Vala 0.0.8 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 overridden properties, support for properties and signals in interfaces, basic compile-time support for generic types, support for pointers, improved numeric types support, improved GTK+ bindings, plus other changes and bug fixes.
