In November 2018, a new version of the Raku language, 6.d, was produced. This new version introduced a few hundred new features, making some other obsolete. There were no major grammar or functional changes, but the language overall was made much more coherent; ambiguities were solved, and features were uniformized.
Unfortunately, being the documentation a separate (and also volunteer) effort, those working on it could not really keep up to date. More than one year later, most features are already checked, but there are still a few to go. Additionally, new compiler versions have been produced since then, up to an including the last one, 2021.03. Every new version also includes changes to the language, which raises issues in the documentation documentation of the same nature; in general, these have not been addressed, and most new features (or clarifications or fixes of old features) are still not part of the documentation.
Issues that specify additions
and changes for new releases are grouped in the
versions label, and
work is way behind on these. Most of them do not involve a lot of
investigation, and are purely updates; as a matter of fact, they can
be easily used for onboarding anyone that might want to help
documenting Raku.
Address other issues that have some relationship with this issue, such as 2688, 2694 or 2703.
