I've updated the Racket Scheme programming environment on Athena to 6.0.
>From my message to users:

Racket on Athena has been updated to release 6.0. The main binaries are
named as before:

drracket (GUI programming environment)
gracket  (GUI implementation of the command-line interpreter) 
racket   (command-line interpreter)

This release will be made the default after the end of the current
semester. Until then, to run the 6.0 binaries, you will need to
immediately follow the binary invocation with a "-ver 60" switch. i.e

    add -f racket
    drracket -ver 60

you can follow this on the command line this with any other command line
switches the racket binaries usually allow. 

Release notes are at 
http://web.mit.edu/racket_v60/i386_ubuntu1204/racket/doc/release/index.html
