Preferably, work directly with 1.5. + +The Syntax and Paradigms APIs are supersets of the old ones - thus backward compatibility +is guaranteed for applications using them. This of course with the reservation that, since +the APIs may contain new functions, name clashes with other modules may result if names are +not qualified. + +Visible differences from 1.4: + +- Cat, Noun : Quant and Art fused ; Quant has both substantival and adjectival forms. This + is to eliminate the duplication of Quant and Art rules, and also to account for the different + forms some quantifiers, have when the word stands alone vs. is attached to an adjective. + For instance, in Italian, "that wine" is "quel vino", whereas "that" alone is "quello". + +- CommonX, Sentence : Tense and Ant fused. This is to leave room for the radically different + tense systems in different languages. However, the Syntax API still displays the + two-dimensional tense structure. + +- Mathematical is dropped as obsolete. Combinators and Symbolic together give a sufficient + interface for this kind of applications. + +- Combinators is included in Syntax. + + +To see the full change history, do + + GF/lib/next-resource% darcs changes . + +It starts with these two entries: + +Fri Sep 5 15:27:56 CEST 2008 aarne@cs.chalmers.se + * Temp = Tense + Ant in next-resource + +Fri Sep 5 15:12:47 CEST 2008 aarne@cs.chalmers.se + * starting next-resource by fusing Art and Quant in english and scandinavian; substantival forms added for e.g. possessive pronouns
