Seed7 Release 2011-05-22

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20110522.tgz
In the Seed7 programming language new statements and operators
can be declared easily. Types are first class objects and therefore
templates/generics need no special syntax. Object orientation is
used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious.

Seed7 is covered by the GPL (and LGPL for the Seed7 runtime library).

Changelog:
- FAQ answers, explaining that Seed7 is not a descendant of Pascal
  and how Seed7 uses abstract data types, were added.
- Documentation comments were added or improved in the files
  "bigfile.s7i", "bigint.s7i", "bigrat.s7i", "binary.s7i", "cgi.s7i",
  "charsets.s7i", "complex.s7i", "encoding.s7i", "float.s7i",
  "getf.s7i", "gzip.s7i", "inifile.s7i", "keybd.s7i", "rational.s7i",
  "shell.s7i", "socket.s7i", "strifile.s7i", "stritext.s7i",
  "time.s7i", "utf16.s7i", "utf8.s7i", "fil_rtl.c" and "ut8_rtl.c".
- The new libraries "color.s7i", "enable_io.s7i",
  "external_file.s7i", "file.s7i", "null_file.s7i", "osfiles.s7i",
  "stdio.s7i", and "text.s7i" were added. The contents of this
  libraries were extracted from the "seed7_05.s7i" library. Programs,
  which need functionality from "text.s7i", "osfiles.s7i" or
  "color.s7i", must now include them.
- To keep basic compatibility, the "stdio.s7i" library is included
  from "seed7_05.s7i", but in a future version this may change. To
  cope with this change programs, which use standard I/O, should
  include "stdio.s7i".
- The interpreter and the runtime library were improved to support
  forward declarations of variables (the action DCL_FWDVAR is used
  for this purpose).
- All usages of the function 'fileExists' and its definition in the
  "seed7_05.s7i" library, were removed. The functions 'fileType' and
  'fileOpenSucceeds' can be used as replacement.
- Checks for 'sqrt' were added to the "chkbig.sd7" program.
- The bigInteger 'sqrt' function was improved, to return 0_ for
  sqrt(0_) instead of raising an exception.
- The logic of 'null_file' and 'socket' was changed, such that the
  functions 'length', 'seek' and 'tell' raise FILE_ERROR (This files
  are not seekable).
- The function 'replaceHexChars' in "cgi.s7i" was renamed to
  'fromPercentEncoded'.
- The function 'removeUtf16SurrogatePairs' in "charsets.s7i" was
  renamed to 'replaceUtf16SurrogatePairs'.
- The new function 'openSocket' was introduced in "socket.s7i".
- Unnecessary definitions were removed from "graph.s7i".

Greetings Thomas Mertes
