The Setup.hs script now queries darcs to create more detailed version info
to include in the startup message.
Note thought that with distributed version control systems like darcs,
the only way to uniquely identify a version is by the set of patches included.
Since the patches are not totally ordered, just looking at the last patch is
not enough.
For official releases, we tag the current set of patches so we can refer to
it by name (e.g. RELEASE-3.3.3).
As a temporary workaround, alex is no longer invoked automatically when
building with cabal. Developers who want to modify the lexer need to run
alex on Lexer.x manually and record the modified Lexer.hs.
src/compiler/GF/Grammar/lexer/Lexer.x -- hidden from cabal
src/compiler/GF/Grammar/Lexer.hs -- update it manually
An apparent bug in ghc-7.2.2 causes the type Value to be exported from PGF.Data.
Workaround: restrict the imports from PGF.Data in GF.Command.Abstract and
GF.Compile.GeneratePMCFG to avoid the clash with locally defined type Value.
(ghc-7.0.4 and ghc-7.4.1 appear to be free from this bug.)
+ Preserve the startcat flag.
+ Preserve judgement order when possible (GF's parser does not preserve order
and does not record exact source locations, only line numbers)
This is an experimental feature. It requires server support for parsing and is
thus not available while offline, unlike most other editing functionality.
If there is an error in the grammar, the error message is shown below the
grammar instead.
Also: GFServer.hs now returns compiler output in a JSON structure instead of
as a HTML page.
The link to the minibar (or compiler errors) are now shown below the grammar
on the same page. If you go to the minibar, you only have to press the back
button once to get back to the editor.
Also some output formatting changes in GFServer.hs.
The grammar that the user is currently working is now the one shown initially
in minibar, instead of the first grammar in alphabetical order.
Also GFServer.hs now removes absolute paths to the grammar files on the server in error messages from GF returned to to gfse.
+ Avoid looping if it is not possible to create a new server directory.
+ Work on FastCGI support using the direct-fastcgi package (commented out
for now because of buggy behavior).
