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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Martin [1] http://gnuada.sf.net -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net Ada programming at: http://ada.krischik.com
