Re: [racket-dev] Release Announcement for v6.4
Thank you all for responding.
A draft announcement is below. Comments welcome.
Vincent
- Incremental garbage-collection mode can eliminate long pauses in a
program. For example, incremental mode is useful for avoiding pauses
in games and animations.
Programs must specifically request incremental mode with
`(collect-garbage 'incremental)`, but libraries such as
`2htdp/universe` include the request as part of the library's
implementation.
- The default package catalog is an HTTPS address instead of HTTP, and
package operations properly validate server certificates when using
HTTPS.
- Documentation may define their own categories for the manual top-
level page by using strings, rather than only symbols that name
pre-defined categories.
- DrRacket's scrolling is faster.
- The Racket cheat sheet is included in the main distribution.
- DrRacket is available in Bulgarian, thanks to Alexander Shopov.
- The contract Typed Racket generates for the `Any` type is more
permissive, allowing more typed/untyped programs to work without
contract errors.
- Redex supports binding specifications; describe which variables bind
in which expressions and your metafunctions and reduction relations
automatically become scope-sensitive. Thanks to Paul Stansifer for
this improvement.
- All `pict` functions accept `pict-convertible`s. This allows for
transparent interoperability between `pict` and libraries like
`2htdp/image`.
- The `raco profile` and `raco contract-profile` commands provide easy
access to profiling tools, without requiring program modifications.

Re: [racket-dev] Release Announcement for v6.4
Since the improvements so far would need explanation, and since further
improvements are still in progress (especially relative to the v6.4
branch), a separate message to the mailing list --- or a blog post? ---
seems better than a bullet in the release announcement.

Re: [racket-dev] Release Announcement for v6.4
I think we might want to add a grain of salt to that part of the
announcement. People shouldn't expect radically improved performance
for, say, programs using the math library. It gets better in some
cases, but I feel like we need something that's a bit more uniformly
better before saying too much.
So I would either say nothing, or I would add some more qualifications
or specificity or something.

Re: [racket-dev] Release Announcement for v6.4
For Typed Racket:
Typed Racket now generates contracts with lower overhead in many
cases, speeding up typed/untyped interaction.
The contract generated for the `Any` type is now more permissive,
allowing more typed/untyped programs to work without contract errors.

Yep, that's perfect! It does look, though, that we may not be including small changes like this one in the release notes after all. My mistake. Anyone has thoughts on the topic?

Probably not. It looks like we won't be mentioning individual new
bindings.

* Incremental garbage-collection mode can eliminate long pauses in a
program. For example, incremental mode is useful for avoiding pauses
in games and animations.
Programs must specifically request incremental mode with
`(collect-garbage 'incremental)`, but libraries such as
`2htdp/universe` include the request as part of the library's
implementation.

I don't think these need an entry.

* The default package catalog is an HTTPS address instead of HTTP, and
package operations properly validate server certificates when using
HTTPS.

Nothing to mention here. (Version 6.3 was signed for Windows, and that
change just adapts the build infrastructure to better automate signing.)

The former is a bug fix, and Robby has covered the latter.

Re: [racket-dev] Release Announcement for v6.4
For mine:
- Redex supports binding specifications; describe which variables
bind in which expressions and your metafunctions and reduction
relations automatically become scope-sensitive. Thanks to Paul
Stansifer for this improvement.
- DrRacket's scrolling is faster.
