Racket, a programming language suitable for scripting and application development, including GUIs and web services, is now at version 3.5.2.

Highlights of Racket 3.5.2:

• The new math library provides functions and data structures for working with numbers and collections of numbers; • The new file/untar, file/untgz, and file/unzip libraries support unpacking widely used archive formats; • The new lazy-require form allows programs to delay the loading and instantiation of helper modules until they are needed; • The new data/bit-vector library provides an implementation of bit vectors (a mutable sequence of booleans) supporting popcount; • The racket/generic library allows the specification of default method implementations for core datatypes; • Scribble now renders Markdown format files via the --markdown command-line flag.
