On the first anniversary of the Pugs project, I'm delighted to announce
Pugs 6.2.11 to the world.

The release tarball will be available from CPAN shortly:

http://pugscode.org/dist/Perl6-Pugs-6.2.11.tar.gz
SIZE = 2930469
SHA1 = 20b46eed2161e8cec2e85ecfc6b5137c30dcd0ac

Please see http://pugs.blogs.com/pugs/2006/02/changes_for_pug.html for
the full change log. Here are some highlights:

- Lexical imports and rich module interface information in %*INC
- YAML serialization support for data structure, parse tree and ASTs
- Improved embedding and PIR generation for Parrot 0.4.1+
- Using Perl 5 modules with JavaScript backend, via "pugs -B JS-Perl5"
- PIL^N backend prototype with Class, Roles and Container objects
- A prototype implementation of 6PAN module management system

I'm very grateful to the lambdacamels for carrying Pugs forward in the
past three months, which has been a difficult period of transition for me.

Now that I'm back to reality under a new-yet-original identity, I look
forward to meet fellow Pugs hackers again at the upcoming hackathons:
Israel, Germany, Austria, Japan, Taiwan, and undoubtedly many other places.

It has been a wonderful year. Many happy returns! :-)
