| - fixed bug #1968897 (Ambiguous error message in macro expansion) |
| - fixed bug #1832973 (Syntax error in input may cause NullPointerException) |
| - fixed bug #1629920 (Need to defend against path blanks in jflex bash script) |

| |
| * JFlex 1.4.1 (November 7, 2004) |
| - merged in patch by Don Brown (fixes #1049791 Uses Old JUnit method assertFalse) |
| - merged in patch by Don Brown (fixes #887821 buffer expansion bug in yy_refill()) |
| Thanks to Binesh Bannerjee for providing a simpler test case for this problem. |
| - fixed bug #1035407 (ArrayIndexOutOfBounds in IntCharSet) |
| - fixed bug #1003569 (Cannot use lookahead with ignorecase) |
| - converted dangerous lookahead error to warning |
| - print info for EOF actions as well in %debug mode |
| - fixed line number count for EOF actions |
| - internal: removed unused methods in LexScan.flex and IntCharSet |
| |
| * JFlex 1.4 (April 12, 2004) |
| - new, very fast minimization algorithm (also fixes memory issues) |
| - new --jlex option for strict compatibility to JLex. Currently it |
| changes %ignorecase to JLex semantics, that is, character classes |
| are interpreted in a caseless way, too. |
| (fixes bus #751757, %ignorecase ignored by char classes). |
| Thanks to Edward D. Willink for spotting the incompatibility. |
| - support for even larger scanners (up to 64K DFA states). |
| Thanks to Karin Vespoor. |
| - removed eclipse compiler warnings for generated classes |
| (feature request #778747) |
| - implemented faster character classes (feature request #604589). |
| Expressions like [a-z] | [A-Z] are interpreted as one atomic class |
| [a-zA-Z], reducing NFA states and generation time significantly |
| for some specifications. This affects the generation process only, |
| generated scanners remain the same. |
| - new %apiprivate switch (feature request #513500/1) that causes all |
| generated and skeleton methods to be made private. Exceptions to this |
| are user defined functions and the constructor. Thanks to Stephen |
| Ostermiller for the suggestion. |
| - allow user defined javadoc class comments (feature request #513500/2) |
| If the user code section ends with a javadoc comment, JFlex takes this |
| instead of the generated comment. Thanks to Stephen Ostermiller for |
| the suggestion. |
| - fixed bug #491095 (undefined macros in complement expressions do |
| not throw exception in generator). Thanks to Stephen Ostermiller |
| for the bug report. |
| - fixed bug #495422 (yypushStream/yypopStream in skeleton.nested |
| work as advertised) |
| - fixed bug #611118 (no wrong macro warnings on regexp negation) |
| - fixed bug #655528 (%cupsym now also affects %cupdebug) |
| Thanks to Eric Schweitz for the fix. |
| - fixed bug #510010 (single-line %initthrow works now |
| in case of extra whitespace before newline) |
| - yyreset() does no longer close the associated reader (use yyclose() |
| explicitly for that). Makes some reader objects reusable (feature |
| request #513492). Thanks to Stephen Ostermiller for the suggestion. |
| - fixed modifier order in generated code, removes jikes compiler warnings |
| Thanks to Michael Wildpaner for the fix. |
| - ant task now also works with ant >= 1.4 (fixes bug #526905) |
| - yyreset() does not declare an execption any more (fixes bug #913132) |
| - %cup does not include %eofclose in JLex mode (--jlex). (Fixes bug #910562) |
| - optional parameter to %eofclose: "%eofclose false" turns off %eofclose if |
| it was turned on previously (e.g. by %cup). (Fixes bug #910562) |
| - jflex build script switched to ant |
| - internal: central Options class for better integration with |
| build tools and IDEs |
| - internal: change naming scheme for generated internal variables from |
| yy_ to zz to comply with Java naming standard. Thanks to Max Gilead |
| for the patch. |
| |
| |

