[Jürg Billeter <j bitron ch>]

We are pleased to announce version 0.25.2 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.25.2 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.25/

Changes since 0.25.1
 * Require and target GLib >= 2.24.
 * Report warning for private struct fields.
 * Replace webkit2gtk-3.0 bindings with webkit2gtk-4.0 bindings.
 * Always build vapigen.
 * Bug fixes and binding updates.

Vala is a 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.

More information about Vala is available at
