The release announcement sketch that I have so far is below. All
items except for Sam's are in, so send me edits and/or reorderings.
Note BTW, that a build is now on it's way, which solves (or "solves")
the planet-related problem. (Sam: you're still on that nag list...)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sam]
* typed-scheme stuff ("paths branch")
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Faster installation of Planet packages that trigger install of
other Planet packages, because the documentation index is
updated only once after a group of packages is installed.
* The `syntax/parse' library provides macro writers with an
enhanced syntax pattern matcher that reports errors based on the
patterns' declared classes of syntax.
* Identifier mappings following the v4 dictionary interface and
naming conventions are available from the `syntax/id-table'
library.
* Redex: added `define-relation' and generalized patterns that
appear in "where" clauses to use the full Redex pattern matcher.
(This is a backwards incompatible change, but one often
requested; see the Redex release notes for details.)
* The Web Server's serializable closures are now available for
other purposes through the web-server/lang/serial-lambda
library.
* Teachpacks: small changes to universe portion of the
"universe.ss" API, plus the addition of a form for launching
many (communicating) worlds simultaneously. Bug fixes
concerning conversion to strings.
* It is now possible to create custom scribble readers with a
command characters different than `@', see
`make-at-reader/inside' and `make-at-reader'
* Note: this is likely to be the last release that includes a
solaris distribution. If you need these builds, or if you have
access to a (Sparc) Solaris machine than can be used in PLT
builds, then please let me know.
