Thanks Eli, Ran all my code under 5.3.2 - looking good. I'm definitely interested in looking into the math lib.
BTW, ever since 5.3.1 (I think), the debugger acts a little different, in the variables pane it only shows the beginning of lists. How can I see the entire list? If I require planet code, when should I change to using the new system? If I move now what will happen to all the planet code that was compiled onto my system? Thanks again! -Joe On Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 8:20 PM, Eli Barzilay <e...@barzilay.org> wrote: > Racket version 5.3.2 is now available from > > http://racket-lang.org/ > > Core Libraries: > > * The new `math' library provides functions and data structures for > working with numbers and collections of numbers.
