Release for v6.7 is about to begin

[Vincent St-Amour]

The release process for v6.7 will begin in about a week. If
you have any new features that you want in and are relatively close
to being done, now is a good time to do that.

Would it be possible to update the sqlite DLL on windows platforms to a newer version?

Thanks,
Alex.

I would like to request that somebody take a look at this[1] pull
request that adds support for private git repos to the package
system before the release process. It’s not really urgent, so if
people have any concerns with it, I’m happy to leave it out of this
release, but if people think it looks okay, it would be really nice
for me to have access to it in v6.7.

I'd also like to advertise #1355 and #1464

https://github.com/racket/racket/pull/1355

https://github.com/racket/racket/pull/1464

#1355 lets the documentation search box filter by #langs.

Searching for "H:" returns a list of all valid #langs (like how "L:" returns all modules),

and you can combine it with normal queries, e.g. "Integer H:typed/racket".

Try "H:" in the docs here: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/types/racket-doc/search/index.html

(It also supports "R:" for reader modules.)

#1464 implements globbing for path strings,

for example `(glob "{foo,bar}*.rkt")` returns a list of paths to all ".rkt"

files in the current directory whose name starts with "foo" or "bar".

Alex,

As such library upgrades can cause breakage, it would be best to do it
right after the release. That way we have a full release cycle to
discover and fix any issues that may arise.

I plan to look into it after the release, but if you're interested in
investigating, that would be great! The process mostly involves
downloading newer sources, running scripts in "racket/src/native-libs"
on suitable platforms, and updating the library packages (which I can do
for you).
