Hello,

I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20150720.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 about errors in the manual has been improved.
- In seed7_05.s7i parameter declarations without parameter name
  (which use the keyword 'param') have been changed to parameter
  declarations with parameter name.
- The compare functions in rational.s7i and bigrat.s7i have been
  improved.
- The compiler has been improved to use inline code for the integer
  compare function.
- Checks for the compare function have been added to chkint.sd7.
- Checks for hash tables with bigInteger, rational and bigRational
  keys have been added to chkhsh.sd7.
- Calls of logError have been added to pcs_unx.c, pcs_win.c,
  ref_data.c,
- Calls of logFunction have been added to big_rtl.c, blockutl.c,
  drw_win.c, flistutl.c, gkb_win.c, gkb_x11.c, heaputl.c, hshlib.c,
  identutl.c, infile.c, listutl.c, pcs_unx.c, pcs_win.c, ref_data.c,
  tim_dos.c, tim_unx.c, tim_win.c, trm_inf.c, typ_data.c, typeutl.c
  and typlib.c.
- In cc_conf.s7i, flt_act.s7i, cmd_rtl.c and common.h the
  configuration value MAX_INTEGER_IN_FLOATTYPE has been renamed to
  INT_RANGE_IN_FLOATTYPE_MAX.
- Documentation comments have been added to string.s7i, strlib.c and
  str_rtl.c.

Regards,
Thomas Mertes
