I should have explored more when Mike merged this in. Then again, I doubt we will have many Americans reading these docs. What's broken? I found two things so far: 1. the basic signatures are lowercase in the docs, but are uppercase for real. 2. When you restrict a function with a signature, you can still misapply it in the REPL: (: f (Integer - Integer)) (define (f x) x) (f hello) ;; in Defs: violation of signature ;; in REPL: returns hello The biggest flaw is mine. The code is in the base but there's no documentation. -- Matthias _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev

Re: [racket-dev] Release Announcement for v5.0.1 -- final version
We should try to make sure that only commit messages from commits in the release branch are considered for the release notes process. Do we a script that does it or does someone pick through them manually?

[racket-dev] Release Announcement for v5.0.1 -- final version
Final version, after some edits and reorganization. -- * Datalog is a lightweight deductive database system with Racket integration. It is now available in the `datalog' collection and with `#lang datalog'. * Racklog provides Prolog-style logic programming in Racket, adapted from Dorai Sitaram's Schelog package. It is available in the `racklog' collection and now as `#lang racklog'. * By default `make install' and `raco setup' compile collections in parallel on all available processors. (Use `raco setup -j 1' to disable, if necessary.) * Changes (as part of 5.0) in the `racket' language compared to the `scheme' language: constructor-style printing, a `struct' alternative to `define-struct' that fits more naturally with `match' and constructor-style printing, bytecode-dependency management via SHA-1 hashes instead of just timestamps (where the `openssl/sha1' library provides the SHA-1 hash function), a reorganization of `scheme/foreign' into `ffi/unsafe' and associated libraries, and new printing functions `eprintf' and `displayln'. Also, a generator from `racket/generator' is required to have the form `(generator () body ...)', which supports a planned extension to let a generator accept arguments. * Changes to the `racket' language (since 5.0): internal-definition positions allow mixing expressions with definitions, full continuations can escape past a continuation barrier, custodians can attempt to terminate subprocesses and subprocess groups (see `current-subprocess-custodian-mode', `subprocess-group-enabled'), the JIT supports additional unboxing flonum operations and unsafe variants, `ffi/unsafe' provides an asychronous-call mechanism to deal with foreign threads, a new . modifier for format string directives (e.g., ~.s and ~.a) limits the respective output to `(error-print-width)' characters. * The core type system of Typed Racket has been substantially revised. In particular, Typed Racket can now follow significantly more sophisticated reasoning about the relationships between predicates. Additionally, Typed Racket now allows variable arity types in more places, allowing programmers to specify variable-arity lists. * We are working on an optimizing version of Typed Racket that takes advantage of type information for certain classes of programs. This project is a work in progress. For those interested, see the documentation for `#:optimized'. * The `web-server/formlets' library adds a `formlet*' form that allows dynamic formlet construction, as opposed to `formlet' which requires syntactic Xexprs and static formlets. Several new library formlets are added. * The `syntax/parse' library has new support for matching literals at different phases using the `#:phase' argument for literals and literal sets. * RackUnit now includes a GUI test runner as `rackunit/gui'. * The Advanced Student Language now supports hash-table primitives, `define-datatype' for defining sets of related structs, and `match' for pattern matching. * The `2htdp/image' library now includes `flip-vertical' and `flip-horizontal' operations that mirror images (vertically and horizontally). -- -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
