Mercury is a logic/functional programming language which combines the clarity and expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features.
Its highly optimized execution algorithm delivers efficiency far in excess of existing logic programming systems, and close to conventional programming systems. Mercury addresses the problems of large-scale program development, allowing modularity, separate compilation, and numerous optimization/time trade-offs.
“Mercury is a general purpose language intended to support the creation of large, reliable and efficient applications.

This means the new release will have more features and fixes than if we'd released version 12.08 now. The beta releases of Mercury 13.05 are available here.
