  • 64-bit ARM Windows is one of the standard pre-built downloads.

  • The compiler/demod language integrates demodularization into the
    program rather than an external tool. Using the language approach
    cooperates with other Racket tools and allows demodularization to be
    used on libraries. Additionally, demodularization handles submodules
    and can prune definitions, significantly shrinking the size of some
    programs.

  • The contract-in form enables contracts to be specified in an
    importing module.

  • The #%declare form supports the #:flatten-requires and
    #:unlimited-compile keywords

  • Identifiers such as case-λ, match-λ and λ are equivalent to
    their Latin-alphabet equivalents (case-lambda, match-lambda, and
    lambda) in more contexts, including uses of match.

  • The hash-filter function allows the use of a predicate to select a
    sub-table of a hash table.

  • The module browser can perform filtering on submodules.

  • The raco test command-line form respects the
    current-test-invocation-directory parameter, and shows well-formed
    module paths in its output.

  • Racket CS allows the use of in-memory boot files.

  • The raco/testing collection brings together a variety of testing-
    related functions and forms.

  • This release also includes many bug-fixes and documentation updates!

  • NOTE: This release (and version 8.13) have a known build problem that
    affects the builtpkgs source bundle on Windows. In order to avoid this
    problem, use a pre-built bundle or build using a source bundle other
    than the "builtpkgs" one. Nightly builds do not suffer from this
    problem.
