[ats-lang-users] ATS2-0.3.13 released

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

Hi,

It is release time again :)

It is my great pleasure to announce the release
of ATS2-0.3.13.

First, many thanks to Brandon Barker for his generous
agreement to taking over the duty of packaging and releasing
ATS from this point on. Also, thanks to Richard Kent for
assisting us.

Note that we plan to remove the dependency on the GMP library
(in the default case) from the next release on.

------------------------------------------------

This is the 50th release of ATS2, the successor of the
ATS 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/

Here is a list of major additions and changes since the last release:

1. Fixing the issue of escaping '$' in PHP string literals (atscc2php)
   Kudos to M88!
2. Fixing very minor issues in libats/qlist and libats/linmap
3. Enforcing that no d2var can be leaked/exported from a namespace

Please note that starting in this release, there are two variants of the package
released: the "gmp" variant depends on the GMP library. The "int" variant does
not depend on the GMP library. In this release ATS2-Postiats-0.3.13.tgz is just
the same as ATS2-Postiats-gmp-0.3.13.tgz. This is subject to change in future
releases, as most users (especially new users) can get by without the extra
dependency on GMP.

Cheers,
