    process_itf_to_interface and process_ref_trace have been improved.

- Update to 05_20130303
  Changes:

    respectively bigInteger to a string. The conversion uses the
    numeral system with the given base.
  * The variants of the function str, which have a second parameter to
    specify a numeric base, are deprecated now and will be removed in a
    future release. The operators radix and RADIX should be used
    instead.

- Update to 05_20130120
  Changes:

  * Interpreter and compiler have been improved to support the option
    *l. This option allows adding a directory to the include library
    search path (e.g.: -l ../lib).
  * The compiler (s7c) has been improved to support the option -b.
    With -b the directory of the Seed7 runtime libraries can be
    specified (e.g.: -b ../bin).
  * The target s7c in the makefiles has been changed to take advantage
    of the options -l and -b. Now packages can compile the Seed7
    compiler without a post install step.
  * Additional function variants of parseFile, parseStri and execute
    have been added to the library progs.s7i. The new functions allow
    a detailed specification of parse and execution options.

    is s7.
  * Manual, FAQ, read_me files and several example programs were updated to
    use the new name of the Seed7 interpreter (s7).

    window, when the program was not started from a console.
  * Descriptions of the operators 'sci' and 'exp' were added to the manual.
  * Documentation comments were added to clib_file.s7i.

  * A variant of the function popen, with the parameters 'command' and

- Update to 05_20121125

  20121125:
  - The makefiles and the file setpaths.c were improved to accept the
    macros S7_LIB_DIR (Directory with static Seed7 object libraries)
    and SEED7_LIBRARY (Directory with the Seed7 include libraries).
    Now the build process of a package can call make e.g. with:
    make S7_LIB_DIR=/abc/seed7/bin SEED7_LIBRARY=/abc/seed7/lib depend
    This way the two paths are defined in version.h. This defines them
    as default paths in the interpreter executable and in the compiler.
  - An explanation, what a binary Seed7 package should install, was
    added to the FAQ. This can be used as guideline for Seed7 packages.
  - The description of the times-operator in the manual and in
    array.s7i was improved.
  - A description of the function name(PROGRAM), file(PROGRAM) and

- Update to 05_20121021

  Changes:

  - The library vecfont10.s7i, which defines the standard vector font
    with capital height 10, was added. Now mahjong.sd7 and shisen.sd7
    use vecfont10.s7i.
  - The programs mahjong.sd7, pairs.sd7, shisen.sd7 and sokoban.sd7
    were improved to fit into a screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768.
  - The library make.s7i was improved: The parsing of command
    parameters (used by the Unix version of the echo command), was
    improved. The processing of pattern rules was improved (The rule
    with the shortest stem value is used, when several rules match).
  - Functions to read a makefile were moved from make.s7i to the new
    library makedata.s7i.

- Update to 05_20121007

  Changes:

  - An error message, that could occur when the Seed7 interpreter is
    compiled, is explained in the FAQ and to 'src/read_me.txt'.
  - A description of the for-step-statement was added to the manual.
  - The library make.s7i was improved. Now makefile dependencies can
    contain colons (:) and equal signs (=). The parameters of the echo
    command are parsed better now. Calls of the function callOwnProgram
    are also avoided now. This way the library works correctly, when it
    is used by programs other than make7.sd7.
  - The library tar.s7i was improved to set the file mode, when an
    archive is extracted.

- update to 05_20120909

  Changes:

  * The function 'str' and the 'parse' operator were added to the
    library bstring.s7i.
  * The function readDir was added to the library tar.s7i.
  * A documentation comment was improved in the library bigint.s7i.
  * The generation of bstring constants in the compiler (comp.sd7) was
    improved.
  * The function intStrHex was renamed to intStrPow2Base in the files
    "int_rtl.c", "int_rtl.h" and in the compiler. The new function is
    used to convert an integer to a string, when the number base is a

- Update to 05_20120304

     improved.

     a C compiler warning about the change of a constant value.
   * The function 'redraw' in "drw_x11.c" was changed, such that it
     does not use a parameter of type 'XExposeEvent'.

config
    values C_COMPILER_VERSION and GET_CC_VERSION_INFO.
  - In the file "fil_rtl.c" the functions myLseek, myFseek and myFtell were

    in various sizes, was added.
  - The initialisation of the random number generator in the function
    uint_rand in "int_rtl.c" was improved.

    correct when the program is started.
  - In the "seed7_05.s7i" library the function "rpos" was overloaded to do a
    reverse search for a character in a string starting from a given position.
  - The files "str_rtl.c", "strlib.c", "primitiv.c" and the compiler were
