For DrScheme, I propose these bullets: - DrScheme now, by default, compiles all of the files that are loaded when it runs a program and saves the compiled files in the filesystem. This should lead to faster load times (not faster runtimes) since it avoids re-compiling files whose dependencies have not changed.
- DrScheme now has better indentation and syntax coloring support for Scribble languages (and generally all @-exp based languages). And here's the contracts bullet I suggested earlier: - added support for abstract contracts via the #:exists keywords. This is an experiment to add support for data hiding to the contract system. I think that's all that needs to go into the release for drscheme & contracts.
