  • The racket-lang.org website no longer distributes Racket BC bundles,
    but it includes pre-built bundles for two flavors of ARM linux,
    AArch64 and 32-bit ARMv6 VFP.
  • XML structures are serializable.
  • Scribble's HTML generation conforms better to modern standards.
  • Racket uses Unicode 16.0 for character and string operations.
  • The redex-check default generation strategy always uses random
    generation to supplement the enumerator.
  • DrRacket supports the use of shift-tab to go backward to previous
    indentation positions.
  • The macro stepper supports the string-constants library, allowing
    internationalization of the stepper itself.
  • The struct form supports #:properties prop-list-expr, making it
    more convenient to attach multiple property values to a structure
    type.
  • Build-system improvements support containers registered at Docker
    Hub to build for all platforms that have downloads from the main
    Racket download site; improvements also support Unix-style builds
    for Mac OS in the style of MacPorts.
  • The expt function produces a more accurate result when its first
    argument is a flonum and its second argument is an exact integer
    that has no equivalent flonum representation than it did in prior
    versions.
  • TCP ports use SO_KEEPALIVE correctly.
  • Unsafe code can use “uninterruptible mode” instead of “atomic mode”
    to allow futures to run concurrently while preventing interruptions
    from other threads.
  • The net/imap library supports IMAP's move operation.
  • There are many other repairs and documentation improvements!
