[news 28]

We are pleased to announce version 0.17.3 of Vala, a compiler for the

GObject type system.

 

Vala 0.17.3 is now available for download at:

http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.17/

 

Changes since 0.17.2

* Require and target GLib >= 2.18.

Vala is a programming language that aims to bring modern programming

language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional

runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to

applications and libraries written in C.

 

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates

Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject

type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source

code.
