<br>
Core Libraries:<br>
<br>
* The new `math' library provides functions and data structures for<br>
working with numbers and collections of numbers. Functions<br>
include non-elementary (such as gamma, zeta, Lambert's W),<br>
number-theoretic (factorization, modular arithmetic), linear<br>
algebra (arithmetic, decompositions), and statistical (expected<br>
values, order statistics, binning). Data structures include<br>
arbitrary-precision bigfloats, probability distributions, and<br>
multidimensional arrays.<br>
<br>
* The new `file/untar', `file/untgz', and `file/unzip' libraries<br>
support unpacking widely used archive formats.<br>
<br>
* The new `lazy-require' form allows programs to delay the loading<br>
and instantiation of helper modules until they are needed.<br>
<br>
* The new `data/bit-vector' library provides an implementation of<br>
bit vectors (a mutable sequence of booleans) supporting popcount.<br>
<br>
* The `racket/generic' library allows the specification of default<br>
method implementations for core datatypes.<br>
<br>
* The `openssl' library can verify hostnames and use the operating<br>
system's certificate store to verify certificates.<br>
<br>
Package System:<br>
<br>
* A new package system is in beta release. This system will become<br>
Planet's successor. It differs significantly from the latter.<br>
For details, please read the documentation at<br>
<a href="http://docs.racket-lang.org/planet2/" target="_blank">http://docs.racket-lang.org/planet2/</a> and list your packages on the<br>
new index at <a href="https://pkg.racket-lang.org/" target="_blank">https://pkg.racket-lang.org/</a>.<br>
<br>
* The `raco test' command supports testing by collection and<br>
package, in addition to by directory and file, with the "-c" and<br>
"-p" options.<br>
<br>
Teaching Libraries:<br>
<br>
* batch-io: the read and write functions work on Unix-style standard<br>
input and output.<br>
<br>
DrRacket:<br>
<br>
* DrRacket's GUI is more responsive.<br>
<br>
* The automatic parenthesis insertion mode is improved.<br>
<br>
Scribble:<br>
<br>
* Scribble renders Markdown format files via the "--markdown"<br>
command-line flag. Example use case: Generate documentation<br>
hosted on GitHub or BitBucket.<br>
<br>
* Documentation cross-reference information is stored in an SQLite3<br>
database, which means that SQLite3 is required for building Racket<br>
documentation on Unix/Linux machines (but SQLite3 is included in<br>
Racket distributions for Windows and Mac OS X).<br>
<br>
Using a database for cross-reference information significantly<br>
reduces the initial footprint of DrRacket, since DrRacket no<br>
longer needs to load all cross-reference information.<br>
<br>
Typed Racket:<br>
<br>
* Typed Racket programs can require `plot/typed' to draw plots.<br>
List- and vector-accepting functions accept general sequences.<br>
<br>
* Typed Racket supports Racket's delimited continuation and<br>
continuation mark operators.<br>
<br>
Redex:<br>
<br>
* Added more support for `define-judgment-form', including random<br>
generation for well-formed judgments and visualization of<br>
judgments.<br>
<br>
Deprecation:<br>
<br>
The following have been removed in this release:<br>
<br>
* the `planet' command-line tool; use `raco planet' instead.<br>
<br>
The following has been deprecated and will be removed in the August<br>
2013 release:<br>
<br>
* the `mzlib/class100' library; use `racket/class' instead.<br>
<br>
