- The
matchform checks that when non-linear patterns (patterns
where the same variable is used multiple times) are used with...,
the two parts of the matched value actually are equal. Additionally,
match rejects non-linear patterns where one use of the variable is
used with...and another is not. This repair could cause existing
code to fail. - Typed Racket's types for the
asinandacosprocedures correctly
handle situations where the function produces a complex number,
avoiding unsound results that were previously possible. This repair
could cause existing code to fail at compile time. - The
#%foreign-inlinecore syntactic form provides unsafe access to
facilities provided at the linklet layer by a Racket implementation.
This means that any code that handles all core forms by enumeration
will need to be updated. - Unicode 17.0 is used for character and string operations.
- This release includes internal support for a more static "ffi2"
foreign interface (to be used in a future package). - The
terminal-file-positionfunction counts bytes written to ports
connected to a terminal, such asstdinandstderr. - Cross-phase persistent modules allow more types of
quoted data. - The implementations of
member,memw,when,unless,let/ec,
andcondare rewritten to use onlyracket/kernelsyntax - The
impersonator-property-predicate-procedure?function identifies
procedures created bymake-impersonator-property. - In Typed Racket, polymorphic struct types are printed using type
arguments (e.g.,(Array Byte)) rather than exposing an internal
representation. - The stepper's display of numbers better matches the language
settings. - Scribble documents that do not use the Racket-manual style get an
initial-scaleof 1.0, instead of the manual style's 0.8, but this
can be configured using theinitial-scaleproperty. - By default, margin notes appear inline for narrow displays in all
styles, not just in the Racket-manual style. - Big-bang programs distributed as .dmg files correctly handle the
close-on-stopfeature. - There are many other repairs and documentation improvements!
