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: - The FAQ and the manual were improved to contain more links. The additional links improve also the Seed7 homepage. - Documentation comments were added to "boolean.s7i", "charsets.s7i" and "vectorfont.s7i" - Documentation comments were improved in "integer.s7i", "font.s7i", "duration.s7i", "enable_io.s7i", "listener.s7i", "scanfile.s7i", "poll.s7i", "shell.s7i" and "socket.s7i". - The function 'bigParse' in "big_rtl.c" was improved, to work up to 9 times faster. The bigInteger operator 'parse' is implemented with 'bigParse'. - The factorial operator (!) was added to "bigint.s7i". - A for-until-loop for 'bitset' was added to "seed7_05.s7i". - Tests for the 'parse' operator, when it parses integer literals with a + sign, were added to "chkbig.sd7". - Tests of the function 'compare' were added to "chkbool.sd7". - Tests of the bigInteger operator 'parse' were added to "chkexc.sd7". - The compiler was improved to generate better inline code for set membership (operator: in). - The example program "make7.sd7" was improved. Now it accepts := to assign a value to a macro. - The libraries "bigint.s7i", "float.s7i" and "math.s7i" were improved, to use 'in' parameters instead of 'ref' parameters. - Spaces at the end of the line were removed in "file.s7i", "ftp.s7i", "osfiles.s7i", "stdio.s7i", "pol_sel.c", "read_me.txt", "pol_unx.c" and "soc_rtl.c".
