What is the situation with Janus Ada?

What is the situation with Janus Ada?

[Hubert]

I understand Randy is the person behind Janus Ada? Since I am yet to 
make a choice what compiler to use for my small projects here I would 
like to know what is the situation with this? I read some remarks in 
other threads which were not entirely clear.

So what is the status of it on Windows 32/64 and Linux? Is Mingw 
required on Windows? What language Standard is supported? I understand 
it is mostly Ada 95 but are there realistic plans to implement newer 
features? And what is the timeline?

Thanks

Not available for Linux.  I don't know if anybody has tested Janus/Ada
with WINE.

Ada 95.

No (known) timeline for newer features, but Object'Image is likely to
appear soon.

Using Janus/Ada with WINE works. I semi-regularly test my Ahven
library with Janus/Ada and WINE on Fedora Linux 20.

Mingw is not required, but Microsoft Windows SDK is (the one which
contains the linker and some libraries).

I am currently using Janus/Ada on 32-bit Windows XP, 64-bit Windows 7,
and 64-bit Windows 8.1. (WINE is set to use 32-bit mode.)
