The possible final release announcement is below. Ryan: you're the last thing I need.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- PLT Scheme version 4.2.2 is now available from http://plt-scheme.org/ * 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. * New Scribble libraries and documentation make it easier to get started with Scribble, especially for uses other than PLT documentation. DrScheme now has better indentation and syntax coloring support for Scribble languages (and generally all @-exp based languages). * Added support for abstract contracts via the #:exists keywords. This is an experiment to add support for data hiding to the contract system. * Added `in-producer': a sequence expression makes it easy to iterate over producer functions (e.g., `read'). A new `scheme/generator' library creates generators that can use a (parameterized) yield function. * HtDP langs: several primitives now consume 0 and 1 arguments in ISL (and up), including `append', `+' and `*'. In addition, `make-list' was added to the primitives. * The API to Universe has a number of new constructs. All Universe programs should run unchanged. The most important change is the addition of `animate' as an alternative name for `run-simulation'. In addition, adding the clause `(state true)' to a world description now pretty-prints the state of the world into a separate canvas. * A number of changes were made to the DeinProgramm / DMdA language levels: The `check-property' and `contract' forms were added, `define-record-procedures-parametric' has changed. See the documentation for details. * The test engine in the HtDP languages no longer warns programmers when the Definitions window has no tests. * ProfessorJ (and related code) is no longer included in the PLT distributions. It may re-appear in the future as a PLaneT package. * New stuff in `syntax/parse' Also `syntax/keyword'? `stxclass' collection gone [Note that mirror sites can take a while to catch up with the new downloads.] Feedback Welcome, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-dev
