Pre-Release Checklist for v6.2

[Ryan Culpepper]

Checklist items for the v6.2 release
(using the v6.1.91.900 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
