This release implements 6.c and 6.d versions of the Raku specification.
6.c version of the language is available if you use the use v6.c
version pragma, otherwise 6.d is the default.
Upcoming releases in 2021 will include new functionality that is not
part of 6.c or 6.d specifications, available with a lexically scoped
pragma. Our goal is to ensure that anything that is tested as part of
6.c and 6.d specifications will continue to work unchanged. There may
be incremental spec releases this year as well.
If you would like to contribute or get more information, visit
https://raku.org, https://rakudo.org/community, ask on the
perl6-compiler@perl.org mailing list, or ask on IRC #raku on freenode.
Additionally, we invite you to make a donation to The Perl Foundation
to sponsor Raku development: https://donate.perlfoundation.org/
(put ?Raku Core Development Fund? in the ?Purpose? text field)
The next release of Rakudo (#147), is tentatively scheduled for 2021-06-19.
A list of the other planned release dates is available in the
?docs/release_guide.pod? file.
The development team appreciates feedback! If you?re using Rakudo, do
get back to us. Questions, comments, suggestions for improvements, cool
discoveries, incredible hacks, or any other feedback ? get in touch with
us through (the above-mentioned) mailing list or IRC channel. Enjoy!
Please note that recent releases have known issues running on the JVM.
We are working to get the JVM backend working again but do not yet have
an estimated delivery date.

+ Do core setting name mapping via compiler config [6e087e13]
+ Fix for spectest not seeing Inline::Perl5 [d5630720]
New in 2020.06:
+ SPECIAL NOTES:
+ Results of `dir` routine called with dirty base path are presented
as cleaned up for some paths (like `///` or `a/../a`) unlike
before. While compatibility with most of other cases is preserved
and no ecosystem fallout was observed, be cautious of the possible
observable changes if the code does not clean dirty paths using `cleanup` method.
+ Since this release, when you start Raku with "-" as a single positional parameter, it
will now check if STDIN is connected to a terminal. If it is, then
the REPL will be started, rather than appearing to freeze waiting
for the user to enter something and issue an EOF. If STDIN is *not*
connected to a terminal, then Raku will read from STDIN and process
that as the source of a program.
+ The `run` routine, `Proc.spawn` and `Proc::Async.new` are
extended with a new argument `:$win-verbatim-args` defaulting to
`False`. If the argument is left off or set to False, the
arguments are quoted according to the Microsoft convention. This
is identical to Rakus previous behavior and thus backwards
compatible. When passing True the passed arguments are
concatenated with a single space. No other processing takes
place. This allows to manually quote the arguments as necessary.
+ Changes:
+ Support verbatim argument handling for `Proc` [709941c6][9a75738f]
+ Signatures of `slurp` and `spurt` routines not accepting redundant arguments is
now compile time error rather than run-time one [22f43444]

+ The `gist` method output for multi-dimensional arrays is truncated now [cfc3e57f][4bfe5bd5]
+ Parametrization a variable type in form `my $foo is Type[Foo, Bar]` works for all types now [de43f193]
+ The `rotate` method now returns `Seq` instead of `List` [4b501bd4]
+ Add CACHEDIR.TAG to mark cache dirs as cache [37646b86][c3bdb617][ef90599e]
+ Improve GNU C++ name mangling [4f672c27]
+ Make `Instant.raku` output simpler [c0b5fb28]
+ Improve smartmatching against `Mu`/`Any`/`Junction` types
(`Mu.new ~~ Mu` does not die anymore, `any(Mu, Any) ~~ Mu` returns `True` now) [3b4794f4][840d3e81]
+ Fixes:
+ Fix code objects created BEGIN time EVAL getting lost in precompilation [537f8877][169f63d9]

compares them using `raku` method now [c9e94623]
