CHANGES

+2013/01/16:
+"menhir --depend" was broken since someone added new whitespace in the output
+of ocamldep. Fixed.
+
+2012/12/19:
+Fixed a compilation problem that would arise when a file produced
+by Menhir on a 64-bit platform was compiled by ocaml on a 32-bit
+platform.
+
+2012/08/25:
+Performance improvements in the computation of various information
+about the automaton (module [Invariant]). The improvements will be
+noticeable only for very large automata.
+
+2012/06/07:
+The option --log-grammar 3 (and above) now causes the FOLLOW sets for
+*terminal* symbols to be computed and displayed.
+
+2012/05/25:
+Added the flag --canonical, which causes Menhir to produce a canonical LR(1)
+automaton in the style of Knuth. This means that no merging of states takes
+place during the construction of the automaton, and that no default reductions
+are allowed.
+
+2012/01/23:
+
+Fixed a bug whereby a %nonassoc declaration was not respected. This
+declaration requests that a shift/reduce conflict be reduced in favor of
+neither shifting nor reducing, that is, a syntax error must occur. However,
+due to an unforeseen interaction with the "default reduction" mechanism, this
+declaration was sometimes ignored and reduction would take place.
+
+2012/01/09:
+Changes in the (undocumented) Coq back-end so as to match the ESOP 2012
+paper.
+
+2011/10/19:
+The Makefile now tests whether Unix or Windows is used (the test is performed
+by evaluating Sys.os_type under ocaml) and changes a couple settings accordingly:
+- the executable file name is either menhir or menhir.exe
+- the object file suffix is either .o or .obj
+
+2011/10/19:
+Added --strict, which causes many warnings about the grammar and about the
+automaton to be considered errors.
+
+2011/10/19:
+The # annotations that are inserted in the generated .ml file now retain their
+full path. (That is, we no longer use [Filename.basename].) This implies that
+the # annotations depend on how menhir is invoked -- e.g.  "menhir
+foo/bar.mly" and "cd foo && menhir bar.mly" will produce different
+results. Nevertheless, this seems reasonable and useful (e.g. in conjunction
+with ocamlbuild and a hierarchy of files). Thanks to Daniel Weil.
+
+2011/10/06:
+With the -lg 1 switch, Menhir now indicates whether the grammar is SLR(1).
+
+2011/05/24:
+Removed the lock in ocamldep.wrapper. It is the responsibility of the user
+to avoid interferences with other processes (or other instances of the script)
+that create and/or remove files.
+
+2011/04/28:
+The (internal) computation of the automaton's invariant was broken and has
+been fixed. Surprisingly, this does not seem to affect the generated code,
+(which was correct,) so no observable bug is fixed. Hopefully no bug is
+introduced!
+
+2011/04/07:
+The grammar description files (.mly) are now read in up front and stored in
+memory while they are parsed. This allows us to avoid the use of pos_in and
+seek_in, which do not work correctly when CRLF conversion is being performed.
+
+2011/04/05:
+Fixed a bug in the type inference module (for parameterized non-terminals)
+which would cause an infinite loop.
+
+2011/01/24:
+Fixed a bug that would cause an assertion failure in the generated parser
+in some situations where the input stream was incorrect and the grammar
+involved the error token. The fix might cause grammars that use the error
+token to behave differently (hopefully more accurately) as of now.
+
+2009/06/18:
+Makefile changes: build and install only the bytecode version of menhirLib
+when TARGET=byte is set.
+
+2009/02/06:
+Fixed ocamldep.wrapper to avoid quoting the name of the ocaml command.
+This is hoped to fix a compilation problem under MinGW.
+
+2009/02/04:
+A Makefile fix to avoid a problem under Windows/Cygwin.
+Renamed the ocaml-check-version script so as to avoid a warning.
+
+2008/09/05:
+Ocaml summer project: added --interpret, --table, and --suggest-*.
+
+2008/08/06:
+Fixed a problem that would cause the code inliner to abort when a semantic
+value and a non-terminal symbol happened to have the same name.
+
+2008/08/06:
+Removed code sharing.
+
+2008/06/20:
+Removed an incorrect assertion that caused failures (lr1.ml, line 134).
+
+2007/12/05:
+Disabled code sharing by default, as it is currently broken. (See Yann's
+message; assertion failure at runtime.)
+
+2007/12/01:
+Added an optimization to share code among states that have identical
+outgoing transition tables.
+
+2007/08/30:
+Small Makefile change: create an executable file for check-ocaml-version in
+order to work around the absence of dynamic loading on some platforms.
+
+2007/05/20:
+Made a fundamental change in the construction of the LR(1) automaton
+in order to eliminate a bug that could lead to spurious conflicts --
+thanks to Ketti for submitting a bug report.
+
+2007/05/18:
+Added --follow-construction to help understand the construction of the
+LR(1) automaton (very verbose).
+
+2007/05/11:
+Code generation: more explicit qualifications with Pervasives so as
+to avoid capture when the user redefines some of the built-in operators,
+such as (+).
+Added a new demo (calc-param) that shows how to use %parameter.
+
+2007/03/22:
+Makefile improvements (check for PREFIX; bootstrap in bytecode now
+also available). Slight changes to OMakefile.shared.
+
+2007/02/15:
+Portability fix in Makefile and Makefile.shared (avoided "which").
+
+2006/12/15:
+Portability fix in Makefile.shared (replaced "&>" with "2>&1 >").
+
+2006/06/23:
+Made a slight restriction to Pager's criterion so as to never introduce
+fake conflict tokens (see Lr0.compatible). This might help make conflict
+explanations more accurate in the future.
+
+2006/06/16:
+Fixed bug that would cause positions to become invalid after %inlining.
+
+2006/06/15:
+Fixed --depend to be more lenient when analyzing ocamldep's output.
+Added --raw-depend which transmits ocamldep's output unchanged (for
+use in conjunction with omake).
+
+2006/06/12:
+Fixed bug that would cause --only-preprocess to print %token declarations
+also for pseudo-tokens.
+Fixed bug that caused some precedence declarations to be incorrectly
+reported as useless.
+Improved things so that useless pseudo-tokens now also cause warnings.
+Fixed bug that would cause %type directives for terminal symbols to
+be incorrectly accepted.
+Fixed bug that would occur when a semantic action containing $i keywords
+was %inlined.
