Vala 0.1.0 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: the replacement of the 'callback' keyword with 'delegate', improved GLib and GTK+ bindings, refactoring of the code generator, the addition of an experimental bindings generator, plus other changes and bug fixes.
