• fixed signature parsing
• added: Module::CompileV6
• fixed unicode << ... >> parsing
• allow [ ... ] as regex delimiter
• minor fix in quoted string parser

0.017 2007-05-08

• fixed Makefile.PL

0.016 2006-12-14

• command-line switch -B can be set to alternate backends. The default is '-Bperl5:Pugs::Emitter::Perl6::Perl5'. '-Bperl5' also invokes the default backend.
• command-line switch -G can be set to alternate grammar frontends. The default is '-Gperl5:Pugs::Grammar::Perl6'
• implemented grammar and emitter backends for YAML Perl6->YAML + YAML->Perl5 now works
• added a version banner - perl lib/v6.pm -v
• eval() in caller's context

[devel only]

• moved Perl5 emitter to a separate module
• implemented $$/
• implemented :c and :g switches in rules: ' my $content = "xyz"; while $content ~~ m:c/<alpha>/ { say $/ } ' x \n y \n z \n
• implemented '$x.yaml' and 'eval( $x, :lang<yaml> )'

0.015 2006-09-14

• improved command-line interface, does not require using v6.pm as a script.
• MANIFEST only includes passing tests
• reuse Rule and Pod grammar from Pugs::Compiler::Rule
  • These grammars are now implemented using v6.pm.
  • The Rule grammar is subclassed, in order to callback P6 parser to compile closures.
• improved quoted text parsing
• gradually replace Text::Balanced with plain rules
  • Term::substitution() and rx_body() are the last remaining places.
• experimental implementation of compile-time objects
  • lib/Pugs/Emitter/Perl6/Perl5/
  • not merged yet - see misc/pX/fglock

0.014 2006-08-21

• optimized CPU usage (2x less) and RAM usage (3x less)
• implemented given/when/default/break/continue
• state variables
• implemented additional Array and Hash methods
• $?PUGS_BACKEND returns 'BACKEND_PERL5'

• fixed '{}' (empty hash)
• %hash = ( { a => 1 }, { b => 2 } ) works
• 'my' works inside '//' and 'err'
• optimized match object insideout in Pugs::Compiler::Rule
• optimized operator-precedence parser (Parse::Yapp) initialization

0.013 2006-08-09

• includes precompiled v6 modules: Perl6Prelude.pm, Test.pm
• new grammatical categories: 'quote', 'statement_modifier'

0.012 2006-08-08

• 'loop' - clkao++
• fixed HACKING file formatting - snowstalker++
• fixed docs on 'use v6-alpha' - dduncan++
• 538 tests pass

• added HACKING file
• added Pugs::Runtime::Perl6Prelude

• use v5; ... use v6; -- inlines perl 5 code
• named enums
• bool::True, bool::False, true()
• unless, while
• setting $ENV{V6DUMPAST} can now be used for debugging the syntax tree

0.006 2006-07-06

• squash warnings

0.005 2006-07-05

• properly parses pod -- added t/01-pod.t
• more operators -- added a default '.perl' implementation, which calls perl5 Dumper()
• v6.pm no longer searches in development lib directories

0.001 2006-06-26

• initial CPAN release
