I propose the following minor edits:
— every bullet indicates with the first two words which part of the repo it
talks about. I used capitalization for bin-s.
— I tried to eliminate comparisons without “than”. Thirty years after reading
S&W for the first time, I am still allergic.
I integrated Ryan’s bullet below the PLT Web Server one, keeping related things
together. — Matthias

* Racket CS is ready for production use. We will work to further improve
Racket CS before making it the default implementation, but it now
consistently passes all of our integration tests and generally performs
well. (Compiled code remains significantly larger compared to the default
implementation.)
* DrRacket's scrolling is responsive.
* DrRacket's dark mode support is usable on macOS and Windows.
* The PLT Web Server provides fine-grained control over the various aspects
to do with interacting with client connections (timeouts, buffer sizes,
maximum header counts etc.) via the new 'safety limits' construct.
We have decreased the web server's default trust in client and detects
additional maliciously-constructed requests.
* The PLT Web Server's handling of large file is improved, and its latency
for long-running request handlers is reduced.
* The Macro Stepper has a new macro hiding algorithm that tracks term
identity through syntax protection (see `syntax-arm`), making macro
hiding work more reliably. It UI indicates protected and tainted syntax.
* The Racket documentation includes a "build and contributing" guide.
* The UDP library permits setting a TTL (time to live).
* The net/send-url's library has been improved for all platforms.

I got additional items from Bogdan Papa and a current note on CS from Matthew,
and removed items per Sam’s suggestion. Here’s what I have now:

* DrRacket's scrolling is much more responsive.

* The web server provides fine-grained control over the various aspects

maximum header counts etc.) via the new 'safety limits' construct.
Client connections are trusted less by default and the server is more
secure against maliciously-constructed requests.
* The web server handles large file uploads better, and long-running web
server request handlers may have lower latencies.
* Racket includes a "build and contributing" guide.
* UDP users can set a TTL (time to live).
* The send-url behavior is improved on all platforms.

I think the scrolling-in-drracket item (that could probably use more
wordsmithing) is the top item this time.

The release announcement sketch that I have so far is below. Please
mail me new items and/or edits.
Please phrase announcements using complete sentences and avoid the
word "now".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* DrRacket has support for "dark mode"
* On macOS and Windows, DrRacket's dark mode support is much better.
(We had dark mode support before but it just was a bit hit-and-miss
which part of the GUI paid attention to it)
* DrRacket has improved scrolling
* DrRacket's scrolling is much more responsive
("responsive" is the key word here)
