Pre-Release Checklist for v6.2

[Ryan Culpepper]

Reminder: This is a practice release. The new release process is
described at:

https://github.com/plt/racket/wiki/Release-process

Checklist items for the v6.2 release
(using the v6.1.90.900 release candidate build)

Search for your name to find relevant items, reply when you finish an
item (please indicate which item/s is/are done). Also, if you have any
commits that should have been picked, make sure that the changes are in.

Important: new builds are created without announcement, usually whenever
I pick a few commits. If you need to commit changes, please make sure
you tell me to pick it into the release branch.

--> Release candidates are at
--> http://pre-release.racket-lang.org

Please use these installers (or source bundles) -- don't test from
your own git clone (don't test the `master' branch by mistake!). To
get the tests, you can do this:

cd ...racket-root...
./bin/raco pkg install -i main-distribution-test

I pushed another commit to the release branch and will need to re-run
these tests after a new release candidate is ready.

Done.

The DrRacket and Redex repos have new commits on the release branch.

Passed.

Not done, because I have limited download capability at the moment.

Passed after adjusting the test suite. (Fun fact: apostrophe is a
MidLetter in Unicode 5.0, but not 7.0.)

Update pushed, needs merge to the release branch.

Done, but see below.

Here are some missing commits:

These would be nice:

commit 8fcb1b068bec991b97ff30a9e8d84bfc635122ff
Author: Matthias Felleisen <matt...@ccs.neu.edu>
Date: Sun Apr 5 18:26:51 2015 -0400
fixed expected outcome, was wrong

commit 459bc5028be1489b06f867ff997fdd568cce7220
Author: Matthias Felleisen <matt...@ccs.neu.edu>
Date: Sun Apr 5 18:18:27 2015 -0400 [m
fixed bug accidentally introduced in ... f8e247d583; Rackety


This one's critical:

commit 78ecfc594c10ff70ff8f970dca97e4eac3f3f55f
Author: Matthias Felleisen <matt...@ccs.neu.edu>
Date: Tue Mar 31 19:37:38 2015 -0400
get posn to work as pattern

The history is here:
cff9d72

I'll re-test this when the next one comes out.


(But I think I somehow messed up when I pushed last.)

What repository are these commits in? (I don't see them in the htdp repository.)

I don't see any test cases in this commit. If I understand correctly,
this is somehow to support new functionality (namely match)?

We didn't have the usual set of announcements and if we had you may
have gotten this commit in before the release branch was created, but
I think the rules now require release managers to check this over and
that's what I'd say to this commit at that stage in a non-practice
release, anyway.

They would be in htdp but I somehow succeeded in messing up again.
The short of it is that I lost the fixes and that I am in the
process of restoring them.

(I don't know how my htdp extra pkg on my laptop causes problems
every so often but it does/I do?. I have been trying to figure this
out with Matthew. No progress, neither last time nor now.)

Yeap. But this is not a new piece of functionality.
2htdp/abstraction is available in the test bundle,
with tests, it's just that posn doesn't work.

I'll fix and request permission when I have sorted
out things.

I double checked:

The test was in htdp/htdp-test/2htdp/tests/abstraction-use.rkt

all along.

Otherwise, I'd like these to go into the release:

This file seems to run in the current release candidate, so that
doesn't seem right.

I've cherry-picked 78912125, 504b64, and 0c2b9e7f4 to the release
branch in the htdp repo.

[Robby Findler]

I was confused: the posn-related commit does have the test case in it
and I've now pushed it to the htdp repo.
