Racket v8.8
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Racket version 8.8 is now available from
https://racket-lang.org/
As of this release:
* The dependent contract form, `->i`, supports a #:param element that
specifies dependencies for parameter values that are set during the
dynamic extent of the function call.
(See: https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/function-contracts.html#%28form._%28%28lib._racket%2Fcontract%2Fbase..rkt%29._-~3ei%29%29 )
* The `copy-file` library function supports permission-management
arguments.
(See: https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Filesystem.html#%28def._%28%28lib._racket%2Fprivate%2Fbase..rkt%29._copy-file%29%29 )
* Pressing <SHIFT>-return in DrRacket's interactions window makes
it easier to edit and enter expressions without sending them
to be evaluated.
* The numeric comparison operators (<, >=, etc.) require at least
two arguments in the "How To Design Programs" teaching languages.
* Redex has improved typesetting when customized renders are used
in certain multi-line situations.
* We have fixed many bugs, and written lots of documentation.
