As you may know, the Racket Git repo recently switched to Racket CS as the default build. That is, if you check out the repo and `make`, then you get an in-place Racket CS build instead of Racket BC.
The next step in moving toward Racket CS is to try switching the snapshot builds. Out current plan is to switch the Utah build on August 13. The Northwestern snapshot build will be unchanged, for now. This change will have no effect on the regular, release downloads. The layout of the page at https://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/snapshots/ will change so that CS and BC builds are grouped together, more like the Northwestern snapshot layout, but an installer that doesn't have "BC" in its link will download a Racket CS installer. If you have an automated process that pulls from the snapshot site, then it probably downloads something like https://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/snapshots/current/installers/racket-current-x86_64-linux-precise.sh As of August 13, that will download a Racket CS installer instead of a BC installer, because there's no "-bc" suffix in the name. Racket BC builds will still be available; you'll just have to specifically select a download option with "BC" in the link name or "-bc" in the URL. For example, https://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/snapshots/current/installers/racket-current-x86_64-linux-precise-bc.sh will download a Racket BC installer. For now, 32-bit Windows and Mac OS installers will be available only for BC, because we view those as legacy platforms. For consistently, you'll be able to access the CS installers using a "-cs" suffix. The installer name without a "-cs" or "-bc" suffix is an aliases for one with "-cs". Of course, the "current" names are all aliases for installers that have a specific version number. While we're adjusting installer names, the canonical name for Minimal Racket installers will change to "racket-minimal-..." instead of "min-racket-...". The new name matches the names used for releases. For the foreseeable future, "min-racket-..." aliases will still work, but you should migrate to "racket-minimal-..." if you have an automated process that uses "min-racket-...".
