Changelog for racket-doc-8.7-bp155.1.17.noarch.rpm :

* Wed Dec 14 2022 Andreas Schwab - Update config.sub from upstream
* Mon Dec 05 2022 Fred Fu - Update to 8.7:
* Typed Racket offers Shallow and Optional modes for its gradual types. These modes lower the cost of interacting with untyped code, but provide less protection against buggy interactions.
* Racket uses Unicode 14.0 for character and string operations, and includes grapheme operations. DrRacket supports emojis.
* Racket supports RV64G (RISC-V).
* Programmers can disable definition shadowing using `(#%declare #:require=define)`.
* The module dependency graphs available using raco dependencies-graph and DrRacket\'s Module browser are faster and have new package filtering support.
* DrRacket is more responsive when killing programs that produce a lot of output.
* Plot 3D allows negative altitude values (e.g., looking at the plot from \"below\").
* The `scriblib/bibtex` and `scriblib/autobib` libraries support DOIs.
* There are many other repairs and improvements!
* Thu Aug 18 2022 Andreas Schwab - Fix file list
* Fri Aug 12 2022 Fred Fu - Update to 8.6:
* Racket has an “equal-always?” primitive that equates values that will stay the same even if mutated. See https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Equality.html#%28def.%28%28quote.~23~25kernel%29._equal-always~3f%29%29
* This release uses a new build system, Zuo, which is implemented as a little language, in accordance with the ideas of Language Oriented Programming (LOP). The implementation has a single C file (plus libraries implemented in Zuo), so it compiles easily. The zuo/build library is modeled on make and Shake for tracking dependencies and build steps. See https://docs.racket-lang.org/zuo/index.html and https://racket.discourse.group/t/new-build-system-pushed-to-git-repo/873
* Racket supports stencil vectors, which associate a virtual bitmask with a vector, enabling certain mask-equipped update operations. See https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/stencil_vectors.html
* Racket supports Arm64 machines running Windows.
* Redex has support for simultaneous substitutions. See https://docs.racket-lang.org/redex/reference.html#%28form._%28%28lib._redex%2Freduction-semantics..rkt%29._substitute%29%29
* The Web Server provides control over the maximum number of concurrent connections via its “safety limits” construct. See https://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server-internal/dispatch-server-unit.html#%28part._safety-limits%29
* The Web Server has improved logging performance and improved request parsing performance, reducing tail latencies.
* The Web Server supports logging response status code via web-server/dispatchers/dispatch-logresp. See https://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server-internal/dispatch-logresp.html
* The db library supports custom types for PostgreSQL connections; see pg-custom-type for details. See https://docs.racket-lang.org/db/util.html#%28def._%28%28lib._db%2Futil%2Fpostgresql..rkt%29._pg-custom-type%29%29
* The release includes many other repairs and changes!- Remove patch racket-amsmath-mathabx.patch, since the conflict between modern amsmath and mathabx LaTeX styles has been resolved in the upstream
* Thu Jun 09 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Add patch racket-amsmath-mathabx.patch
* Avoid conflict between modern amsmath and mathabx LaTeX styles to get e.g. scsh build again
* Sun May 08 2022 Fred Fu - Update to 8.5:
* Racket\'s new `-y` flag automatically keeps compiled files up to date, reducing subsequent load times.
* Error-message realms allow Racket-hosted languages to adapt and rewrite error messages to make sense in a particular context.
* Nonprivileged users can control package installation scope using an \"other-version\" directory in the addon-dir.
* Racket CS runs on platforms where native-code generation is not currently supported (e.g., s390x or ppc64). See \"README.txt\" in the source distribution for more information on the --enable-pb flag to configure.
* DrRacket\'s new \'Reopen Closed Tab\' file menu item will open previously closed tabs.
* Typed Racket has support for the `xml` library; use `typed/xml`.
* Rackunit reports source locations for failed test cases in the Typed Racket language.
* Plot has violin plots and improved box-and-whisker plots.
