                      PowerAdaÆ 5.8c9 Release Notes
                            May  5, 2020

These Release Notes contain information relevant to Version 5.8c9 of the
OCS PowerAda Compilation System, supplementing the PowerAda User's Guide:
http://docs.ocsystems.com/w/index.php/PowerAda_Documentation

 1. Introduction

    Version 5.8c9 of the PowerAda Compilation System is a bug-fix and feature
    update of the PowerAda development tools from OC Systems.

 2. Getting Help

    If you have any comments, would like additional information, need a
    different media format, or you have any other installation or
    configuration problems, please contact OC Systems by internet at
    support@ocsystems.com or by telephone at (703)-359-8160.

 3. Requirements

    System Requirements for each of the PowerAda hosts are:

    For PowerAda/AIX: any computer running AIX version 5.3 or later

    For PowerAda/Linux: any modern Intel Pentium-based computer running
    Red Hat Linux 8 or later (with a version 2.4.18 kernel or later)

    Contact OC Systems for help installing PowerAda on versions or platforms
    other than these.

    The file "README" contains more detailed notes on requirements and
    installation.  Please refer to it before installing PowerAda on any
    supported host.  Typically, 700 MB of disk space are required for
    installation of PowerAda on any of the host platforms.


 4. Licensing

    PowerAda 5.8c9 works with the software product FLEXlm.  See the PowerAda
    Installation Guide for more information about setting up the license
    manager.

    PowerAda 5.8c9 for AIX does not require a new license if you already have a
    valid license for PowerAda 4.1 (or newer) for AIX.  PowerAda 5.8c9 for Linux
    does not require a new license if you already have a valid license for
    PowerAda 5.3 (or newer) for Linux.  Replacements for older licenses can be
    reissued by support@ocsystems.com.  The license keys for AIX are different
    from those for Linux, as the products are sold separately.


 5. Compatibility

    PowerAda AIX 5.8c9 object code is NOT compatible with that produced by
    versions prior to 5.8, due to stack layout changes.

    Otherwise, PowerAda 5.8c9 is source-code compatible with prior PowerAda
    versions up to 5.2.  This only means that a complete recompilation of your
    source code is required.

    Projects created by versions prior to PowerAda 5.8 cannot be opened using
    PowerAda 5.8c9.  If you are sure you know what you're doing, you can get
    around this by doing the following

        cd adaproj    # or whatever is your project root directory
        rm .adaproj   # delete the current project state file
        aprojinit -k  # create a new project state file, keeping the directory

    Note that this and future versions of PowerAda will support AIX 5.3 and newer.
    OC Systems can provide PowerAda 5.8c9 for AIX 5.2, upon request.
    PowerAda 5.2 will continue to be supported as the LegacyAda version of
    PowerAda for use on older AIX 4 operating systems.


 6. Customer-Reported Issues Fixed

    The following issues were fixed in this release.  If you reported a problem
    and don't see it listed here, please contact OC Systems (as described above)

 7. Limitations and Unimplemented Features

    If you encounter any problem, or have any suggestions for improvement
    or enhancement, please contact OC Systems at support@ocsystems.com.
    We can't fix what we don't know about.

    See APPENDIX C, "Implementation Characteristics" (corresponding to
    Annex M of the Ada95 Reference Manual) for a detailed description
    of which optional portions of the language have been implemented.

    PowerAda/Linux does not do any stack overflow checking, and so it will
    dump core on insufficient stack space rather than raise STORAGE_ERROR.
    The user should make sure that all task stacks are given sufficient
    storage to execute.
