[gnuada] R7 has been released

Hallo,

The GNU Ada Project [1] just released the 7th generation of Ada compiler
distribution. This i a major release with lots of new functionality and
extended Ada 2005 support.

From the release notes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The R7 release is based on GCC 4.2.0 and GPL 2007 - both
version now offer Ada 2005 features.

First version to be released is SuSE 10.2 x86_64. 64 bit
support is significantly improved and most of the
special 64 bit patches are not needed any more. Still
AdaCore won't supply GNAT/GPL for 64 platforms.

ASIS is not available GNAT/GCC 4.2.0 as the current ASIS
code is incompatible - we hope to get them in sync with
GCC 4.3.0 again.

GPS is not available for GNAT/GPL 2007 as the new GPS 4.1.0
is not compatible with GNAT/GPL 2007. We might provide an
older version later.

GNAT/GCC features all main GCC languages for convenient
multi language development. GNAT/GPL has been reduced to
just Ada and C - which reduces the download and
installation foodprint.

All tools have all been updated and Z-Shell has been added
to the list tools. Z-Shell is more advanced then bash and
forlot of the tricky hacks needed for bash could be
replaced with simpler and easier to understand techniques.
We also work on a gnat aware command line competion for
Z-Shell.
