ISO/IEC 8652:2023, the revised Ada standard has been published.

https://www.iso.org/standard/83621.html

>From the Abstract:
This  document specifies the form and meaning of programs written in
Ada. Its  purpose is to promote the portability of Ada programs to a
variety of  computing systems.

This document specifies:

—   The form of a program written in Ada;

—   The effect of translating and executing such a program;

—   The manner in which program units can be combined to form Ada
programs;

—   The language-defined library units that a conforming implementation
is required to supply;

—   The permissible variations in conformance to the rules of this
document, and the manner in which they are to be documented;

—   Those violations of the requirements of this document that a
conforming implementation is required to detect, and the effect of
attempting to translate or execute a program containing such
violations;

—   Those violations of the requirements of this document that a
conforming implementation is not required to detect.

This document does not specify:

—   The means whereby a program written in Ada is transformed into
object code executable by a processor;

—   The means whereby translation or execution of programs is invoked
and the executing units are controlled;

—   The size or speed of the object code, or the relative execution
speed of different language constructs;

—   The form or contents of any listings produced by implementations;
in particular, the form or contents of error or warning messages;

—   The effect of unspecified execution;

—   The size of a program or program unit that will exceed the capacity
of a particular conforming implementation.
