  The main line of Chez Scheme is here: https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme There is more work to be done before release 10.0.

  Racket today and for several years now has already been using Chez Scheme, so any of the latest versions you download will be built that way. On all platforms. So, just download away, and you're good to go. Rather, this announcement is about going the other way around, and about merging changes back into Chez: when Racket was migrated to Chez several years ago, as a matter of practicality they had to fork it and significantly modify it to maintain feature parity with the existing implementation. The changes were very large; multiple new supported ISAs and ABIs, new compiler optimizations, an entirely new build system, etc. For years, nobody was totally clear about what would happen with this fork, but the hope was that it would all go back to the upstream Chez codebase. That is finally happening, and so this post is not about merging code from Chez into upstream Racket, but rather merging code from Racket back into upstream Chez. The hope is changes will soon be available as a new major Chez Scheme release, version 10.0, and so the fork and the upstream version will finally be unified. (Racket will likely continue to use its own fork of Chez scheme as a practical matter of engineering, but presumably it will only need very minor tweaks and small patches, if any, for it to work.)
