==What's new==
|
|
|
|
The [GF repository on GitHub https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF/]
|
|
is now our master source repository, not just a read-only mirror.
|
|
Bug reports and feature requests can be submitted to the
|
|
[issue tracker https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF/issues],
|
|
and we also accept pull requests.
|
|
|
|
Over 200 changes have been pushed to the source repository since
|
|
[the release of GF 3.8 release-3.8.html] in June 2016.

|
===GF compiler and run-time library===
|
|
|
|
|
|
====New features and notable changes====
|
|
|
|
- Support for language-specific depencency configurations (in addition to abstract syntax based ones); see ``help vd`` in the GF shell
|
|
|
|
- An experimental support for sentence lookup which makes it possible
|
|
to find the sentence from the grammar that matches best a set of keywords.
|
|
Right now it is usable only with controlled languages since it might be
|
|
very innefficient for some grammars.
|
|
|
|
- A new .NET binding for the GF runtime is available.
|
|
|
|
- The API in the Java binding is extended and it covers more from
|
|
the full functionality of the C runtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
====Changes of interest to compiler developers====
|
|
|
|
- The compiler source code has been updated for compatibility with GHC 8.2.1.

|
|
|
|
- New languages:
|
|
- Icelandic
|
|
- Norwegian Nynorsk
|
|
|
|
|
|
- API now usable for incomplete languages via ``Missing`` modules:
|
|
implemented for Arabic and Latin.
|
|
- Punctuation with ``BIND`` and ``SOFT_BIND`` tokens for a number of languages
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Various fixes for several languages.
