Day 41: 6.0.11 released!
After a very very long day of hacking, 6.0.11 is now upon us. See my announcement for the full changelog; some of today's changes are:
- Experimental support for pugscc, which compiles Perl 6 code into stand-alone executables.
-
$?CALLER::variables in subroutine parameters and defaults are now both evaluated in the caller's scope. - List associativity now works again.
-
=<>now reads the first file in@*ARGSif there is a@*ARGS; it is a TODO to make it read all files in@*ARGS. - Infix
Y(and its UTF8 form). - Source code is now always treated as UTF-8.
- Unicode variable names and subroutines now works, if GHC is compiled with unicode support.
- Some releng and utility scripts under
util/. - And many, many more...
In other news, I talked Alias (of PPI fame) to check in Algorithm::Dependency to modules/ as an experiment of free-for-all, in-the-trunk p6ification; see his announcement for details.
Now with pugscc working, I'm seriously considering using the PPI-Yaml-PugsAST chain to make Pugs run Perl 5 code. Stay tuned for that, too...
Or is it a BUG?"
