Re: Is it Ada 2005 or Ada 2007?

I have seen the "new" Ada referred to as both Ada 2005 and Ada 2007.
When referring to the new standard and without referring to any
particular implementation of it, which is correct or preferred? I sort
of understand that the standard wasn't agreed to until 2007 but that
might not be the defining event. Is there an official designation or
are left to our own devices to call it what we want?

Formally, it is "ISO/IEC 8652:1995(E) with Corrigendum 1 and Amendment
1".

Officially informally (!), it is "Ada 2005" because ARM 3.1/2 says so.
That is the result of a majority agreement between the members of the
working group, most of whom are compiler vendors.

Some people call it "Ada 2007" because the ISO formally approved and
published Amendment 1 in 2007.

Some people call it "Ada".

Some people call it "Amendment 1".

It doesn't really matter, except perhaps to marketeers. Are there any
in the Ada business?
