[racket-dev] Release Announcement for v5.3, second draft

Eli had a problem with calling it a "Typed Racket API", because it could 
connote that it's only available for Typed Racket programs. I agree with 
him. It doesn't hurt to repeat that it's easy to use TR libraries in 
untyped code, especially for official libraries.

I prefer to have "images/flomap" somewhere in there so the library is 
easy to find, so I think a good short version would be:

The new `images/flomap' library defines floating-point bitmaps and fast 
image processing operations on them. It is written in Typed Racket, so 
Typed Racket code may use it without the cost of contract checks.
