Hello.
I would like to request a pair of 8.11 and 8.12 tracks for the racket snap. This will allow installation of the preferred version of racket on a given system.

Hi,
Per Process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks 2, we need a 1-week voting/discussion period, so I’ll check back on the discussion and votes in a few days.
I have three questions before casting my vote.
racket
’s release cadence, how often is a new major version (potentially requiring a new track) released? Is this documented somewhere by upstream?Thanks,
Odysseus
Racket release history shows that a new release is made roughly once a quarter https://github.com/racket/racket/releases - although I could not find any documented policy.
There’s occasional point release but I don’t think there’s explicit support commitment. For instance 8.11 was followed by a bugfix-only 8.11.1
This is the interesting part. I think in general racket is a sane language, but the request for new tracks was directly triggered by this removal from 8.12:
- The “Die Macht der Abstraktion” language levels are no longer present, replaced by the “Schreibe dein Programm” language levels which have been available for several years. (see DeinProgramm - Schreibe Dein Programm! )
+1 from me - racket
appears to have a sensible use-case for tracks between the old 8.11 and the new 8.12 release.
Hi,
+1 from me as a reviewer. Both tracks have been successfully created.
Thanks,
Odysseus
