</div>A few from your original list, in no particular order:<br>
<br>
* The `gen:set' generic interface extends set operations to work on<br>
user-defined types that implement set methods, as well as on other<br>
set-like built-in types, such as lists.<br>
<br>
* Picts can now be converted to the svg format.<br>
<br>
* Racket now provides desktop entries (.desktop files) for its graphical<br>
executables.<br>
<br>
* The documentation now includes a style guide: "How to Program Racket".<br>
<br>
* DrRacket now provides support for color schemes.<br>

</div>No problem. With the bullets above, I think we have enough.<br>
