05 Jul 23:01 Seed7 2009-07-05

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.

Release Notes: 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. A new library named xml_ent.s7i, which supports XML entity handling, was added. Several scanner functions in scanfile.s7i and scanstri.s7i were added or improved. The interpreter (hi) and the compiler (comp.sd7) were improved to accept a UTF-8 byte order mark at the beginning of a file. The const qualifier was added in many *.c and *.h files.
