GF Version 3.3 Release Notes

October 2011

Installation

Source language extension: it is now possible to override the oper definitions in an interface, by using the header syntax instance Foo of Bar - [f,g,h].
New functionalities in GF shell commands (more information with help command-name).
- aw = align_words option -giza prints word alignments in Giza++ format.
- i = import now recognizes changes in abstract syntax without the need of empty.
- pg = print_grammar option -lexc prints lexicon in Xerox LEXC format.
- ps = put_string now has flags for reading transliteration rules from a user-provided file.
- r = reload repeats the latest instance of import.
- sd = show_dependencies shows all dependencies of a constant, and optionally their code sizes.
- so = show_operations shows the oper's in scope, optionally restricted to a value type.
- ss = show_source shows source code, or optionally just function headers or source code sizes.

Haskell output as Generalized Algebraic Datatypes: gf -make -output-format=haskell --haskell=gadt
gf -server replaces pgf-http and makes it easy to test the minibar and the web-based grammar editor.
Faster grammar compilation (also included in the GF 3.2.9 source-only snapshot).
