In short, OOC is an Internet based project providing an Oberon-2
development platform. It consists of
* an optimizing compiler,
* a number of source code and compiler related tools,
* a set of standard library modules, and
* a reference manual.
oo2c is the first complete working compiler of the OOC project.
Instead of translating Oberon-2 modules to machine code, it generates
code for the most portable assembler in existence: ANSI-C. The
compiler was initially intended as a prototype backend for OOC, which
could then be used to evaluate and debug the frontend and the
optimization modules. However, it is now a full-fledged development
system, and among other things, it is being used to develop native
code OOC backends.

Yabasic implements the most common and simple elements of the basic language;
It comes with goto/gosub, with various loops, with user defined subroutines
and Libraries. Yabasic does monochrome line graphics and printing.
Yabasic runs under Unix and Windows; it is small (around 200KB) and free.
with some minor modifications by me.

Changes to the Mercury language:
* Support for constrained polymorphic modes.
* Addition of state variable syntax.
* Improved support for higher-order functions.
* Predicate and function equivalence type and mode declarations.
* Support for defining predicates or functions
using different clauses for different modes.
* Support for Haskell-like "@" expressions.
* Generalized foreign language interface.
Changes to the Mercury compiler:
* A new `--make' option, for simpler building of programs.
* A new `--smart-recompilation' option, for fine-grained dependency tracking.
* A new optional warning: `--warn-non-tail-recursion'.
* A new optimization: `--constraint-propagation'.
* A new optimization: `--loop-invariants'.
* Support for arbitrary mappings from module name to source file name.
Portability improvements:
* Mac OS X is now supported "out-of-the-box".
* On Windows we now support generating non-Cygwin executables.
* Better conformance to ANSI/ISO C.
Changes to the compiler back-ends:
* The native code Linux/x86 back-end is now "release quality".
* The .NET CLR back-end is much improved.
Major improvements to the Mercury debugger, including:
* Support for source-linked debugging using vim (rather than emacs).
* Command-line completion.
* Ability to display values of higher-order terms.
* Declarative debugging.
* Support for transparent retries across I/O.
A new profiler, which we call the Mercury deep profiler or mdprof:
* Supports both time and memory profiling.
* Gathers information about individual call sites as well as procedures.
* Eliminates the assumption that all calls to a procedure have equal cost.
* Allows users to explore the gathered data interactively with a web browser.
Numerous minor improvements to the Mercury standard library.
A new testing tool in the extras distribution.

Changes:
*) Make pth_poll(3) more compliant to POSIX.1-2001/SUSv3 poll(2).
*) Make pth_select(3) more compliant to POSIX.1-2001/SUSv3 select(2).
*) Replaced pth_event_occurred() with pth_event_status().
*) Add Autoconf option --with-fdsetsize=NUM for enlarging FD_SETSIZE.
*) Added thread attribute PTH_ATTR_DISPATCHES.
*) Added sub-API pth_uctx_* for user-space context switching.
*) Add a Pth variant of the new POSIX pselect(2) function.
*) Internally cleaned up the error handling macros.
*) Added POSIX-compliant sanity checks for bad fds.
*) Added pth_nanosleep() function.
*) Allow a NULL name for pth_msgport_create()
*) Completely rewrote the "hard syscall mapping".
*) Added support to pth_poll(3) for POLLD{RD,WR}{NORM,BAND}.
*) Fixed a long-standing termination bug in pth_exit(3).
*) Upgraded to Autoconf 2.57, Shtool 1.6.2 and Libtool 1.4.3.
*) Add optional support for OSSP ex based exception handling.

Changes since 13-1.0.7:
- A de-serialized GregorianCalendar did not correctly handle the
Calendar.set(int field, int value) method.
- Java Plug-in Security Warning dialog did not show buttons.
- java.beans.Introspector returned results depending on the order
that classes were loaded by the Virtual Machine.
- A help viewer search would sometimes yield NullPointerExceptions,
and search hit highlighting was unstable.

using the SJIS character set.
- There was a system crash generating a Fatal: unhandled ci exception.
- Plugin regional locale parameters were incorrectly displayed.
- The VM crashed while running a large application.
- An application ignored the nohup(1) command, caught and processed
the SIGHUP signal, resulting in application exit with a return code
of 129.

focus was moved and then restored.
- SIGSEGV during C2 compilation of a method.

option for a non-rotating header and/or footer with a rotating middle.
