Seed7 Release 2008-09-21

Hello,


I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20080921.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 about object orientation and primitive actions in the
    manual, were improved.
    (see http://seed7.sourceforge.net/manual/objects.htm
      and http://seed7.sourceforge.net/manual/actions.htm)
- The primitive actions BIG_MCPY, FLT_HSIN, FLT_HCOS and FLT_HTAN
    were renamed to BIG_MULT_ASSIGN, FLT_SINH, FLT_COSH and FLT_TANH
    respectively.
- The bas7.sd7 (basic interpreter) example program was improved.
- The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to support the primitive
    actions CHR_CONV, FLT_PLUS, PRG_MATCH_EXPR, REF_CAT_PARSE, REF_CONV
    and REF_SETVAR.
- The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to support HASHOBJECT
    constants.
- A binary gcd function (binaryGcd) was added to the gcd.sd7 example
    program.
- The X11 keyboard driver was improved to support the num-lock
    functionality.
- The functions hash_data_to_list and hash_key_to_list were added to
    the file listutl.c
- The is_var function defined in progs.s7i library was renamed to
    isVar.
- The functions matchExpr, setVar, hash_data_to_list and
    hash_key_to_list were added to the progs.s7i library.
