Hello,

I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20140420.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:
- The chapter in the manual about the foreign function interface has
  been improved.
- A paragraph about regular expressions and lexical scanner functions
  has been added to the FAQ.
- The handling of the actions CHR_CLIT and INT_STRI in the compiler
  has been improved. The string buffers for chrCLitToBuffer and
  intStrToBuffer use the correct alignment now.
- In big_rtl.c the functions bigParseBasedPow2 and bigParseBased2To36
  have been added and bigParseBased has been changed to call them.
  This improves the conversion of a string to a bigInteger, when the
  base is a power of two. Valgrind measurements of the function
  bigParseBased in chkbig.sd7 show a speed improvement with a factor
  of 239.
- The macros memcpy_to_strelem and memset_to_strelem (defined in
  striutl.h) have been turned into functions (defined in striutl.c).
- The unrolling in memcpy_to_strelem and memset_to_strelem has been
  changed from 8 times to 32 times. This improves the performance
  for big data amounts by 16% (Measured with valgrind and gcc).
- Usages of the macros memcpy_to_strelem and memset_to_strelem in
  bst_rtl.c, fil_rtl.c, soc_rtl.c and str_rtl.c have been turned into
  usages of the corresponding functions.
- Calls of cstri_expand, ustri_expand, cstri_expand2 and
  ustri_expand2 in analyze.c, chr_rtl.c, flt_rtl.c, infile.c,
  str_rtl.c and striutl.c have been turned into calls of
  memcpy_to_strelem.
- The functions (macros) cstri_expand, ustri_expand, cstri_expand2
  and ustri_expand2 have been removed from striutl.c and striutl.h.
- The functions doCompileAndLink, compileAndLinkWithOptionsOk,
  compileAndLinkOk, appendToFile and detemineDatabaseDefines have
  been added to chkccomp.c. The function compilationOkay has been
  replaced by compileAndLinkOk.

Regards,
Thomas Mertes
