Hi all,

I've just released SweetAda 0.10.

SweetAda is a lightweight development framework to create Ada systems on a =
wide range
of machines. Please refer to https://www.sweetada.org.

Release notes       @ https://www.sweetada.org/release_notes.html.
Downloads available @ https://sourceforge.net/projects/sweetada.

This release comes with a huge cleanup of the whole system, with many chang=
es in all areas. The build system seems pretty efficient and stable, with n=
o redundant actions, and is able to accomodate a large set of configuration=
.

The profile agrees with Ravenscar, and all platforms tested run OK, albeit =
many of them in a very simple manner. Interrupt handling is for some CPUs s=
till only a placeholder, but many of them are able to handle at least a sim=
ple timer in order to have a raw notion of time.

There is a Monitor module (very exemplary) to do user interaction and the S=
record module that could be used as a built-in tool to execute fragments of=
 code. The Time module should provide basic capabilities in order to manipu=
late a datetime.

Many other changes, large cosmetic refinements and an improved documentatio=
n. Syntax changes to adhere Ada 2012/202x and some generics removed from I/=
O layers to simplify the code and gain speed.

With SweetAda 0.10, I provide also new toolchains based on GCC 11.3.0 (rele=
ase-20220429), you can found them at SweetAda home or at SourceForge. QEMU =
emulators are bumped at 7.0.0 (release-20220504).

Unfortunately, I cannot longer provide OS X toolchains due to increasing di=
fficulties in building the software (GCC and LLVM disagree on the syntax of=
 some CPU instructions), and lack of time, sorry. But this shouldn't be a p=
roblem since SweetAda should be toolchain-agnostic.
