[?] + +** build + +*** Flex now includes its own <config.h> header before including + system headers so that any system specific features detected by + configure are taken into account during compilation of flex + itself. + +*** The flex build system now includes Makefile targets at the top + level to allow just building and installing libfl. + +*** The flex distribution now includes a file, src/libfl.pc, to allow + using pkgconfig to find out what flags to use when building + against libfl from flex. + +*** Various edge cases, mostly involving out-of-tree builds have been + accounted for in the autotools build system. + +*** A crash during building on NetBSD has been fixed. + +*** Flex is now automatically built by travis-ci. That should increase + the visibility of bugs and help prevent regressions. + +** documentation + +*** a new Ukrainian translation has been submitted from the Translation Project. + +** scanner + +*** Some memory leaks have been fixed. + +*** A long standing bug that effected expressions of the form c{i,j} + where 'c' is a character and {i,j} describes the number of times + to match against 'c' when case sensitivity was turned on has been + fixed. + +*** New option: --backup-file allows setting the name of the file + written containing backing up information. Useful if you need + backing up information from multiple scanners in the same + directory. + +*** flex emits correct line number directives when line numbers refer + to the file containing the line number directives. + +*** The options {no,}yy{get,set}_column are now supported. + +** test + +*** Generating the various tableoptions make rules is now more portable. + +*** Tests of the options -C*f and -C*F will now run correctly on + filesystems that are not case sensitive. + * Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.4 (2017-05-06) [stable] ** build |
