Seed7 Release 2009-07-05

Hello,


I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20090705.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 explaining the function 'getenv' in the manual was
    improved.
- The dom.s7i library was renamed to xmldom.s7i and its functionality
    was improved.
- A new library named inifile.s7i, which allows reading key value
    pairs from an INI file, was added.
- The functions getLineComment, getLine, skipXmlComment,
    getXmlTagHeadOrContent, skipXmlTag, getNextXmlAttribute and
    getNextHtmlAttribute in scanfile.s7i were added or improved.
- The functions getSymbol, skipXmlComment, getXmlTagHeadOrContent,
    skipXmlTag, getNextXmlAttribute and getNextHtmlAttribute in
    scanstri.s7i were added or improved.
- The function isDigitString was added to the seed7_05.s7i library.
- The functions open_utf16le and open_utf16be in the utf16.s7i
    library were improved.
- A new library named xml_ent.s7i, which supports XML entity
    handling, was added.
- The compiler comp.sd7 was improved to create more prototype
    definitions of extern library functions.
- The interpreter (hi) and the compiler (comp.sd7) were improved to
    accept a UTF-8 byte order mark at the beginning of a source or
    include/library file.
- The types gmpBiginttype and rtlBiginttype in the files big_gmp.c
    and big_rtl.c were replaced with biginttype (defined in common.h).
- The function bigLowestSetBit in big_rtl.c was improved to raise
    RANGE_ERROR when the result does not fit in an integer.
- The function move_any_file in cmd_rtl.c was improved to raise
    FILE_ERROR when the file cannot be renamed.
- The function hsh_idx in hshlib.c was improved to work correctly
    when the hash is destroyed after indexing.
- The const qualifier was added in many *.c and *.h files.
- Several makefiles were changed to use BIGINT_LIB_DEFINE and
    BIGINT_LIB to decide about the big integer library (big_rtl.c or
    big_gmp.c).
