Seed7 Release 2018-01-07

Hello,


I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20180107.tgz
The download is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/seed7/files
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:
- Interpreter and compiler have been improved to allow support
    for case statements with hashsets in the when parts. This allows
    e.g. case statements with string, bigInteger, type and other
    expressions.
- Several discrepancies between s7 and s7c have been fixed. Many
    thanks go to "tipd bmp" who sent a example programs to show the
    discrepancies. Thanks also for finding a bug in the manual.
- The following type conversion functions from integer have been
    introduced: bigInteger(), bigRational(), bitset(), boolean(),
    char(), float(), rational() and complex(). This fits to the
    existing conversion functions bin32() and bin64().
- The files bigrat.s7i, filesys.s7i, int_act.s7i, s7c.sd7, chkdb.sd7,
    dnafight.sd7, printpi1.sd7, printpi2.sd7 and savehd7.sd7 have been
    adjusted to use bigInteger() instead of the conv operator to
    convert an integer to a bigInteger.
- The function bigRational, which converts a string to a bigRational
    number, has been added to bigrat.s7i.
- The function rational, which converts a string to a rational
    number, has been added to rational.s7i.
- In rational.s7i the operator 'parse' has been improved to convert
    a string with a decimal number to a rational number.
- The functions float2Bits and bits2Float in bin32.s7i and bin64.s7i
    are deprecated and will be removed in a future version. The
    functions bin32(), bin64() and float() can be used instead to
    convert between float and bits in IEEE 754 representation.
- The programs bas7.sd7 and chkbin.sd7 have been changed to use the
    functions bin32(), bin64() and float() instead of float2Bits and
    bits2Float.
- Definitions of the operators |:= and &:= have been added to
    hashsetof.s7i.
- The library seed7_05.s7i has been improved to support case
    statements which consist just of an otherwise part.
- The program chkprc.sd7 has been improved to check integer and char
    case statements with otherwise part.
- The program chkprc.sd7 has been improved to check string,
    bigInteger and float case statements with and without otherwise
    part.
- The program chkbig.sd7 has been improved to check the bigInteger()
    conversion function.
- The program chkflt.sd7 has been improved to check the float()
    conversion function.
- Interpreter and compiler have been improved to support the actions
    BIG_ICONV1, BIG_ICONV3, BLN_ICONV1, BLN_ICONV3, CHR_ICONV1,
    CHR_ICONV3, FLT_ICONV1, FLT_ICONV3, SET_ICONV1, SET_ICONV3 and
    REF_ALLOC_VAR.
- The handling of CONSTENUMOBJECT and VARENUMOBJECT objects in
    s7c.sd7 has been improved.
- The functions initCaseLabelsOfWhen, initCaseLabelsOfCase and
    initCaseLabels have been added to s7c.sd7.
- In biglib.c the function big_div_rem has been improved to generate
    quotient and remainder as variable elements.
- The function getConstant has been added to comp/const.s7i.
- The functions getGenericValueOfVariableObject and
    getParameterAsVariable have been added to comp/expr_util.s7i.
- The logError error messages in fil_rtl.c have been improved.
- The function refAllocVar has been added to ref_data.c.
- Documentation comments have been added or improved in bin32.s7i,
    bin64.s7i, sql_base.s7i, propertyfile.s7i, bitset.s7i, browser.s7i,
    bitsetof.s7i, actlib.c, arr_rtl.c, big_gmp.c, big_rtl.c, binlib.c,
    cmdlib.c, drw_rtl.c, flt_rtl.c, set_rtl.c, sql_lite.c, sql_my.c,
    sql_oci.c, sql_odbc.c, sql_post.c, sql_rtl.c
