SparForte 2.4 Released.

SparForte is my Ada-based open source shell, programming language and web template engine.  This release includes:


 19 new features and examples

  26 fixes (including the 1 from version 2.3.1)

   5 changes

Version 2.4 has been tested on Linux, FreeBSD and Raspberry Pi.

The focus of this release was on command line and shell improvements.

The download links are available at the SparForte website.  Please fill in the download poll so I know who is interested in the project.

There is a blog article for the major features:

Not mentioned in the blog, --colour/--color will enable colour text and  UTF-8 graphics in SparForte's messages. There is an equivalent pragma to enable it through a .sparforte_profile login file. It gives SparForte a more modern look.

I don't follow comp.lang.ada so follow up with any issues by email.

SparForte is a hobby and a volunteer project.  I do not earn money from it.

Thanks and enjoy.
