-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 2011 release of "Rakudo Star", a useful and usable
-distribution of Perl 6.  The tarball for the April 2011 release is
-available from <http://github.com/rakudo/star/downloads>.
-
-Rakudo Star is aimed at "early adopters" of Perl 6.  We know that
-it still has some bugs, it is far slower than it ought to be, and
-there are some advanced pieces of the Perl 6 language specification
-that aren't implemented yet.  But Rakudo Perl 6 in its current form
-is also proving to be viable (and fun) for developing applications
-and exploring a great new language.  These "Star" releases are
-intended to make Perl 6 more widely available to programmers, grow
-the Perl 6 codebase, and gain additional end-user feedback about the
-Perl 6 language and Rakudo's implementation of it.
-
-In the Perl 6 world, we make a distinction between the language 
-("Perl 6") and specific implementations of the language such as
-"Rakudo Perl".  The April 2011 Star release includes release #40
-of the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler [1], version 3.3.0 of the Parrot 
-Virtual Machine [2], and various modules, documentation,
-and other resources collected from the Perl 6 community.
-
-This release of Rakudo Star adds the following features over the
-previous Star release:
-  * Modules MiniDBI, form, HTTP::Daemon, Yaml and Module::Tools are
-    removed in this release. 
-  * New modules Pies (including panda, the module installer) and 
-    HTTP::Server::Simple have been added.
-  * New implementation of IO::Socket::INET, with basic IPv6 support
-  * -p and -n command-line options are now available
-  * Many new IO improvements, including stat-related methods
-  * New --ll-backtrace command-line switch for printing PIR level stack traces
-  * Preliminary implementation of Infix 'orelse'
-  * Added Str.indent
-  * Bugfixes to negation meta operator
-  * Support for complex conjugation
-    
-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:
-  * nested package definitions
-  * binary objects, native types, pack and unpack
-  * typed arrays
-  * macros
-  * state variables
-  * threads and concurrency
-  * Unicode strings at levels other than codepoints
-  * pre and post constraints, and some other phasers
-  * interactive readline that understands Unicode
-  * backslash escapes in regex <[...]> character classes
-  * non-blocking I/O
-  * most of Synopsis 9
-  * perl6doc or pod manipulation tools
-
-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.
-
-Rakudo Star releases are created on a three-month cycle, or as 
-needed in response to important bug fixes or improvements.  
-(The Rakudo compiler will continue with monthly releases.)  
-The next planned release of Rakudo Star will be in July 2011.
