Seed7 version 2026-07-11 released

I have released version 2026-07-11 of Seed7 . Seed7 is about portability , maintainability , performance and memory safety . There is an automatic memory management without a garbage collection process (which might stop the world). The templates / generics don't need syntax with angle brackets. Seed7 is an extensible programming language. The syntax and semantics of the language is not hard-coded in the compiler but defined in libraries. Seed7 checks for integer overflow . You either get the correct result or an OVERFLOW_ERROR is raised. Unlike Java Seed7 compiles to machine code ahead of time (GRAAL works ahead of time but it struggles with reflection). Unlike Java Seed7 operators can be overloaded . Unlike C, C++, Go, Zig, Odin, Nim and C3 Seed7 is a memory safe language. The standard libraries cover many application areas. Example programs are: make7 , bas7 , pv7 , tar7 , ftp7 , comanche and many more. This release consists of 1029 commits from several contributors (thanks to them). Notable changes in this release are: Many improvements have been triggered by the Seed7 community. Support for the PCX image file format has been added and the support for BMP , TGA , JPEG and TIFF has been improved. Protections against stack overflow and shell injection have been added. Checks for the result and the parameters of primitive actions have been added. Several database drivers have been improved. A detailed change log can be found at r/seed7 or GitHub . This release is available at GitHub and SF . There is also a Seed7 installer for windows , which downloads the newest version from GitHub and SF. The Seed7 Homepage is now at https://seed7.net . There is a demo page with Seed7 programs compiled to JavaScript/WebAssemly. Please let me know what you think, and consider starring the project on GitHub, thanks! submitted by /u/ThomasMertes [link] [留言]
