Announce: Niecza Perl 6 v10

    Announce: Niecza Perl 6 v10

This is the tenth release of Niecza Perl 6, as usual scheduled on
the last Monday of the month.

You can obtain a build of Niecza from [1].  This build contains a
working compiler as a set of .exe and .dll files suitable for use with
Mono or Microsoft .NET.  If you wish to follow latest developments,
you can obtain the source from [2]; however, you will still need a
binary for bootstrapping, so you gain nothing from a "source is
better" perspective.

Niecza is a Perl 6 compiler project studying questions about the
efficient implementability of Perl 6 features.  It currently targets
the Common Language Runtime; both Mono and Microsoft .NET are known to
work.  On Windows, Cygwin is required for source builds only; see the
README for details.

    List of changes

[Major features]

CLR interoperation is now fairly well supported!  You can create
objects, call methods, get and set fields and properties, create
delegates, etc from Perl 6 code.  See examples/ for usage ideas.

The Mono.Posix dependency has been relaxed from load time to run
time, meaning .NET support is back if you don't use file tests.
