If the C run-time library is compiled and installed on your system, you can now
do 'cabal configure -fc-runtime' to get the following extras:
+ The haskell binding to the C run-time library will be included in the
PGF library (so you can import it in Haskell applications).
Documentation on the new modules will be included when you run
'cabal haddock'.
+ The new command 'pgf-shell', implemented on top of haskell binding to
the C run-time system.
+ Three new commands in the web API: c-parse, c-linearize and
c-translate. Their interfaces are similar to the corresponding commands
without the "c-" prefix, but they should be considered preliminary.
* The old way: a user hook in Setup.hs
* The new way: specify it in gf.cabal
* The test suite is now called gf-tests, and it runs testsuite/run.hs.
* You can run it manually with 'runhaskell testsuite/run.hs'. It also runs,
together with rgl-tests, when you do 'cabal test'
* Currently only 9 of 34 tests pass. Many failures have silly causes:
- Error messages that look slightly different
- Same output but in a different order
- Absolute paths in output
The reported number of recorded changes since the last tagged version was off
by one (because it counted the change that set the tag).
Also added a note that -K32M is not needed when using new-comp. But -old-comp
is still available as a configuration option, so I'm keeping -K32M for now.
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).
* 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).
Use the command "dist/build/gf/gf" instead of "gf" to compile the sample
grammars for the minibar, to avoid failing if gf is installed in a directory
which is not in the $PATH.
"gf -server" mode now contains everything needed to run the minibar and
the grammar editor (including example-based grammar writing).
The Setup.hs script installs the required files where gf -server can find them.
These files have been moved to a new directory: src/www.
The separate server program pgf-http is now obsolete.
Now you can specify more than one mode when building and installing the RGL.
For example to build all modes, run
runhaskell Setup.hs build alltenses present minimal
The default is to build alltenses and present, which means that a single
command,
cabal install
is enough to obtain a normal installation of GF. Without this change, additional
build and install commands would be required before you can compile example
grammars, like Foods and Phrasebook.
The build-binary-dist.sh script has been simplified accordingly.
Instead of just giving an explicit list of languages to compile, you can
now also add and remove languages from the default list by using langs=+...
or langs=-...
Examples:
cabal build langs=Eng,Swe,Ger -- as before, compile the given 3 langs
cabal build langs=-Fin -- use default languages, but omit Fin
cabal build langs=+Urd -- use default languages + Urd
("cabal build ..." is the same as "runhaskell Setup.hs build ...")
