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).
Note though that the unlexer does the wrong thing with initial words that are
supposed to be capitalized, e.g. "I am ready.", "Spanish wine is good.", so
these sentenses are not translated at the moment.
* Update Setup.hs to build Japanese by default.
* News item about Japanese on the home page.
* Add Japanese to the supported RGL imports in the grammar editor (gfse).
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
Instead of showing the name of a function in the abstract syntax, linearize it
and show the result. For functions with argument, e.g. That : Kind -> Item,
the function is applied to the right number of placeholder arguments: 'That ?'.
If the linearization fails, the name of the function is shown anyway.
The grammar extension is now done with a regular HTML form, so you can use the
TAB key to move between the fields and press ENTER to submit the extension when
you are done.

The Haskell Platform page for Mac states that Xcode 3.2 or later is ok, but
there seems to be a problem with Xcode 3.2.2.
Also added some other small clarifications.
The current intput is now represented as an array of words instead of as a
string.
(This is the kind of change is scary to do in a dynamically type language
like JavaScript. In a statically typed language like Haskell you can do it
with confidence, since you know the compiler can help you catch all mistakes...)
If you leave the minibar and later return, the previous input will be
restored. One input string per grammar is rememebered, so you can also switch
back and forth between grammars without losing the input.
This is implemented using localStorage, i.e. the data is stored locally on
the user's device.
