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.
Changes: The chapters explaining operating system access, primitive actions, and exceptions in the manual were improved. The codepages 708, 862, 864, and 874 were added to the charsets.s7i library. The functions ‘remove’ and ‘rename’ were renamed to ‘removeFile’ and ‘moveFile’, and their functionality was changed such that removing a nonexistent file or moving to an existing file raises an exception. The compiler was improved to use the function floatLiteral to write occurrences of float literals to the generated C program. The toutf8.sd7 example program was improved to support more codepages.
