* Documentation cross-reference information is now stored in an
SQLite3 database, which means that SQLite3 is required for building
Racket documentation on Unix/Linux machines (but SQLite3 is included
in Racket distributions for Windows and Mac OS X).
Using a database for cross-reference information significantly
reduces the initial footprint of DrRacket, since DrRacket no longer
needs to load all cross-reference information into memory.

* Added `file/untar', `file/untgz', and `file/unzip' libraries
for unpacking widely used archive formats.

* Added `read', `write', `display', and `print' support for flvector
and fxvectors. (Since flvectors and fxvectors are always mutable,
they still are not supported as program constants.)

I think these are too minor or too internal to mention in an announcement.
