Re: release?
My understanding is that the happy and long-awaited release announcement was done on Christmas out of tradition of announcing Perl releases on Christmas, that it means that the specification of the language is now declared as (fairly) stable, but the implementation is a different matter. In practical terms, the Rakudo implementation works for me - http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/ I use the "rakudobrew" installation tool (on Fedora). Easier-to-install installation packages for various operating systems will probably come in the future. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Re: release?
Rakudo, as far as I know, passes all of the 6.c tests :). But that might mean that we need more tests! On Dec 28, 2015 04:37, "Amir E.

Re: release?
There isn't a 6.0.0 as such. Perl 6's language specification, versioned 6.c (aka Christmas) was released; at the same time, the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, version 2015.12 was released, which is the most up to date implementation of this specification. The specification is intended to have only minor changes in 6.c going forward; the next version (6.d, no specific release date planned) will likely have more involved changes. In the meantime, an implementation that supports 6.c is free to change internals or parts of the language that were not explicitly part of the 6.c specification. Future versions of the compiler may have support for multiple versions of the specification that can be handled with a lexical "use v6.c" to get old behavior once the spec changes. Finally, Rakudo * is a distribution that includes the compiler and multiple modules; Look for this bundled release of the 2015.12 Rakudo in the next few days.
