AdaCore announces the immediate availability of the GNAT GPL 2005 Edition.

AdaCore is pleased to announce the release of the GNAT GPL 2005 Edition 
to provide Free Software developers, that is developers that distribute 
their work under the GPL (GNU General Public License), the latest and 
most advanced Ada 2005 software development environment.

As many of you know, the Ada programming language is undergoing a 
revision, called Ada 2005. Many of the new features in the revision are 
available in the GNAT GPL 2005 Edition, notably:

New language level features:
      - Abstract interface types to provide multiple inheritance
      - Task, protected and synchronized interfaces
      - Limited-with and Private-with clauses
      - Prevention of accidental overloading when overriding
      - Object.operation notation
      - General use of anonymous access subtypes
      - Limited aggregates
      - Access to constant parameters and null-excluding access
          subtypes
      - Unchecked_Unions for interfacing with C
      - Nested type extensions
      - Support for 16-bit and 32-bit characters

New standard libraries:
      - Container library
      - Complete definition of string subprograms (fixed, bounded,
           unbounded)
      - Directory operations

The GNAT GPL 2005 Edition, which is available free of charge from 
http://libre.adacore.com/, is licensed for Free Software development 
under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License (GPL). 
Implementation of the new Ada 2005 features is also available in GNAT 
Pro, which is licensed for all types of software development.
