Vala 0.3.1 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 enabling of non-null types by default, a new handwritten parser, support for virtual methods in interfaces, warnings when using deprecated syntax, updates to the GLib and GTK+ bindings, bug fixes, and other changes.
