Hello,

I am newbe on using alire. I installed "alr" and it functions as hoped for.

Q1: 
where is the the compiler? As part of "alr"?

Q2: 
"alr toolchain" gives:
 CRATE       VERSION       STATUS    NOTES                               
 gprbuild    22.0.1        Default                                           
 gprbuild    2021.0.0+0778 Available Provided by system package: gprbuild
 gnat_native 12.1.2        Default     

Where do I find overview on what is in "gnat_native 12.1.2" (I assume it is the latest compiler version). Many Ada 2022 features there?

Q3:
How do I keep updated with the latest version (of the compiler)?
