Re: What's involved in the creation of a new Rakudo * version?

Yep, I'm pleased that Star is behind a bit. It needs to be the stable face
of Perl 6, but updated frequently enough that it's not irrelevant.

There are star releases every 3 months.

There was a RC0 of 2016.10 released today.

There is a link on perl6.org to the Tarball.

You can help by installing on as many systems as possible -- particularly
on recent Linux systems with HLE in /proc/cpuinfo

Cheers Steve
