Change Log

Dates below are in YYYY-MM-DD format.

2012-01-29

Tested on: DMD 2.052 - DMD 2.056, and partially DMD 2.057 as described below (but see this note regarding RDMD)

GoldieLib: Added Token.get and Token.getRequired.
GoldieLib: Added traverse for parse tree traversal.
GoldieLib: Added op overloads as a preferred alternative to Token.subX for accessing subtokens in dynamic-style.
GoldieLib: Fixed: RangeException on Token.matches("<blah>", null) (ie, when attempting to match an empty rule with matches).
Fixed Issue #20: Fails on 64-bit builds. (But note the still-open #21: 64-bit 'staticlang' and 'sampleGenericParse' blocked by DMD Issue #6983)
Switched version control from SVN/DSource to Git/BitBucket.
Added Beginner's Tutorial.
Many documentation updates/improvements including (in addition to the usual misc and API updates) an updated FAQ.
StaticLang: Creates the output path if it doesn't already exist.
Renamed "Parse Anything" sample to Sample Generic Parse (to avoid confusion with the Parse tool).
Added support for DMD 2.056. On DMD 2.057, dynamic-style works, but not static-style or grammar compiling due to DMD Issue #7375.
Now uses SemiTwist D Tools tag 'goldie-v0.7'.

2011-10-04

Tested on: DMD 2.052 - DMD 2.055 (but see this note regarding RDMD)

Added support for DMD 2.054 and 2.055. The next version of Goldie will likely require at least 2.055.
Fixed: Major bug in static-style: Some tokens erroneously refer to calc grammar no matter what grammar they're from.
Now uses SemiTwist D Tools r234

2011-05-17

Tested on: DMD 2.052 - DMD 2.053

Improved lexing/parsing speed by about 5x-6x.
Small additional speedup lexing languages with large character sets (such as Unicode).
GRMC: Grammar Compiler: Supports {All Valid} character set.
GRMC: Grammar Compiler: Complex grammars are compiled to CGT up to about 4x-8x faster.
GRMC: Grammar Compiler: Verbose (-v) flag shows each step and amount of time taken.
ParseAnything: No more unhandled exception when parsing a source with an error.
Fixed to work with DMD 2.053 (still works with 2.052, too).
Now uses SemiTwist D Tools r221

2011-03-27

Tested on: DMD 2.052

Switched from D1/Tango to D2/Phobos.
New tool: GRMC: Grammar Compiler. Because of this, Goldie no longer requires GOLD Parser Builder.
Grammars can be compiled not only from GRMC: Grammar Compiler, but also through the D API, GoldieLib.
No longer requires xfBuild or Rebuild.
Executable filenames are now prefixed with 'goldie-' to minimize chance of collisions on the PATH.
Many misc changes/improvements to tools, API and documentation.
Now uses SemiTwist D Tools r213

2010-07-25

Added static-style languages.
Major improvements to API for parsing errors.
Misc changes/improvements to API.
New tools: StaticLang, JsonViewer and GenDocs.
Split Calculator sample app into a dynamic-style version and a static-style version.
Greatly improved handling of Unicode.
Created complete documentation.
Now uses SemiTwist D Tools r132