| Thanks to Ed Beroset for the suggestion. |
| - introduced %s and %x shorthands for state declarations |
| |
| |
| * JFlex 1.3.3 (September 21, 2001) |
| - fixed all reported bugs except #39 (lookahead check at generation |
| time may fail). Thanks to Axel Schwolow, Karl Meissner, Angelo |
| Borsotti, and Paolo Di Francesco for their excellent bug reports. |
| - enhanced %debug output. JFlex scanners in debug mode now print line, |
| column, matched text, and executed action (with line number in spec) |
| for each processed token. Thanks to |
| <a href="http://meissner.v0.net/msd.htm">Karl Meissner</a> for the |
| suggestion. |
| - introduced %cupdebug directive for readable CUP debugging. Generated |
| scanners print line, column, matched text, and CUP symbol name for |
| each returned token. Again thanks to Karl Meissner for tips and |
| contributed Java reflection code. |
| - new %cupsym to customize CUP generated symbols class name. Thanks |
| to Karl Meissner and Paolo Di Francesco. |
| - new %throws as shorthand for %yylexthrow |

| --pack, and --switch |
| - command line switch --info prints system and JVM information (useful |
| for bug reports) |
| - command line switch --nobak for not generating backup files |
| - an Ant task for the Ant build tool http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ |
| contributed by Rafal Mantiuk. Many thanks to him. |
| - better error message for missing ] in char class. Thanks to Karl |
| Meissner. |
| - performance enhancements in the runtime system. The engine is now |
| 10%-50% faster. These are only the first implementations of a few of |
| the many suggestions from Angelo Borsotti. Thanks to Angelo for many |
| insights, tips, and fruitful discussions. |
| - a new warning if a rule can never be matched |
| - macros and regular expression can now span multiple lines (note |
| that <tt>|</tt> at the end of a line in a rule is a special action, |
| not the <tt>|</tt> operator) |
| - updated the manual to contain more information about the generated |
| class, clarified the description of lexical states. Thanks to Michael |
| Binz, Angelo Borsotti, Vasily Karyaev and for the suggestions. |
| - Simplified java example lexer, and allow // style comments at EOF. |
| Thanks to Thomas Mulcahy. |
| - Byacc/J example updated to version 1.1 |
| - New interpreter example using CUP. Thanks to Bernhard Rumpe for |
| the code. |
| |
| |
| * JFlex 1.3.2 (February 24, 2001) |
| - fixed bug #32 (this time for real). Thanks to Thilo Goetz for |
| his quick report. |
| - updated the binary scanning example with the more comprehensive and |
| usable class StraightStreamReader by Stephen Ostermiller. Thanks go to |
| him for his contribution. The original version of this class is at |
| http://www.smo.f2s.com/utils/ |
| - added a link to a Japanese translation of the JFlex manual (it's in Japanese |
| Shift_JIS encoding). The translation is for an older release (1.1.2), but |
| most of the text still applies to the current version. See the change log |
| for the differences between 1.1.2 and the current version. Many thanks to |
| Yuichi Nakajima, Yukio Ikeda, Katsuhiko Yamazaki, and Koji Ooya for |
| their efforts. |
| If you would like to translate the JFlex manual into another language, or |
| if you already have done so, please let me know. I will include a link to |
| it on the documentation page. I can also give you access to the latex |
| sources of the manual, so that printable versions of your translation can |
| be generated, too. |
| |
| |
| * JFlex 1.3.1 (February 20, 2001) |
| - fixed all JFlex bugs reported for 1.3 (bugs #32-#36) |
| Thanks to Hans Kratz, Vasily Karyaev, Alexey Yakovets, and Tom Moog for |
| their excellent reports. |
| - added two new example scanners: |
| . a demonstration how to scan binary files |
| . a small calculator example for Cup, based on the example in the Linux |
| Gazette by Richard A. Sevenich and Christopher Lopes. See also |
| http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue39/sevenich.html |
| http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue41/sevenich.html |

| might be useful when you have very large scanners and not much memory |
| available. |
| - switch for generating graphviz dot files for graphical representation (ps |
| or gif) of generated NFA, DFA and minimized DFA (--dot). Might be useful for |
| teaching. This feature is also still in alpha status and not fully finished |
| yet. It is included as preview, comments are welcome, please try it out and |
| tell me what you think. For information on graphviz see |
| http://www.research.att.com:80/sw/tools/graphviz/ |
