==Installation==
See the [download page http://www.grammaticalframework.org/download/index.html].
==What's new==
===GF compiler and run-time library===
- The Haskell source code for GF now compiles with GHC 7.6 and hence the
the latest [Haskell Platform http://www.haskell.org/platform/] (2013.2.0.0).
Compatibility with GHC 7.4 is also maintained.
- A bug in the partial evaluator that caused problems with pattern macros has
been fixed.
- The new runtime in C is now stable enough to be used although there
are still features from the Haskell runtime which are not ported yet.
The new runtime provides the following new features:
- state of the art statistical parser for GF (PMCFG)
- the parser is usable in a robust mode, i.e. even if the
sentence is not in the scope of the grammar it is still possible
to get a list of parsable chunks
- the linearizer is also more robust than the one in Haskell since
it can linearize the partial trees returned from the robust parser
- the exhaustive generation for GF abstract trees generates the trees
in decreasing probability order (the order in Haskell is unspecified).
- we have started using just-in-time compilation to native code in
the exhaustive generator. The goal is to reach the state where
GF will provide state of the art theorem prover.
