I last used Ada about 10 years ago, and only ever used Ada 83. Is
there a quick-and-simple summary of what's changed in Ada 95 and since
that I can download?

What I really want is something short-and-sweet and focused on the
main changes - what changed, quick rationale, quick example, move on.
No for-morons endless tedious and distracting waffle making it
impossible to find the useful stuff.

I have found some books available online, but they all assume the
reader has never used Ada at all, and also that the reader has never
programmed before - not that that's an unusual assumption in
programming language books for some reason.

Any suggestions?

TIA
