What is Ada 95 (aka Ada 9X)?
Ada 95 refers to the current, revised version of the Ada standard. (Ada 83 was the original ANSI/ISO standard.) The Ada 9X Project Office was responsible for the revision, and worked closely with the international community to ensure Ada retains its ISO status. The Ada 9X process was very open. Many documents are still available for downloading from ftp://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/public/AdaIC/pol-hist/history/9x-history on the AdaIC host. The Ada 9X Project Office has been closed. Ada 95 includes four major areas of enhancement: support for object-oriented programming, data-oriented synchronization, programming-in-the-large, and realtime systems. A great deal of attention was focused on transitioning to Ada 95. The validation test suite was available early (in draft form prior to ANSI/ISO approval with official release 3 months after ANSI/ISO approval). However, for a two-year period after the official revision of the standard (15 February 1995), vendors will be able to focus on enhan
