The Ada Resource Association has published comprehensive documentation for the 2022 revision to the Ada Standard, officially known as Ada 2022. The updates were developed by the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 9 Ada Rapporteur Group and published as International Standard ISO/IEC 8652:2023(E). The new standard builds upon previous versions while introducing modern programming capabilities.

The official Ada 2022 Reference Manual is now available in multiple formats including PDF with highlighted changes, HTML, and text files. Developers can access the manual online or download versions weighing between 3.9MB and 4.6MB. The documentation includes detailed change bars showing modifications from previous standards, making it easier for experienced Ada programmers to identify new features.

For those seeking an introduction to the changes, Jeff Cousins authored the unofficial Ada 2022 Overview, which explains new features, provides usage examples, and details compatibility with earlier versions including Ada 95, 2005, and 2012. The overview is available in both HTML and PDF formats at www.ada-auth.org. Additionally, the Annotated Ada 2022 Language Reference Manual (AARM) targets compiler writers and conformance test developers with comprehensive annotations and detailed technical specifications.
