[Jürg Billeter <j bitron ch>]

We are pleased to announce version 0.12.0 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.12.0 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.12/

Changes since 0.11.7
 * Add get_next_char to string class.
 * Many bug fixes and binding updates.

Vala is a new programming language that 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.

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
code.
