- Update to 8.1:
* DrRacket tabs can be dragged, and have new close buttons.
* Racket CS supports cross-compilation using raco exe.
* Racket CS supports Android on 32-bit and 64-bit ARM processors.
* The database library supports running queries in OS threads.
* Check-Syntax arrows correctly identify the definition site of
identifiers with contracts.
* Racket CS performance has improved for structure predicates
and accessors
* Racket CS is faster at multiplying extremely large numbers
and dividing large integers.
* Racket CS allows callbacks to raise exceptions if they are
annotated with #:callback-exns?.
* New ephemeron hash tables simplify the implementation of
tables where keys can refer to values.
* Typed Racket supports for/foldr.
* The stepper works for #lang htdp/*sl.
* Struct signatures work for the ASL teaching language.
- Update to 8.0:
* Racket CS is the default implementation
(except for ppc64le and s390x)
* Racket CS has better parallel garbage collection, a 10%–30% reduction
in the size of generated code, and various targeted optimizations.
* A rewrite of the test-engine package allows the #lang versions of
teaching languages to produce linked test-failure messages.
* The release comes with a new mark-up DSL for composing text to appear
in the REPL (simple-tree-text-markup).
* Redex has an added define-overriding-judgment form and improved
error source location reporting.
* Windows scrolling speed reflects the system preference.
* The db package uses the utf8mb4 charset for MySQL connections.

- Update to 7.8:
* Racket CS supports AArch32 and AArch64, including places and
futures.
* Racket CS supports an "incremental" garbage-collection mode that can
eliminate long GC pauses for some applications, such as animations and
interactive games.
* Racket CS unboxes local floating-point arithmetic
* DrRacket's spell check features lower overhead and has fewer bugs.
* Web Server performance under high concurrency is better by up to an
order of magnitude
* The math library includes the Kronecker product.
* The new prop:struct-field-info property provides static information
about field names.
* In `plot`, the legend font and the plot font can be controlled
independently, and error-bars have an `#:invert?` option.
* Racket CS uses a new HAMT implementation, dramatically reducing the memory
required for immutable hash tables.
* GC callbacks are reliably called on major collections in Racket CS.
Also, Garbage collection is 10-20% faster.
* DrRacket can recover much more quickly from errors involving large
stack traces.
* Call-with-current-language allows more reliable tests for language
level code.
* Use of the Cairo library can be multi-threaded.
* DrRacket's scrolling has been made more responsive.
* DrRacket's dark mode support is improved for Mac OS and Unix.
* The Web Server provides fine-grained control over various aspects of
handling client connections (timeouts, buffer sizes, maximum header
counts, etc.) via the new "safety limits" construct.
* The Web Server's handling of large files is improved, and its
latency for long-running request handlers is reduced.
