Pre-Release Checklist for v6.3

[Ryan Culpepper]

Checklist items for the v6.3 release
(using the v6.2.901.900 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

*** Note: some of the usual build variants aren't available yet.
I hope to have them ready later today.

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

Passed.

Passed after a minor update, which is ready to merge.

Failed. Something has gone wrong with `eval`, probably due to the
macro-system change.

The pre-release build for Windows doesn't work at all.

Passed for normal installers, but a natipkg build isn't yet available.

Ready to merge.

No changes.

Passes.

Passes, but starting MzCOM opens a console window. I've pushed a
repair.

Passes.

There seems to be no output from these, whereas usually there's either oks or errors that have to be spot checked. Matthew, has anything changed recently in the test harness that the unit system uses?

These are fine.

There were a couple of changes to unit contracts needed to support units in Typed Racket, as part of that Vincent and I modified the test suite to use rackunit and more thoroughly check expected error messages. As a result there is no longer any output unless a test case fails.

If you run "raco test test-unit-contracts.rkt" you should see a count
of the number of tests that passed.

Yep, got it. Thanks, Robby and Dan!

Ryan, everything's clear on my side, then.

FrTime had been broken by changes to "match". GitHub won't let me push a fix to racket/frtime, so I forked it and created a pull request:

pass

fail (including regular stepper tests)
But a few commits to the test engine by Robby appear to fix things.
Will re-run tests when they are merged.
