    66    * Muldis DB version 0.7.0 for Perl 5 is released on CPAN as 
    77    Muldis-DB-0.7.0.tar.gz.  Muldis DB version 0.7.0 for Perl 6 is not 
    8     released at this time, if ever, since it is currently released only as 
    9     part of the Perl6-Pugs project (in its ext/Muldis-DB/ subdirectory), 
    10     which sets its own less frequent release schedule.  The rest of this 
    11     Changes entry refers only to the Perl 5 version. 
     8    released at all.  The rest of this Changes entry refers only to the 
     9    Perl 5 version, and it should not be assumed that the Perl 6 version 
     10    incorporates all of said updates, though it may have some of them. 
    1211 
    1312    * New file versions are: DB.pm and Interface.pm and Validator.pm and 
    … …  
    2524    also be given elsewhere); this is likely the most succinct description 
    2625    yet of what the projects are and why one would want to use them. 
     26 
     27    * Updated the README file to emphasize the Perl 5 version for now.

     30 
     31    * Muldis DB for Perl 6 has suspended development temporarily while 
     32    resources are focused on just Muldis DB for Perl 5 in the short term; 
     33    later on, when the Perl 5 version is sufficiently advanced, it will be 
     34    translated to Perl 6, so to restart parallel development, or at least 
     35    to provide a snapshot.  In the meantime, some updates to the Perl 6 
     36    version may still be made, but it should not be interpreted that these 
     37    are keeping the whole project in feature parity with the Perl 5 one.

    20 The Perl 6 version is intended to be the primary version over the long 
    21 term, while the Perl 5 version is intended mainly for use in the short 
    22 term.  Technically, the Perl 5 version is deprecated in favor of the Perl 6 
    23 one, but the Perl 5 version will still be supported for several years in 
    24 production environments, as the user demand requires. 
     20The Perl 5 version is intended to be the primary version during the present 
     21time, as Perl 5 itself is stable, production-ready, and commonly used now. 
     22Eventually the Perl 6 version is expected to supercede it, once Perl 6 
     23itself has implementations that are production-ready and in common use. 
     24 
     25That all being said, development of the Perl 6 version has been temporarily 
     26suspended, to focus resources on the Perl 5 version, and therefore the Perl 
     276 version is likely out of date by the time you read this.  In the future, 
     28the more-advanced Perl 5 version will be translated to Perl 6 again, either 
     29to re-establish their parallel development, or just to provide snapshots.
