are not limited to):
New Homepage http://www.drscheme.org
drscheme:

mred:
- many new key- and mouse events

- Added 'unknown/mask and 'unknown/gif bitmap types
- New load handler, text-editor-load-handler
mzscheme:
- new module system
- No object or unit system is built into MzScheme.
- The core syntax system is hygienic;
- Modules can replace units where units are used merely for namespace
control
- The `struct' form is gone, replaced by a more flexible
`make-struct-type' form
- various process procedures have been moved to a new
MzLib library, "process.ss"
- The built-in regular-expression matcher works on input ports
- The mzc compiler supports a subset of the Gambit-C foreign-function
interface
teachpack:
- Fixed bug in convert.ss
- removed: pingp-play.ss pingp.ss protect-play.ss rectangle.ss
- all exported functions are primitive operators or higher order primitives
this improves error reporting behavior in the Beginner languages
- added servlet.ss and servlet2.ss
stepper:
- Total rewrite for new syntax. Addition of test suites.
Addition of somewhat more systematic macro unwinding.
Lots of bug fixes.
Remove `-p' from mkdir arguments, it is already part of ${MKDIR}.
While here substitute a couple of ${PREFIX} by `%D' in
`@exec ${MKDIR} ...' lines and add a couple of missing `%D' in such lines too!
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
