Emacs Ada mode 5.0.1 available in Gnu ELPA

[Stephen Leake <stephen_leake@stephe-leake.org>]

Emacs Ada mode 5.0.1 is now available in Gnu ELPA.

It requires Emacs 24.3; I'm working on backporting to Emacs 24.2 for
Debian stable, and possibly 23.4.

This supercedes the Emacs Ada mode 4.0b that is in the Emacs
distribution; that will be removed in a future distribution.

To install from Gnu ELPA:

add to ~./emacs:

(package-initialize)

then invoke M-x list-packages, install Ada mode 5.0.1.

To install from source: download from
http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html

This is the long-awaited complete rewrite, supporting almost all Ada
2012 syntax (aspects are not there yet, but I already have one request
for them, so they will be soon). It has been alpha-tested by me and
several users on the Emacs Ada mode mailing list, so it is ready for
general use.

It is based on an OpenToken-generated grammar, which enables more
sophisticated navigation featurs (ie move from 'if' to 'then', 'else',
'end if' etc). It's also a _lot_ easier to maintain.

It also includes experimental support for the new GNAT cross-reference
tool gnatinspect, which handles C, C++, Ada.

For more info, see the updated Ada mode manual in the package in info format,
or at http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/ada-mode.html
