+Ragel 6.6 - Dec 2, 2009
+=======================
+ -Applied a number of patches from Diego Elio 'Flameeyes' Pettenò. Should not
+ be modifying the program's arguments. Problem raised by const correctness in
+ gcc 4.4. Other const-correctness and include fixes provided.
+ -Fixed improper allocation of checks in makeIncludePathChecks.
+ -Fixed segfault when there are no machine instantiations.
+ -Fixed wrong line directives. Line directives need to use the fileName stored
+ in the InputLoc stuctures from the parse trees, not the root source file,
+ otherwise actions in included files will have the wrong source file names
+ associated with the text.
+ -Made a number of build system improvements. We locate the DIST file using
+ $srcdir and source it. It contains settings for build_parsers and
+ build_manual. This allows the user of a dist to enable only one.
+ -Added missing files to doc/Makefile.am and examples/Makefile.am.
+ -Added checks for pdflatex and fig2dev is build_manual is on.
+ -Use automake --foreign so we don't need to have INSTALL and NEWS present.
+ -Ragel VIM syntax files should be specialized by host language. Updated the
+ VIM syntax files.
+ -Just discovered that $srcdir is available in the configure script for
+ checking for the existence of a file created by dist-hook. This lets us write
+ a test that knows the difference between a distribution tarball and something
+ from the repos. The building of the parsers and the manual can now be
+ automatically turned off in a make dist tarball.
+ -Added examples to the dist. Added unicode2ragel.rb to EXTRA_DIST in contrib.
+ -Moved unicode2ragel.rb to the contrib directory.
+
+Ragel 6.5 - May 18, 2009
+========================
+ -Fixed a bug in graphviz generation. Ragel crashed when using -V and -M and
+ the specified machine referenced another machine that wasn't included in the
+ build.
+ -The name "CS" is in use on OpenSolaris, changed to vCS to ease compiling
+ Ragel there.
+ -Converted to automake.
+ -REALLY fixed a bug that was intended to be fixed in 6.4:
+ Fixed a problem reading hex numbers that have the high bit set when the
+ alphabet is signed and we are on 64 bit. This was reported by _why. The
+ fix was provided by Wialliam Morgan. The literal 0xffffffff was used for
+ a fully set long when -1L should be used instead.
+ A null patch (whitespace changes) must have gotten checked after I was
+ testing with and without the critical one-line patch and I forgot to enable
+ make sure it was enabled in the final checkin version.
+
+Ragel 6.4 - Mar 22, 2009
+========================
+ -Moved back to a single executable. The old intermediate format can still be
+ generated using the -x option. Ragel was split into frontend and backend
+ programs in version 5.0. This was done to encourage interoperability with
+ other tools. Since then, ragel has been made to work with qfsm, with ragel
+ producing the intermediate format and qfsm consuming it. However, there has
+ been no use of Ragel as a consumer of state machine data, with Ragel used as
+ a code generator for DFAs. This is not surprising given that much of the
+ complexity of Ragel is in the frontend, where the regular language to DFA
+ compilation happens. Since the full benefits of the split have not
+ materialized, and the split increases the complexity for users, Ragel has
+ been made once again into a single executable.
+ -Applied a fix to the documentation Makefile from John D. Mitchell.
+ -Use CXXFLAGS instead of CFLAGS for C++ compiling. Patch from Diego
+ 'Flameeyes' Pettenò.
+ -Added support for DESTDIR variable. Patch from Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò.
+ -Added a script called unicode2ragel.rb for generating unicode machines to
+ the examples directory. From Rakan El-Khalil.
+ -Fixed a copy-paste error in the documentation that was reported by Jose
+ Quinteiro.
+ -Added three new write commands:
+ write start;
+ write first_final;
+ write error;
+ These generate a reference to the start, first final and error state. When
+ there are many different machine specifications in one file it is easy to
+ get the prefix for these wrong (especially when you do a lot of copy-pasting
+ of boilerplate). The problem can be avoided by using write commands.
+ -Fixed a problem reading hex numbers that have the high bit set when the
+ alphabet is signed and we are on 64 bit. This was reported by _why. The fix
+ was provided by Wialliam Morgan. The literal 0xffffffff was used for a fully
+ set long when -1L should be used instead.
+
+Ragel 6.3 - Aug 29, 2008
+========================
+ -Fixed an assertion that is too strong. In the condition code we need to copy
+ transitions that have non-empty lmActionTable arrays so we don't assert
+ emptiness in the constructor. Lift out the assertion and copy the array in
+ the constructor.
+ -Fixed and improved multiple include prevention. We now track the entire
+ include history of a parser state to prevent duplicates.
+ -Fixed crash on failed lookup of goto/call/etc target.
+
+Ragel 6.2 - May 9, 2008
+=======================
+ -Bug fix: The lm_switch actions needs to set p from tokend when there is no
+ user action.
+ -Bug fix: when not using indicies we can't use a transitions's id to identify
+ the eof transition to take. Instead add the transition to the end of the
+ transition list and store its position in a new var called pos. The pos var
+ is then used as the index.
+ -Bug fix: an fnext followed by an fbreak in -G2 was not working. The fbreak
+ was not aware that the fnext causes the cs variable to be forced active. In
+ this case fbreak does not need to save cs because it is already current.
+ -Bug fix: need to compute the low and high character-space keys from the
+ condition-trans overlap when computing an expansion. Can't use the range
+ supplied from the condition overlap since they may not match. An incorrect
+ machine that accepted 1(!cond1, !cond2) was generated for the following
+ grammar. This bug was reported by Tim Chklovski.
+ c = 2 @matched_c;
+ sc1 = 1..2 when cond1;
+ sc2 = 1..2 when cond2;
+ main := sc1 | c | sc2;
+ -Bug fix: error messages in start label analysis of join operations were
+ causing assertion failures because location info was not set. Fixed by
+ adding locations.
+ -Include and import file searching now searches for the file name given based
+ on the location of the current file, not ragel's current path.
+ Additional search locations can be given using the -I option.
+ -Rubinius code generation was updated to the latest Rubinius. Patch from Evan
+ Phoenix.
+ -Switched from strcasecmp to strcmp for testing long arguments.
+ -Applied a patch from Andrei Polushin for setting the error message format.
+ --error-format=gnu (default)
+ --error-fromat=msvc
+ -Now using the _WIN32 define instead of _WIN32. Other MSVC compilation
+ improvments from Andrei Polushin.
+ -Added the hyperref package to the manual.
+
Ragel 6.1 - Mar 26, 2008
========================
-Scanners now ensure that any leaving actions at the end of a pattern are
