    PLT Scheme v299.400 is now available from

        http://download.plt-scheme.org/

    THIS IS A v300 ALPHA RELEASE. Teachers and students using DrScheme
    with "How to Design Programs" should wait for the final v300 release,
    which will occur close to a new semester. This release is to make a few
    bug fixes available.

    * Fixed a bug that could corrupt files saved in DrScheme's binary
      format (as opposed to plain text). The bug was specific to Windows
      and version 299.200.

    * Fixed a bug in foreign vectors on Mac OS X.

    * The configuration file for the web-server has changed. Please refer
      to the documentation or the included default for the change.

    The v300 series (including v299.400) is incompatible with the v200
    series. The most significant incompatibilities include (1) support
    for Unicode breaks old programs that treat characters as bytes or
    pathnames as strings; (2) case-sensitivity is now the default; and (3)
    the built-in exception hierarchy has been revised.
