An Unexpectedly Long-Expected Party

So, I give you Perl 6. She is free to fly. May she have joy in her existence. May she have joy in discovering the world. May she accelerate as long as she will! Cheers!

Cheers!

So, um. This feels like a release announcement, but there's nothing about a release on the mailing list, rakudo.org or perl6.org. Rakudo star is still at 2015.11 in the git repo. Is it not meant to be a release announcement?

It's not Christmas yet - delivering a day early, we can't have that!

Please wait until Christmas to unwrap your presents.

This message is more of a thanksgiving than a release announcement. No download links or anything. But to those of us who worked on the Perl 6 project, it was very moving. It's T-hours now, and this rocket is about to launch.

Do you know when and where the actual release announcement will be?

Thanks to cygx in another thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10793782) for the link to the release announcement: https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2015/12/25/christmas-is-he... .

Cheers!
