GF 3.0

- -Krasimir Angelov, Björn Bringert, and Aarne Ranta
-Beta release, 27 June 2008 - - -

-GF Version 3.0 is a major revision of GF. The source language is a superset of the -language in 2.9, which means backward compatibility. But the target languages, the -compiler implementation, and the functionalities (e.g. the shell) have undergone -radical changes. -

New features

-Here is a summary of the main novelties visible to the user: -

Size: the source code and the executable binary size have gone - down to about the half of 2.9. -
Portability: the new back end format PGF (Portable Grammar Format) is - much simpler than the old GFC format, and therefore easier to port to new - platforms. -
Multilingual web page support: as an example of portability, GF 3.0 provides a - compiler from PGF to JavaScript. There are also JavaScript libraries for creating - translators and syntax editors as client-side web applications. -
Incremental parsing: there is a possibility of word completion when - input strings are sent to the parser. -
Application programmer's interfaces: both source-GF and PGF formats, - the shell, and the compiler are accessible via high-level APIs. -
Resource library version 1.4: more coverage, more languages; some of - the new GF language features are exploited. -
Uniform character encoding: UTF8 in generated files, user-definable in - source files -

Non-supported features

-There are some features of GF 2.9 that will not work in the 3.0 beta release. -

Java Editor GUI: we now see the JavaScript editor as the main form of - syntax editing. -
Pre-module multi-file grammar format: the grammar format of GF before version 2.0 - is still not yet supported. -
Context-free and EBNF input grammar formats. -
Probabilistic GF grammars. -
Some output formats: LBNF. -
Some GF shell commands: while the main ones will be supported with their familiar - syntax and options, some old commands have not been included. The GF shell - command help -changes gives the actual list. -
