The functions 'copyFile', 'removeFile', 'signOn', and 'signOff' were added or improved. The example programs "gkbd.sd7" and "panic.sd7" were improved. The function 'readDir' was added as a replacement for 'read_dir'. The functions 'open_dir' and 'open_dir_path' were renamed to 'openDir' and 'openDirPath' respectively. Several functions were moved from "drw_x11.c" to "gkb_x11.c". A description of several macros was added to "src/read_me.txt".
Release Notes: FAQ answers, explaining call-by-name and how it is implemented in Seed7, were added. The "ftpserv.sd7" program was improved to work with various FTP client programs. The speed of 'socLineRead' (getln() for sockets) in "soc_rtl.c" was improved. The Unicode support of "ftp.s7i" and "ftp7.sd7" was improved.

Release Notes: Documentation comments were improved in several Seed7 library files. Testcases for the operators "sci" and "exp" in "chkflt.sd7" were changed to succeed on all supported platforms. The compiler was improved, to create better debugging information for compiler-generated (DYNAMIC) dispatcher functions. The compiler was improved to define and use the macro "do_setjmp" and to work correctly for empty programs. The program "chkccomp.c" was improved to write preprocessor macros, which describe the floating point rounding of "printf". Result variables were renamed in several *.s7i files.
Release Notes: Documentation comments were improved in several files. The operators 'sci' and 'exp', which write floating point values in scientific notation, were added to "float.s7i".
