@@ -3,6 +3,46 @@ changes between releases of flex. See the file COPYING for copying conditions. +* version 2.6.1 released 2016-03-01 + +** flex resources + +*** The flex project is now hosted at github. Consider this a "period of transition". In particular, you should start at https://github.com/westes/flex for the flex codebase, issue tracking and pull requests. + +*** New releases of flex are to be found at https://github.com/westes/flex/releases. + +** flex internals + +*** Flex now uses more modern and more standard names for variable types. There's more work to be done on that front yet, though. + +*** A number of compiler warnings have been remedied. + +*** Line directives should now work as expected and be absent when that is expected. + +** test suite + +*** When running the test suite, c++ files are compiled with the c++ header inside the flex distribution, rather than relying on the build system's flex header , which might not be installed yet or which might be out of date with respect to what flex tests expect. + +*** Some portability fixes in the test suite such as opening files for reading in binary mode + +** Building flex + +*** The file src/scan.c asdistributed with flex source is now built with the current version of flex. Occasionally this had to be done manually to pick up new flex features. It's now just a part of flex's build system. + +*** The pdf version of the manual is no longer distributed with flex, although if you have the texinfo package installed, you can still build it. + +*** lots of general build system cleanup + +*** the build system tries a bit harder to find libtoolize and texi2dvi. + +*** When help2man and texi2dvi are missing, the error messages are now much more helpful. + +** bug fixes + +*** resolved github issues #53, #54, #55, #61. + +*** Resolved sf bugs #128, #129, #155, #160, #184, #187, #195. + * version 2.6.0 released 2015-11-17 ** User Visible Changes |
