I can see why this stuff is confusing.<p>Perhaps the following will help reduce some of the confusion and highlight what&#x27;s important.<p>First, about the title:<p>1. The article&#x27;s original title was &quot;Christmas is here&quot;. It makes total sense in the main context in which it was supposed to appear (the Perl 6 Advent Calendar). I would likely rename it if I were posting here at HN.<p>2. The retitle includes &quot;Perl 6.0&quot;. This has for years been the informal codename for an eventual &quot;1.0&quot; type release of the Perl 6 language that Larry Wall scheduled in late 2014 for delivery around now.<p>The deliverables were&#x2F;are: a version (now called v6.c) of a test suite (&quot;roast&quot;) that corresponds to a version v6.c of the Perl 6 language; and a compiler that passes this v6.c roast and thus officially implements this first official version of the Perl 6 language. (I say &quot;officially&quot; to reflect what I understand to be Larry&#x27;s intent for its use.)<p>The article linked to by this HN is the first article to:<p>* Document that the v.6c release has just happened (iiuc, around 22:00 GMT on Dec 25th);<p>* Provide key release info such as discussion of v6.c and a link to the passing compiler that&#x27;s part of v6.c.<p>The passing compiler is the 94th monthly release, on December 25th 2015, of the Rakudo compiler, now the first official Perl 6 compiler. This compiler release clinches deliverable status for the overall v6.c (or &quot;Perl 6.0&quot;) release.<p>I hope this helps. And I hope you HTAAOF with the new Perl 6 and the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler. :)
