<commit_before># Announce: Rakudo Star Release 2018.10

## A useful and usable production distribution of Rakudo

On behalf of the Rakudo and Perl 6 development teams, I'm pleased to announce
the October 2018 release of "Rakudo Star", a useful and usable production
distribution of Rakudo.  The tarball for this release is available from
<https://rakudo.perl6.org/downloads/star/>.  

Binaries for macOS and Windows (64 bit) are also available at the same
location.

This is a post-Christmas (production) release of Rakudo Star and implements
Perl v6.c. It comes with support for the MoarVM backend (all module tests pass
on supported platforms).  Currently, Star is on a quarterly release cycle. <commit_msg>tweak announce<commit_after># Announce: Rakudo Star Release 2018.10
