[ats-lang-users] Subject: ATS2-0.2.10 released

[Hongwei Xi <hw...@bu...>]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release of ATS2-0.2.10.

This is the 33rd release of ATS2, the successor of the
ATS (currently referred to as ATS1) programming language. The
compiler for ATS2 is given the name ATS/Positats, ATS2/Postiats
or simply Postiats.

######

The official website for ATS is:

http://www.ats-lang.org

ATS-Postiats is hosted at github:

https://github.com/githwxi/ATS-Postiats

Major releases of ATS2 are available at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ats2-lang/

Major releases of external packages for ATS2 are available at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ats2-lang-contrib/

A google-group for discussing ATS and related issues is at:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/ats-lang-users

######

The following packages are included in this release:

ATS2-Postiats-0.2.10.tgz # requiring libgmp
ATS2-Postiats-contrib-0.2.10.tgz # contributed packages
ATS2-Postiats-include-0.2.10.tgz # CATS-files w/ BSD-like license

I have included ATS2-Postiats-contrib (instead of releasing it
separately) as it is truly by now an indispensible part of ATS2.

After installing ATS-Postiats-include, one can compile the C code
generated from ATS source without installing the ATS compiler. So
a convenient way to distribute software written in ATS is to simply
release the C code generated from the ATS source.

See below for some major additions and changes since the last release
(ATS2-0.2.9).
