[Vala] [ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.27.1 - Compiler for the GObject type system

[Jürg Billeter <j bitron ch>]

We are pleased to announce version 0.27.1 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.27.1 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.27/

Changes since 0.26.2
 * Print compiler messages in color.
 * Add clutter-gdk-1.0 bindings.
 * Add clutter-gst-3.0 bindings.
 * Add clutter-x11-1.0 bindings.
 * Add rest-extras-0.7 bindings.
 * 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.
