Vala 0.0.4 has been released. Vala "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." It offers features such as: interfaces, properties, lambda expressions, local variable type inference, and more.

This release includes: support for Unicode character literals, implicit conversions for numeric types, improved array and interface support, the addition of threading support, improvements to the GTK+ bindings, and other changes.
