This turns error messages like
gf: too few bytes. Failed reading at byte position 1
gf: /some/path/somefile.gfo: too few bytes. Failed reading at byte position 1
but a better fix would be to ignore bad .gfo files and compile from source.
The problem is the way this decision is made in
GF.Compile.ReadFiles.selectFormat...
Also added feedback to source & target language menus to indicate which
languages are supported by the selected translation method. For Apertium, the
source language menu shows all possible source languages, and the target menu
shows the possible target languages for the chosen source language.
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.
