I've downloaded GNAT GPL-2006, and it compiles all of my SAL and
Auto_Text_IO code, and passes all tests, without problems. I think
this is a first for a public GNAT release!

So I'm releasing a new version of SAL (2.00) and Auto_Text_IO (3.03).
Support for GNAT 3.15p is now removed, making some things simpler;
I've started using some Ada 2005 features (mainly 'raise ... with
<string>;'.

There are lots of improvements in SAL; it's been almost two years
since the last release, and I've been improving it a lot for work. The
biggest additions are support for left- and right-multiply quaternions
(a somewhat obscure topic, but it took a lot of effort :), and many
more features for config files.

Auto_Text_IO hasn't changed much.
