SparForte is my Ada-based shell, scripting language and template engine.

Version 2.5 is available from www.sparforte.com.

Changes since 2.4:

New features/examples: 23
Changes: 8
Fixes: 26

Known Issues

On Raspian Bullseye, the calendar package has rounding errors. Possibly due to increased precision of time values in kernel.
On FreeBSD 13, "environment corrupt" errors are being reported when the spar command runs another spar command. Possibly due to out-of-data GCC Ada for FreeBSD.
Tab completion does not work correctly on directory names containing spaces.
