Hello,

I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20141019.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 compiler s7c has been improved to process the semicolon
  operator with reduced stack usage. Thanks go to Pietro Cerutti
  for pointing out problems with the available stack size under
  FreeBSD.
- In drw_x11.c the function redraw has been improved to ignore
  expose events when backing store is active. Thanks go to Brian
  Callahan for reporting problems with activated backing store
  under OpenBSD.
- The library makedata.s7i has been improved. Now conditional
  makefile parts with ifdef and ifndef are allowed. Now it is
  possible to use the ?= operator to assign a value to a variable.
  Now the value of a variable is taken from the environment, when
  it has not been defined in the makefile.
- The function setupStack has been moved from cmd_rtl.c to
  heaputl.c.
- The self extracting Seed7 installer for windows has been
  improved to allow downloading the latest Seed7 release.
- Tabs in various files have been replaced with spaces.

Regards,
Thomas Mertes
