The fact that identifiers are represented as ByteStrings is now an internal
implentation detail in module GF.Infra.Ident. Conversion between ByteString
and identifiers is only needed in the lexer and the Binary instances.
Most of the explicit uses of ByteStrings were eliminated by using identS,
identS = identC . BS.pack
which was found in GF.Grammar.CF and moved to GF.Infra.Ident. The function
prefixIdent :: String -> Ident -> Ident
allowed one additional import of ByteString to be eliminated. The functions
isArgIdent :: Ident -> Bool
getArgIndex :: Ident -> Maybe Int
were needed to eliminate explicit pattern matching on Ident from two modules.
Before, they were silently converted to linear patterns.
Nonlinear patterns in MorphoCat.gf, ParadigmsGre.gf and ParadigmsFin.gf have
been make linear by renaming pattern variables.
The refresh pass does not correctly keep track of the scope of local variables
and can convert things like \x->(\x->x) x into \x1->(\x2->x2) x2. Fortunately,
it appears that the refresh pass is not needed anymore, so it has been removed.
The function GF.Grammar.PatternMatch.isInConstantForm returned False for all
tables, causing matchPattern to fail, claiming that "variables occur in" the
term if it contains tables.
This problem is several years old, confirmed present in GF 3.2.10 (Oct 2010).
When a browser requests a URL that refers to a directory, web server usually
redirect the browser to the same URL with a trailing '/' added, if one was not
already present. This is to prevent relative links in the returned document
from being interpreted relative to the parent directory instead of the current
document. This type of redirection was missing in gf -server.
By adding a header
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
to the HTTP responses, web browsers are informed that it is OK to call the
services from web pages hosted on other sites.
This is apparently supported in most modern browsers, so it should no longer
be necessary to resort to JSONP.

The package network-2.4.1.1 thoughlessly introduced a backward incompatible
change to the function Network.URI.unEscapeString, see
https://github.com/haskell/network/commit/f2168b1f8978b4ad9c504e545755f0795ac869ce
This also affects the function Network.Shed.Httpd.queryToArguments, which is
used in GFServer.hs.
To remain compatible with older and newer versions of the network package,
we need to stay clear of queryToArguments and unEscapeString. A replacement
function has been added to server/URLEncoding.hs.
The &+ operator is now consistently eliminated from the output of commmands
that produce linearizations. Before, only the commands translate and
translategroup did this.
GF does not show up if you google for machine translation. This meta tag might
help, but in general I think it is better for SEO to mention relevant keyword
in the body text than to rely on meta tags.
+ The syntax editor is now accessible from the Simple Translaton Tool.
+ The minibar now automatically provides access to the syntax editor (provided
the necessary JavaScript files and style sheets have been loaded).
+ Preparations for making the syntax editor accessible from the grammar editor.
In order to compile DictEngSwe.gf, you must now first run this script to create
FolketsLexikon.gf.
cd lib/src/swedish/folketslexikon
make
This will automatically download and convert Folkets Lexikon.
If the download fails, a dummy version of FolketsLexikon.gf will remain,
allowing DictEngSwe.gf to be compiled anyway.
Also in Commands.hs: be explicit about things imported from the PGF library
that are not in the public API.
Also a couple of haddock documentation fixes.
When compiling a grammar containing characters that are not supported in the
current locale, warning messages could cause GF fail with
hPutChar: invalid argument (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)
With this quick fix, warning messages that can not be displayed are silently
truncated instead, and compilation continues.
The new options are
* noleaves, nofun, nocat (booleans, false by default)
* nodefont, leaffont, nodecolor, leafcolor, nodeedgestyle, leafedgestyle
(strings, empty by default)
Some commands (linearize, linearizeAll, random, generate, translate and
translategroup) by default produce output in all languages supported by the
grammar and the 'to' parameter could be used to restrict output to a single
language. Now you can restrict the output to a list of languages. Languages
should be separated by spaces.
Also removed an unnecessary LANGUAGE pragma and reduced code verbosity.
This should prevent errors like
Internal error in Compute.ConcreteNew:
Applying Predef.drop: Expected a value of type String, got VFV [VString "gewandt",VString "gewendet"]
