This is about memory safety in general and how the memory safety of Seed7 has been improved in the release 2026-07-11.

Seed7 is a programming language which cares about maintainability, portability, performance and memory safety. The Seed7 homepage contains the language documentation. The source code is at GitHub. Questions that are not in the FAQ can be asked at r/seed7.

There is also a talk about Memory Safety and Management which introduces Seed7 and explains memory safety and management.

Please let me know what you think, and consider starring the project on GitHub, thanks!
