Vala 0.2.0 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: support for nested namespaces, support for static constructors, a change to the syntax for default values of properties, a --verbose command line option, improved pointer support, new and updated library bindings, bug fixes, and other changes.
