Plus the 32-bit Windows repair:
* Mac OS X Yosemite: fixed compatibility problems, mainly by patching
the Pango text-drawing library that is bundled with Racket.
* Windows, 32-bit version: fixed window-update crashes by patching the
Cairo drawing library that is bundled with Racket.
* Windows: made the GUI library DPI-aware.
* Added a "binary library" installation mode to install packages
without source or documentation. Use the `--binary-lib` option with
`raco pkg install`.
* Repaired the compiler's use-before-defined analysis for certain
forms of nested `letrec`, some `let` forms, and some uses of `set!`
or `with-continuation-mark`.
* Added bytecode optimizations (thanks to Gustavo Massaccesi).
* Added a `replace-evt` event constructor (as suggested by Jan Dvořák).

These seem too minor for the announcement.
