I am surprised that [Moritz] or some other monk did not bring it up earlier on this site, but since no one did, let me report that <b>the Rakudo Star November 2015 Release (release 2015.11) is now the official Perl 6 beta version</b>, as officially announced on November 28: [http://rakudo.org/2015/11/28/announce-rakudo-star-release-2015-11-now-in-beta/].
<p>
In addition, and perhaps more importantly, the 1.0 production version is still planned for the Christmas 2015 period: "The Rakudo Perl 6 compiler is now officially in beta for the upcoming production release around Christmas 2015.".

Great news, and a very nice Xmas present from the Perl 6 / Rakudo development teams. Thanks and congratulations to them!
