    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:

    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.

- 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.

    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.

    library makedata.s7i.

    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

    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

     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'.
