Racket v8.14
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As of this release:
- 64-bit ARM Windows is one of the standard pre-built downloads.
- The `compiler/demod` language integrates demodularization into the
program rather than an external tool. Using the language approach
cooperates with other Racket tools and allows demodularization to be
used on libraries. Additionally, demodularization handles submodules
and can prune definitions, significantly shrinking the size of some
programs.
- The `contract-in` form enables contracts to be specified in an
importing module. (see https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/attaching-contracts-to-values.html#%28form._%28%28lib._racket%2Fcontract%2Fbase..rkt%29._contract-in%29%29 )
- The `#%declare` form supports the `#:flatten-requires` and
`#:unlimited-compile` keywords (see https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/module.html#%28form._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._~23~25declare%29%29 )
- Identifiers such as `case-λ`, `match-λ` and `λ` are equivalent to
their Latin-alphabet equivalents (`case-lambda`, `match-lambda`, and
`lambda`) in more contexts, including uses of `match`.
- The `hash-filter` function allows the use of a predicate to select a
sub-table of a hash table. (see https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/hashtables.html#%28def._%28%28lib._racket%2Fhash..rkt%29._hash-filter%29%29 )
- The module browser can perform filtering on submodules.
- The `raco test` command-line form respects the
`current-test-invocation-directory` parameter, and shows well-formed
module paths in its output. (see https://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/test.html#%28def._%28%28lib._raco%2Ftesting..rkt%29._current-test-invocation-directory%29%29 )
- Racket CS allows the use of in-memory boot files.
- The `raco/testing` collection brings together a variety of testing-
related functions and forms. (see https://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/test.html#%28mod-path._raco%2Ftesting%29 )
- This release also includes many bug-fixes and documentation updates!
- NOTE: This release (and version 8.13) have a known build problem that
affects the builtpkgs source bundle on Windows. In order to avoid this
problem, use a pre-built bundle or build using a source bundle other
than the "builtpkgs" one. Nightly builds do not suffer from this
problem.
