Re: [racket-dev] Can't use 5.1.2 and later

You might try running science-test.rkt multiple times and see if it fails. It's the simulation collection where I see the problem mostly. It uses the differential equation solver from the science collection, which is the only place I know of that uses boxes, but there may be others. I was using Win

I reported a problem a few weeks back that keeps me from using 5.1.2 (and now 5.1.3). Matthew believes it is due to an optimizer bug with boxes. Fortunately, 5.1.1 works, but we're stuck there. I tried the latest nightly build this morning and the error is still there. [That was mainly just a frien

Hi Neil, I've been using the new plot library for visualizing some benchmark results in three dimensions (# threads, amount of work, throughput). It's very easy to use, and the interactive 3d plots are great. I also plan to use the PDF export for my next paper. Thanks for making this available!
