[Sdvalidator-users] sdvalidator 0.7.8 released

[Jeff C. <sdv...@ya...>]

Hi,

The new version is available for download from sourceforge. I will 
update the webpages in the next day or two.

1) Uses attributes to distinguish ambiguous tags when possible.

2) Changes to Alias mechanism: added import and export ability; enlarged 
size of prefix and suffix input and added cut/copy/paste.

3) Display child list for validation errors and warnings. Helps to 
identify OR and BLOCK elements in the SDD.

4) 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.

5) Changed rules for template generation. Items with frequencies of "no 
order" will not appear in generated templates.

6) 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.

7) Added -Xms and -Xmx switches to launcher script files.

8) Using rc2 version of browser launcher lib.

9) Corrected problem with exception when saving grammar compilation 
error tab.
