Re: Ada not mentioned in GCC 4.3 release notes

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

Download the MASTER version at Adacore.com!  It is still under Adacore 
modified GPL version 2. Also any changes that is may in GNAT Ada will 
be at Adacore web first, it may take 6 months before others become 
aware of those changes. And that because the chages will first appear 
in GNAT PRO first, which GNU has no control over, then Adacore will 
release the changes to the GPL version on their website. After which 
the GNU and other can obtain the changes at Adacore.

The copies that are at SF may or may not be complete!  Some of 
the features of Ada do not work between Archs as well as all 
Archs version are not archived. 

Plus, if you look at GNU website, you will see that they do not 
use SF either, they use their own web site archive. Which may or 
may not match the SF versions. And some do not match Adacore 
either which is a big problem with GNAT Ada.
