Seed7 Release 2009-04-13

Hello,


I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20090413.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:
- A description of data struct elements was added to the chapters
    rational, bigRational, complex, color and time in the manual.
- A description of the functions fileTypeSL, getATime, getCTime,
    getMTime, setATime, setMTime and removeAnyFile was added to the
    chapter 'OS access' in the manual.
- The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to correctly handle hashtables
    as elements of structs.
- The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to to generate dispatcher
    functions which copy a reference to a value when the interface
    needs the value itself (the value is used and possibly freed
    afterwards by the caller).
- The functions getXmlTagHeadOrContent in the scanfile.s7i and
    scanstri.s7i libraries were improved to correctly read the head of
    empty element tags when they have no attributes (E.g: The tag head
    of "<aTag/>" is "<aTag" ).
- The functions getXmlCharacterReference and skipXmlTag were added to
    the scanfile.s7i library.
- The ENABLE_SORT template function, which allows the generation of a
    sort function, was added to the seed7_05.s7i library.
- The functions fileTypeSL, cloneFile and copyFile were added to the
    seed7_05.s7i library.
- The functions str_dd_mm_yyyy, str_hh_mm, timestamp1970, time and
    getCTime were added to the time.s7i library.
- The function alternate_localtime_r in the file tim_win.c was
    improved to correctly handle daylight saving time.
- The tarx.sd7 example program was improved to use the function
    timestamp1970.


Greetings Thomas Mertes
