[plt-dev] Release Announcement for v4.2.4

From: Robby Findler (robby at eecs.northwestern.edu)
Date: Sun Jan 24 20:05:35 EST 2010

I don't think that normalizing the results of procedure-arity deserves
a mention. Similarly, the keybindings thing is probably too low-level.

I think that the image stuff deserves a mention:

* the 2htdp/image continues to grow. In this release, it is now
supported by 2htdp/universe, equality changed to be based on how the
images are drawn, cropping and curves were added, and support for more
kinds of pens were added.

* Added a porting guide that explains how to turn htdp/world programs
into 2htdp/universe and 2htdp/image programs
