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 call-by-name and how it is implemented in Seed7, were added. - The "ftpserv.sd7" example program was improved to work with various ftp client programs. - The speed of the function 'socLineRead' in "soc_rtl.c" was improved (this function implements getln() for sockets). - The Unicode support of the "ftp.s7i" library and the "ftp7.sd7" example program was improved. - Documentation comments were improved in "poll.s7i" and "osfiles.s7i". - The files "pol_sel.c" and "pol_unx.c" were improved to use the const qualifier. - The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to generate optimized code for the actions "STR_ELEMCPY" and "STR_POSCPY" (which were used by the @:= operator). - Testcases for the @:= operator were added to "chkstr.sd7". - The program "chkccomp.c" was changed to include "version.h" and to define OS_OFF_T_SIZE. This way "chkccomp.c" can use the macro definitions for os_off_t, TURN_OFF_FP_EXCEPTIONS and DEFINE_MATHERR_FUNCTION from "version.h" instead of "chkccomp.h". - The files "cmd_rtl.c" and "fil_rtl.c" were changed to use the macro OS_OFF_T_SIZE. - In "osfiles.s7i" the type 'fileType' was introduced as result type for 'fileType' and 'fileTypeSL'. - The function 'str' for the type 'fileMode' was improved in "osfiles.s7i". - The number of calls of fileno() was reduced in "con_cap.c", "con_tcp.c", "kbd_inf.c" and "kbd_poll.c". - Result variables were renamed in "external_file.s7i", "ftp.s7i", "osfiles.s7i", "shell.s7i", "socket.s7i", "string.s7i", "tar.s7i", "utf16.s7i", "utf8.s7i" and "ftpserv.sd7".
