A complete announcement draft is below. Comments welcome. Vincent
- Racket supports building graphical applications on Android, via the racket-android project: https://github.com/jeapostrophe/racket-android - The Racket REPL comes with line-editing, command and result history, and various meta-commands out of the box. See the `xrepl` documentation for details. - The package system supports installing Git packages that require authentication when using the HTTP or HTTPS protocols by setting the `raco pkg config git-checkout-credentials` configuration option. - The "--enable-ffipoll" option causes Racket to block before FFI calls until the embedding program explicitly completes those calls. This is used, for instance, in the Android port to ensure that OpenGL calls originate from the appropriate thread even when Racket is executing in a different thread. - HTTP libraries, including raco pkg, support proxying via HTTP CONNECT. - Typed Racket provides typed versions of `racket/os` and `racket/db/sqlite`. - Racket requires `racket/interactive` on start-up in interactive mode, and the `racket/interactive` module is responsible for loading ".racketrc" as well as `xrepl`. See the docs on `racket/interactive` for more information. - The `PLT_COMPILED_FILE_CHECK` environment variable controls whether modify dates are checked on ".zo" files. Set the environment variable to "exists" to use a ".zo" file when it exists, independent of its modification date. - Typing "H:" on the search page returns all #langs and typing "R:" returns all reader modules (just like "L:" returns all modules). - The file/glob modules implements globbing for path-strings. - Optimizations in the bytecode compiler improve performance for structure, list, string, and byte-string operations.
