==Libraries==
===EiffelBase===
* In experimental mode, we have changed the signature of <eiffel>generating_type</eiffel> to return an instance of <eiffel>TYPE</eiffel> rather than an instance of <eiffel>STRING</eiffel>. Existing code should still compile out of the box since we have equipped <eiffel>TYPE</eiffel> with conversions and new features similar to those of <eiffel>STRING</eiffel>. In the few cases where it would still not compile, use `generating_type.out' to ensure that the code will compile fine regardless of the compiler mode chosen (i.e. experimental or non-experimental).
* Fixed an issue in <eiffel>copy</eiffel> from <eiffel>HEAP_PRIORITY_QUEUE</eiffel> which would not do anything because it was simply copying itself, not the other queue.
* Fixed a bug in <eiffel>remove</eiffel> from <eiffel>HEAP_PRIORITY_QUEUE</eiffel> which caused the internal structure to be referenced beyond its bounds.
* Made <eiffel>clear_all</eiffel> in <eiffel>STRING_8</eiffel>, <eiffel>STRING_32</eiffel> and <eiffel>HASH_TABLE</eiffel> obsolete. One has to use <eiffel>wipe_out</eiffel>instead.
* Strengthen precondition of <eiffel>resize</eiffel> in <eiffel>STRING_8</eiffel>/<eiffel>STRING_32</eiffel> to forbid values that would shrink the string content. Use <eiffel>grow</eiffel> instead to preserve the former <eiffel>resize</eiffel> behavior.
* Added the base extension library that offers some extra functionality to EiffelBase: <eiffel>SEARCH_TABLE</eiffel> which is a HASH_TABLE where keys and items are the same (basically becoming a set), and sorting facilities for <eiffel>INDEXABLE</eiffel> containers.
* Added the "+" operator in <eiffel>READABLE_STRING_GENERAL</eiffel>.
* Added ability to create a directory recursively.
* Fixed bug#4118 where on .NET <eiffel>{EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT}.put</eiffel> had no effect on the actual process environment variables because the API was only available in .NET 2.0 which is what we now support at the minimum.
* Fixed a bug in <eiffel>{MEMORY}.memory_map</eiffel> which would cause a precondition violation in one of its call.
* Fixed issue with <eiffel>{BINARY_SEARCH_TREE_SET}.remove</eiffel> which would not move the cursor and thus causing an infinite loop in <eiffel>subtract</eiffel> and <eiffel>intersect</eiffel>.
* Fixed issue with <eiffel>{PART_SORTED_SET}.put</eiffel> and <eiffel>{PART_SORTED_SET}.extend</eiffel> which had no effect and thus causing a postcondition violation.
* Fixed invalid retrieval of SPECIAL objects using the Eiffel SED serializer in experimental mode.
* Fixed a missing element in <eiffel>{BOUNDED_QUEUE}.linear_representation</eiffel>.
