Thanks to a pull request from Alexander Knauth, you can add a RACKET_VERSION = SCOPE_SNAPSHOT to your .travis.yml build matrix:
https://github.com/greghendershott/travis-racket/blob/master/.travis.yml#L31 Also, as with RACKET_VERSION = HEAD, you can put this version into an allowed failures list. That way, it won't ding your overall build status: https://github.com/greghendershott/travis-racket/blob/master/.travis.yml#L33-L38 On Thu, May 21, 2015 at 9:15 AM, Matthew Flatt <mfl...@cs.utah.edu> wrote: > I've been working on a new model of macros for Racket.