* Boxes are supported alongside lists, vectors etc. in place-channel messages.
* Those who manually configure Racket CS to use Zlib compression for compiled code should be aware of CVE-2018-25032; the next release and the current snapshot builds use a newer, safer version of zlib.
* The release includes many other repairs and changes!- Spec changes:
* add google-roboto-fonts to the build dependencies. Fonts are required for the following two cases: 1. making scribble documents 2. compiling programs that depend on font-related library (e.g. racket/draw) at compile time.
* Sat Apr 16 2022 Fred Fu - Fix bug for boo#1198475
* add a new build dependency, `ncurses-devel`, to enable `expeditor`
* Sun Mar 06 2022 Fred Fu - Update to 8.4:
* Command-line Racket provides a new expression editor by default for its read-eval-print loop (REPL). The new REPL is based on the Chez Scheme expression editor, but extended to use the same language-sensitive syntax coloring and indentation tools as DrRacket.
* Typed Racket adds a kind system, preventing programmers from writing nonsensical type expressions. It checks whether type constructors are correctly applied to arguments, and separates type constructors from polymorphic types. The `:kind` form enables checking the kind of a type expression at the REPL. The new system also correctly rejects some ill-formed recursive types.
* Racket has a `file-or-directory-stat` for unified information about file-system objects.
* DrRacket shows the region affected by an `#;` S-expression comment by fading the commented-out region.
* Racket on Chez has faster multiplication and division for some numbers.
* Web server: The files dispatcher supports all standard caching-related HTTP response headers (e.g., Cache-Control).
* Web server: A new dispatcher captures the common pattern of processing HTTP requests and responses in a layered fashion.
* The Web Server supports use of the Cache-Control header, and includes a new wrapping dispatcher.
* Expander: add \"portal\" syntax to support new forms of syntax object binding.
* Documentation search is improved.
* Some hash operations support an optional `try-order?` argument.
* The plot-metrics interface has documentation.
* Fonts support OpenType feature settings.
* The Gui library has improved support for Wayland.
* The computation of quadratic roots is further improved.
* The `set/c` contract adds support for random generation.
* DrRacket\'s interactions window supports #lang-specific coloring and indentation.
* DrRacket\'s parenthesis-based keyboard shortcuts change based on the parentheses that each different #lang uses.
* The release includes many other bug repairs and other improvements! Transition/Update notes:
* To turn off expeditor and make Racket\'s REPL go back to the old editline/readline-based editor, use the command ,input readline and then restart Racket. Get back to the new expression editor with ,input expeditor To toggle color mode for the new expression editor, use one of the following, which does not require restarting Racket: ,color #false ,color #true
* Support for comment fading in DrRacket requires an increment to the \"WXME\" format version so files with non-text content written by DrRacket v8.4 will open only in v8.4 and later. This does not affect files that consist only of unicode text.
* The addition of the kind system to Typed Racket means that certain mild abuses of the type system no longer type check, most notably the \'application\' of a polymorphic type.- Spec changes:
* fix the path to locate a list of html files where references of %{build-root} need to removed
* add more html files to the list above
* remove the command that deletes `.LOCKpkgs.rktd`, so users will not have to manually create this file as a root user in order to successfully run `raco` or `drracket`.- RPMlintrc changes:
* remove unused filters.
* add a filter to ignore warnings on `.LOCKpkgs.rktd`
* Wed Dec 01 2021 Fred Fu - Update to 8.3:
* Racket removes syntax arming and disarming in favor of a simpler system of protected syntax operations, along with other updates to the syntax system.
* DrRacket has improved support for custom #lang languages.
* Typed Racket improves precision for type-checking of non-polymorphic structures, existential types, and certain binding forms.
* Scribble HTML output gains a button to show / hide the table of contents on mobile platforms.
* Redex’s stepper’s GUI shows IO-judgment form rule names.
* Many bug fixes!- Remove dont-strip.patch, since --disable-strip has been repaired or improved in 8.3.
