Hi Patrick, I'm sure you have plenty of things to do and I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but it would be really nice to have a good and more recent Rakudo Star version available, especially in view of the recent renaming of the language. I'm writing every week at least two or three blog posts in which I still have to use "perl6," or "$some-var.perl6" and so on, because we still don't have a real Raku release. Although I admit that I wasn't really a big fan of the renaming, now that it has been decided, I would really prefer to be able to abide to the new naming convention.
Also, I have started to prepare a new *Thing Raku* version of my *Think Perl 6* book (almost complete), but I can't publish it for the time being because there is no Rakudo Starr release available right now. And, by the way, more generally, having a nine-month-old release to offer on the main download site looks quite bad anyway. It's not you, but something must be wrong in the process. Happy new year and best regards, Laurent.
