Branch: CURRENT, Version: 8.11.1nb8, Package name: racket-8.11.1nb8, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Racket (formerly PLT Scheme) is a specific dialect of the Lisp
language based on the Scheme branch of the Lisp family.

It is suitable for implementation tasks ranging from scripting
to application development, including GUIs, web services, etc.
It includes programming environment, a virtual machine with
a just-in-time compiler, tools for creating stand-alone
executables, web server, extensive libraries, documentation
for both beginners and experts, and more. It supports the
creation of new programming languages through a rich, expressive
syntax system.

Marc Baudoin reported problems with using old binary packages
with the new libkxbcommon, so force everything to 1.7.0

Log message:
lang/racket, lang/racket-textual: Try to make this build on macOS.

Don't have macOS handy to test but it looks like this'll be required,
judging by the bulk logs.  Worst case, the build will fail in a
different way on macOS.

Log message:
lang/racket: Use ${PREFIX}, not my dev tree in my home directory!

Not sure how I managed to break this for lang/racket, but not for
lang/racket-textual.

Log message:
lang/racket{,-textual}: update to 8.11.1

8.11.1:

    This bug-fix release repairs a problem with building from source when using \ 
the “builtpkgs” source distribution.

8.11:

    Match clauses can include a #:do option to allow evaluation of code and \ 
bindings before a following #:when clause. See match.

    JSON Serialization supports indentation with an #:indent option to \ 
write-json. See write-json.

    An initiate-sequence function simplifies the creation of sequences. See \ 
initiate-sequence.

    The :do-in form allows an inner definition sequence. See :do-in.

    The redex-define form allows pattern-matching in PLT Redex using a \ 
define-like syntax. See redex-define.

    Racket and Chez Scheme use Robert L. Smith’s “Algorithm 116” for \ 
division of complex numbers. See Robert L. Smith. 1962. Algorithm 116: Complex \ 
division. Commun. ACM 5, 8 (Aug. 1962), 435. \ 
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/368637.368661.

    DrRacket has indentation guides that provide visual cues indicating how code \ 
is indented and grouped, accessible by using (<menu-key>-shift-i). See \ 
text:indent-guides<%>.

    “Comment-out” menu items can be specific to the #lang used by the \ 
current file. See Comments.

    Unused identifiers have a tooltip indicating that they have no bound occurrences.

    Quickscript includes a new form of scripting in the form of “hook” \ 
functions that can be attached to existing events. See Hooks.

    Plots include plot-inset and plot-legend-padding parameters to control the \ 
amount of space left unused around the plot edge and plot legend. See \ 
plot-inset.

    There are many other documentation improvements, optimizations, and bug fixes!
