Stevan has been instrumental to a lot of modules on CPAN, some are even released by him, but probably he is best known as the creator of Moose and the person who adds MOP to the core Perl. Sometimes he even blogs about his progress. It would be great if you could say him thanks and encourage him to further work on the p5 MOP. In 2013 I conducted an interview with him.

There are more than 8000 CPAN modules that depend indirectly on this module. Neil Bowers, the new maintainer released a new version of Perl::MinimumVersion, that broke some of the dependent modules. I think he is way to hard on himself, but the really interesting part is the list of ways he proposes to reduce the chance breaking the chain for other people. If you are a CPAN author, or if you are going to be a CPAN author, then these points can help reducing anxiety.

This is the first Rakudo Star release with support for the MoarVM backend (all module tests pass on supported platforms) along with experimental support for the JVM backend (some module tests fail).
