Are there instructions for installation?  (Either to coexist with an 
existing Racket, or to replace it)

[racket-users] Racket v7.9.0.900 is available for testing

2021-01-22 Thread 'John Clements' via Racket Users
Hello, most excellent Racket Users!

Version 7.9.0.900 is now available for testing from

  https://pre-release.racket-lang.org/

(Note that this is not available from the usual download site.)

If all goes well, we will turn this version into a v8.0 release
within a couple of weeks.

Your help and feedback in testing this new release candidate would be
much appreciated.


Please note that although the last few releases have included variants that 
used the Chez Scheme back-end, this is the first one for which it’s the 
default. The old back-end is now labeled as “BC” (“before chez”) on the 
pre-release download page.

Many thanks!

John Clements
