+# Announce: Rakudo Star Release 2019.11
+
+Just in time for the end of the year, Rakudo Star 2019.11. 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`.
