Hello,

I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20120721.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:
- Documentation comments were improved in the libraries idxarray.s7i,
  array.s7i, dir.s7i, external_file.s7i, osfiles.s7i, duration.s7i
  and time.s7i.
- Parameter names were added to function definitions in the
  libraries array.s7i, bigfile.s7i, hash.s7i and idxarray.s7i.
- The compiler was improved to generate better inline code for set
  membership (operator: in).
- The functions 'cmdFileType' and 'cmdFileTypeSL' in "cmd_rtl.c" were
  improved to return FILE_ABSENT, when the file name is too long
  (stat() respectively lstat() return an error and errno has the
  value ENAMETOOLONG) or when the file name is an empty string.
- The new libraries subrange.s7i, ref_list.s7i and reference.s7i were
  added. The contents of this libraries were extracted from the
  seed7_05.s7i library.

Regards,
Thomas Mertes
