Only the second +release this year, compared to the usual four releases per year, but it beats +having only a single one. + +Many systems received a couple slight tweaks in order to keep them working for +newer releases. Some of these received them only to make them easier to +understand for me. After a lot of hard work, and with help from people all +around the community, this release was made possible. + +A big thanks to everyone involved! + +## Changes + +- The build system itself received some rigorous changes. All work is now done + in the `work` subdirectory, instead of in the root directory. A number of + scripts were altered to output some more information as well, which is mostly + intended to help Rakudo Star maintainers figure out issues. + +- Perl 6 is being renamed to Raku, and this is the first Rakudo Star release + containing `raku` as executable. It's just a symbolic link to `rakudo` right + now, but it allows you to run programs usin `raku`. + +### Ecosystem Modules + +- `Linenoise` has been dropped in favour of `Readline`. This also got + `LibraryCheck` included, as this is a dependency for `Readline`. + +## Downloads + +- [Rakudo Star 2019.11](https://dist.tyil.nl/raku/rakudo-star/rakudo-star-2019.11.tar.gz) +- [Rakudo Star 2019.11 checksums](https://dist.tyil.nl/raku/rakudo-star/rakudo-star-2019.11.tar.gz.checksums.txt) +- [Rakudo Star 2019.11 PGP signature](https://dist.tyil.nl/raku/rakudo-star/rakudo-star-2019.11.tar.gz.asc) +- [PGP key (0x7A6AC285E2D98827)](https://www.tyil.nl/pubkey.txt) |
