Note the update of oo2c to 2.0.10.
From the release notes: This release is unfortunately a bit late and incorporates a whole bunch of very different changes. The biggest part is an update of the libraries to incorporate the string types from module `Object' into ADT:*, IO:*, OS:*, URI:*, and (partially) XML:* modules. The internal encoding of Unicode strings has been switched to UTF-16. Support for the MacOS X and Win32 platforms has been improved. There were several changes to the symbol file format. Please remove any old symbol files that are still around. __________________________________________________________________________ (Object, ADT:StringBuffer): Internal representation of Unicode strings is now UTF-16. `String32' is gone and has been replaced with `String16'. MAX(UCS4CHAR) is 10FFFFX, the largest possible Unicode code point. (Object:BigInt): Renamed string base constructors to follow the naming conventions from module `Object'. (ADT:ArrayList, ADT:Dictionary): Have been converted to parametric types. One known side-effect of this is that a type guard `Dictionary.Dictionary' can no longer be applied to instances of `Object.Object'. The reason for this is that the run-time type information does not include information on type parameters and therefore cannot test for particular type arguments. (The necessary run-time information may be added later.) (ADT:Storable, ADT:Object:Storage): The parameter type of the methods ReadObject() and WriteObject() has been changed back to `Object.Object'. The methods now handle instances of `Object.String' as well. (IO:Address): `UnknownHostException' is now derived from `IO.Error'. (IO:Buffer): Introduce method `ReadLineLF()', to read a single line of 8-bit characters from a channel, including the termination Ascii.lf character. (IO:FileChannel): File name arguments are now of type STRING. They are converted to sequences of bytes using OS:Path.Encode(). Dito for system() from OS:ProcessManagement. (IO:Socket, IO:SocketChannel): Non-blocking connect is implemented. (OS:Path): Changed functions to work on STRINGs. Changed function names to follow the Oberon naming conventions. Dito for GetCwd() from OS:ProcessParameters. (Exception): Fixed a bug in PopContext(), which lead to stack corruption if more than one TRY context is popped from the stack. Also some minor cleanups. (HashCode): Collects all hash functions for the various basic data types. (URI, URI:*): The URI modules use the string types from `Object', instead of defining their own variant of this theme. Error signalling has been converted to Exception.ParseError. Please note that the interface of these modules may be in for further changes later. The URI changes also propgate into the XML modules. (oo2c): New command --package-installed (tests if a package is present) and --list-packages (list all installed packages). (oo2c): The "Pascal" calling convention, and the CSTRING and ALIGNX flags have been ported to v2 by Stewart Greenhill. This is primarily used for native Windows DLLs. (oo2c): There is now support for MaxOS X style "framework" libraries (contributed by Tim Teulings). (oo2c): The documentation strings of a module have been removed from the symbol file `M.Sym', and are now stored in a separate file `M.Doc' (in the same directory as `M.Sym'). Compilation commands only read the `M.Sym' part. Also, compilation of huge interface modules is now much faster. (oo2c): Constant folding on floating point expressions is now enabled. (oo2c): Various minor bugs with parametric types have been fixed. around.
