Given that this is the first release post-Christmas, and we're trying very hard not to break anything, I've created 2016.01-RC1 tags and tarballs for both rakudo & nqp. (available from the normal download location)
Please test them out and let us know on #perl6 on freenode (or here) if you find any issues. If we're happy with them, we need to: 1) tag NQP with a clean version 2) update rakudo's 2016 prep branch to depend on the non-RC variant. 3) tag rakudo with a clean version 4) regen and push the NQP & Rakudo tarballs with a clean name. Thanks to everyone for bearing with us as we navigate a brand new release process post-Christmas. -- Will "Coke" Coleda
