About:
Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level
language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.

Changes:
Some compiler improvements were done for sets and structs. A new graphic
function, copyArea, was added. Hashes were implemented for sets and types.
New time functions were added: dayOfYear, toGMT, and -:=. UTF-8 characters
may be used in string and char literals. New standard files were added:
STD_UTF8_IN, STD_UTF8_OUT, STD_UTF8_ERR. The file_type function was added
to get the type of a file.

strLit was added to support the compiler. Improvements in the bas (basic
interpreter) example program were done. For the bitset type a subrange
generator and a for-loop was added. Changes to allow line comments in
string literals were done. A statistic to count empty lines was removed.

now supports arrays with indices of any type (not just integer). A new
example program (mandelbr.sd7), to display fractals, was added. The -O2
option was added to the compiler (advantageous when compiling
mandelbr.sd7). A *:= operator and the sqrAbs function were added for the
type 'complex'. The reflection was changed to use 'getValue' instead of
the 'value' operator. The compiler was improved to support the conversion
of integers to an enumeration type. The compiler now compiles the programs
panic.sd7 and castle.sd7.

About:
Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level
language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.

Changes:
Chapters about complex numbers and symbol scanning were added to the
manual. Some makefiles were improved to avoid \n in echo commands. The
functions = and <> were added to the complex.s7i library. The
documentation comments in scanfile.s7i, scanstri.s7i, and bas7.sd7 were
improved. The functions skipLine and getLine were added to scanfile.s7i.
The strifile.s7i library, which supports string-based files, was added.
The functions filWrite and ut8Write were improved to raise FILE_ERROR when
fwrite() does not succeed. Support for the action flt_cast was added to the
interpreter and compiler.

Mon, Jul 7th 2008 23:12

About:
Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level
language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.

Changes:
Various FAQs about reserved words, user defined statements, static type
checking, garbage collection, container classes, primitive types, and the
difference between object and primitive types were added or improved. The
chapters about boolean, integer, bigInteger, rational, bigRational, float,
complex, char, string, and program in the manual were added or improved. A
contour was added to a building in the lander.sd7 example program. The
functions analyze and analyze_stri were renamed to parseFile and parseStri
respectively.

Seed7 2006-08-08
by Thomas Mertes (http://freshmeat.net/~thomas_mertes/)
Wed, Aug 9th 2006 03:53

About:
Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level
language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.

Changes:
A description of the 'func', 'varfunc', and 'proc' types was added to the
manual. The 'parse' operator for the 'time' type was improved. The '<=',
'>' and '<' operators were added for the 'duration' type. The Windows
graphic driver was improved to use the SetPixel function. The filOpen
function was changed to open files in binary mode.

Changes:
The hashtype was changend to maintain the size of the hash instead of
computing it. The &:= statement for the type ref_list was added. The
compiler was improved to support 'in var' parameters. A new include file
(complex.s7i) to support complex numbers was added. The support for the
bigIConv, bigOrd, cmdMkdir, drwPArc, drwPCircle, drwPFEllipse, filBigLng,
filBigSeek and filBigTell functions was added to the compiler.

Changes:
An explanation of multiple dispatch was added to the FAQ. A bug in the
'str' function for 'complex' was fixed. The interpreter was improved to
support startsWith, endsWith, array_min_position, heapstat, and @:= (for
ref_lists). The compiler suport for drw_cpy, ref_trace, arr_head,
arr_tail, arr_idx, varfunc, wintype, array literals, and dynamic functions
(for enumerations) was improved. The compiler now writes a message when an
uncaught exception was raised. The compiler was changed such that destr
functions also accept a NULL. The compiler now compiles snake.sd7 and
toutf8.sd7.

Changes:
The functions getSymbol, getWhiteSpace, getSymbolOrComment, and
getSimpleSymbol of the scanner.s7i library were created or improved. A new
example program (chkscan.sd7) to check the new scanner functions was added.
A bug in the planets.sd7 example program was fixed. The manual was
corrected to explain that the types "char" and "string" support UNICODE.
The UNICODE support of the actions cmd_ls, scr_write, and fil_open was
improved. The timezone handling to get the Greenwich Mean Time was
improved. A string in shisen.sd7 was enlarged to avoid a RANGE_ERROR
exception when accessing it.

Changes:
The interpreter and the compiler (comp.sd7) were improved to support the
functions bitLength, lowestSetBit, <<, <<:=, >>, and >>:= for integer and
bigInteger. The priority of the << and >> operators was changed from 19 to
9 in syntax.s7i. Uses of the obsolete file output operator << were replaced
with write in several files. The manual and the chkint.sd7 and chkbig.sd7
programs were improved. The compiler was improved to optimize some
functions. A boss mode was added to panic.sd7 and mahjong.sd7. The
bas7.sd7 (basic interpreter) example program was improved.
