Update to January 2012 release of "Rakudo Star". This release of Rakudo Star adds the following features over the previous Star release: Here are some of the major improvements in this release over the previous distribution release. * Greatly improved performance in many areas. For some scripts, this release offers an order of magnitude performance improvement. * POD6 support, including the $=POD variable to make the POD available at runtime and a doc option to get at the POD * The Int type now has big integer semantics * Initial work on native types, which can be used to write much more efficient code * LTM-driven protoregexes * Meta-programming support, including custom meta-classes, overriding method dispatch and much more * Exception handling is much closer to the specification, and thus much more useful * Better package handling, including true separate compilation, lexical packages and better nested package handling * An optimizer, which improves generated code as well as catching a range of issues at compile-time that previously made it to runtime * Backslash sequences in character classes * Stubbed methods from roles are now required, providing interface style functionality * Typed arrays and hashes, as well as supporting for binding to array and hash elements Changes: http://rakudo.org/2012/01/28/rakudo-star-2012-01-released/ Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
