Indeed. In don't' know if you know how it works:

AdaCore develops GNAT/Pro and GNAT/GPL on and old stable gcc - currently
4.1.x but - and this is the interesting part - they commit the changes
to /trunc - currently 4.3.

GNAT/Pro and GNAT/GPL are reported to have all Ada 2005 features (but if
they are working properly is a different story - as allways with new
features).

4.2.0 is currently in between. So 4.2 will have most of the features but
probably not all. There are no official announcements for 4.2.0 - so it is
all guesswork.

Since AdaCore currently commits there changes to 4.3 I would think that 4.3
is a good candidate for "all features" which "almost work properly".

Again: guesswork. Official Timetables are for paying customers. And I can
understand them: Paying customers put there steak (or frogs) on there
plate ;-) .
