Does anyone know if the code will run on newer versions of Racket than 6.11?

The Github repo for the book says that the code "should run right out of the box on Racket version 6.11" (per a readme updated around September 2018). Does anyone know if the latest version of Racket (now at 7.4) is fully backwards compatible with 6.11 such that the book's code should run in the latest version?

Maybe nobody knows, but I thought I'd ask before installing a 2-year-old version of Racket. Thanks!

I haven't tested it recently, but it should be fine. Nothing fancy in the code.
