From: Ryan Culpepper (ryanc at ccs.neu.edu)
Date: Sun Dec 29 13:57:10 EST 2013

Checklist items for the v6.0 release
   (using the v5.91.0.900 release candidate build)

Search for your name to find relevant items, reply when you finish an
item (please indicate which item/s is/are done).  Also, if you have any
commits that should have been picked, make sure that the changes are in.

Important: new builds are created without announcement, usually whenever
I pick a few commits.  If you need to commit changes, please make sure
you tell me to pick it into the release branch.

--> Release candidates are at
-->   http://plt.eecs.northwestern.edu/release-snapshots/

Note the nonstandard location!

The "Racket plus Tests" builds already include the test packages. If
you use a "Minimal Racket" build instead, install test packages
manually using "raco pkg install".
