* Incremental garbage-collection mode can eliminate long pauses in a
program. For example, incremental mode is useful for avoiding pauses
in games and animations.
Programs must specifically request incremental mode with
`(collect-garbage 'incremental)`, but libraries such as
`2htdp/universe` include the request as part of the library's
implementation.

I don't think these need an entry.

* The default package catalog is an HTTPS address instead of HTTP, and
package operations properly validate server certificates when using
HTTPS.

Nothing to mention here. (Version 6.3 was signed for Windows, and that
change just adapts the build infrastructure to better automate signing.)

This seems too small for the release announcement.

Covered above.

The former is a bug fix, and Robby has covered the latter.
