Andreas, it's the reverse.
Project Oberon 2013 mainly implements a version of Oberon-07 report released during 2011, it's the code that hasn't been updated.
The only features added during 2013 were the typecase and byte, the rest of the compiler is out of sync.

The implementation is also full of missing feature due to the (over-)simplification of the compiler or because Wirth didn't really feel necessary to update the compiler, but that doesn't mean it's not part of Oberon-07.
Just to say one, for example in PO2013 booleans can't be compared due to the complication in the code generator, but Oberon-07 report states that they can be compared. It is not something Wirth is going to remove from the report.
