@ John, almost all in one place:
~~ most suggested fixed incorporated.
~~ not incorporated: changing the name of the executable.
~~ not incorporated: Robby’s request to move scrolling up.
~~ bracketed the last bullet; I think it could be dropped.
The final decisions are yours. — 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 has been made responsive.
* DrRacket's dark mode support is usable on macOS and Windows.
* The PLT Web Server provides fine-grained control over various aspects
of handling client connections (timeouts, buffer sizes, maximum header
counts etc.) via the new 'safety limits' construct.
We have decreased the web server's default level of trust in client
connections and detect additional maliciously-constructed requests.
* The PLT Web Server's handling of large files 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. Its UI indicates protected and tainted syntax.
* The Racket documentation includes a "building and contributing" guide.
* The UDP library permits setting a TTL (time to live).
[[ * The net/send-url library’s send-url has been improved across all
platforms. ]]
