Here's the candidate announcement I have. Comments welcome.

Vincent


- The official package catalog Web site is revised to have a new user
  experience. Thank Tony Garnock-Jones for the excellent design!

- The Northwestern snapshot site keeps weekly snapshots going up to 12
  weeks into the past. Those provide a middle ground for users who want
  access to new features earlier than stable releases, but want less
  churn than nightly builds.

- DrRacket's #lang-line customization support works better with buggy
  (i.e., in development) languages.

- DrRacket provides a refactoring tool to remove unused requires in
  modules.

- The web server's cookie libraries, including "id cookie" authentication,
  support RFC 6265.

- The `db` library supports PostgreSQL's UUID type.

- The `raco` command lists matching commands when passed an ambiguous
  command prefix.

- The bytecode compiler detects more optimization opportunities for
  structure operations.

- Scribble can produce output via XeLaTeX as an alternative to LaTeX.

- Scribble supports the `acmart` LaTeX style, for use with ACM
  publications.

- Scribble supports the use of CJK characters in tags.
