Seed7 Release 2010-11-21

Hello,


I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20101121.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 chapters explaining integer and bigInteger in the manual were
    improved.
- Several improvements and a bugfix were done in the "gzip.s7i"
    library.
- The function openGunzipFile and other functions to support a
    gunzipFile were added to the "gzip.s7i" library.
- The "tar7.sd7" (tar archiving utility) example program was
    improved.
- The function getCStringLiteralText was added to the "scanstri.s7i"
    library.
- The function timeInTimeZone was added to the "time.s7i" library.
- Several tests of the integer power operator (**) were added to the
    "chkexc.sd7" program.
- The function check_power in the "chkint.sd7" program was improved.
- The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to generate better code for
    the actions INT_POW and BIG_IPOW.
- The compiler was improved to use string slices for the actions
    STR_HEAD, STR_RANGE, STR_SUBSTR and STR_TAIL.
- The compiler and the files "seed7_05.s7i", "arrlib.c" and
    "arr_rtl.c" were improved to allow appending an element to an array
    with the &:= operator.
- String and array indexing functions in the compiler were improved.
- The file "seed7/read_me" was renamed to "seed7/read_me.txt".
- The function cmdConfigValue in "cmd_rtl.c" was improved to support
    the config values ALLOW_STRITYPE_SLICES and CC_SOURCE_UTF8.
- Several makefiles were changed such that #undef commands are not
    written to the file "version.h".
- Alternate versions of strAppend and strCopy, which support string
    slices, were added to the file "str_rtl.c".
- The functions strHeadSlice, strRangeSlice, strSubstrSlice and
    strTailSlice were added to the file "str_rtl.c".
- The memory management of strings in the files "heaputl.c" and
    "heaputl.h" was improved to support string slices.
- The files "ref_data.c", "reflib.c", "infile.c", "infile.h",
    "error.h", "info.c", "info.h", "match.c" and "runerr.c" were
    changed to improve the action REF_FILE.
- Parameter names were added to the prototypes in the *lib.h files.
- The function strLpadTemp was added to the file "str_rtl.c" and used
    in the compiler.


Greetings Thomas Mertes
