Release Notes Archives Tasks completed... DONE: 0.7.8 Uses attributes to distinguish ambiguous tags when possible. DONE: 0.7.8 Changes to Alias mechanism: added import and export ability; enlarged size of prefix and suffix input and added cut/copy/paste. DONE: 0.7.8 Display child list for validation errors and warnings. Helps to identify OR and BLOCK elements in the SDD. DONE: 0.7.8 Added new SDD validation errors and warnings. The purpose of these is to give more guidance to SDD writers. New conditions include: blocks with a single child; first element in an or tag is optional; an or block as the direct child of another or block; and each or block in a list of or blocks should have a different tag as its first child.. DONE: 0.7.8 Changed rules for template generation. Items with frequencies of "no order" will not appear in generated templates. DONE: 0.7.8 Changed parsing table generation technique from SLR to LR(1). Also changed how items are created when no-order elements are siblings and updated LR(1) algorithm with code to prevent spurious shirt/reduce conflicts. The spurious reductions are now blocked when closure is applied to a goto items. DONE: 0.7.8 Added -Xms and -Xmx switches to launcher script files.

Data outside the tag structure was not being flagged as an error. DONE: 0.7.5 Fix for problem of premature end of file during validation. (Part of this fix requires changes to sddtypes lexer tables. This has been done for the XML and SGML types.) DONE: 0.7.4 Added new entries to About-User: Java Vendor and Working Directory. DONE: 0.7.4 Implemented tag specific spell checking.
