes from the previous release include
-
- * the 'lib' directory is not included in the default module search path
-   anymore.  You can manipulate the search path with the PERL6LIB environment
-   variable
-
- * 'defined' used to be a prefix operator, and is now a regular subroutine.
-   This means you must updated code that relies 'defined' taking only one
-   argument. For example 'defined $x ?? $a !! $b' should be written as
-   '$x.defined ?? $a !! $b' or 'defined($x) ?? $a !! $b'.
-  
-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:
-  * pack and unpack
-  * macros
-  * threads and concurrency
-  * Unicode strings at levels other than codepoints
-  * interactive readline that understands Unicode
-  * non-blocking I/O
-  * much of Synopsis 9
-
-There is a new online resource at http://perl6.org/compilers/features 
-that lists the known implemented and missing features of Rakudo Star
-2012.04 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.
-An updated 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.
