Seed7 2008-09-02 (Default branch)
Seed7 is a general purpose programming language.
It is a higher level language compared to Ada,
C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with
type results and type parameters are more elegant
than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and
not in places when other solutions are more
obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts
of other programming languages, it is generally
not considered as a direct descendant of any other
programming language.

The function getSymbolWithHtmlEntities and the ‘conj’ operator were added. Changes were made to support compilation when DO_HEAP_STATISTIC is defined. The file src/read_me.txt was improved. Various ‘reference’ functions were improved to raise RANGE_ERROR when a reference is NIL or does not have the required category.
