Checklist items for the v6.1.1 release
   (using the v6.1.0.900 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-release.racket-lang.org

Please use these installers (or source bundles) -- don't test from
your own git clone (don't test the `master' branch by mistake!).  To
get the tests, you can do this:

   cd ...racket-root...
   ./bin/raco pkg install -i main-distribution-test

     this stage).
   - Test that the binary installers for both work, try each one in
     both normal and unix-style installation modes. (just ubuntu)
