* The `#lang scheme' language is deprecated. `#lang racket' should be
used instead.
* The `compatibility' collection provides features from Racket relatives,
such as `defmacro' and mutable lists. These features are provided to
ease porting code to Racket. We do not recommend using them in modern
Racket code.
* NaN is included in all of Typed Racket's floating-point types, which
makes precise floating-point types easier to use.
* Typed Racket provides the `:query-type/args' and `:query-type/result'
utilities to explore types at the REPL.
* Screenshots of the widgets provided by the Racket GUI library are
included in the documentation. (Thanks to Diogo F. S. Ramos.)

Nothing major.
