Vala 0.1.4 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: the addition of a reference manual, support for object initializers, support for creation methods in structs, support for the [Notify] property attribute, experimental support for registering new fundamental classed types, better error reporting, bug fixes, and other changes.
