Checklist items for the v5.2.1 release
   (using the v5.2.0.900 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://pre.racket-lang.org/release/installers

Please use these installers (or source bundles) -- don't test from
your own git clone (don't test v5.2.1.1 by mistake!).  To get
the tests directory in such a directory, you can do this:
   cd ...racket-root...
   git archive --remote=git://git.racket-lang.org/plt.git release \
       -- collects/tests | tar x
