A new release of CG-3 has been tagged v1.3.0 (r13684), in preparation for the NoDaLiDa 2019 Constraint Grammar Workshop ( https://visl.sdu.dk/nodalida2019.html ) which takes starts in 11 hours.
Been two and a half years since last formal round-up of features and changes, but things have steadily progressed. Bugs/issues/request are now on Github https://github.com/TinoDidriksen/cg3, though the authoritative code remains in VISL's svn. New features: - Added LIST-TAGS which is very similar to STRICT-TAGS: https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/tags.html#list-tags - Rules ADD/MAP/COPY now takes BEFORE|AFTER to mark where exactly you want the new tags to go. This was implemented to alleviate the need for abusing SUBSTITUTE: https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/rules.html#rules-cheatsheet - Added 3 functions to the C API from Paul Meurer <[email protected]> - Added META tags to query non-CG information: https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/tags.html#stream-metadata - Added stream static tags: https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/tags.html#stream-static-tags - New tool cg-sort which performs the equivalent of sort|uniq on each cohort's readings. Does not yet handle sub-readings. - Added PROTECT and UNPROTECT to mark readings as untouchable: https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/rules.html#protect - Added contextual modifier N to say that self should not count as the barrier: https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/dependencies.html#dep-ct-no-barrier - New tool cg-untrace which strips tracing information from the stream, which means all deleted readings and trace tags. - Added -o / --ordered cmdline flag. For now, this only makes duplicate tags actually matter when determining whether or not a reading is identical to another. - Added MERGECOHORTS: https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/rules.html#mergecohorts - Added cmdline flag --deleted to treat ; readings in the input as proper deleted readings, instead of as text. - Added shorthand syntax @< and @> to jump to the absolute position in the respectively previous and next window. - Added INCLUDE STATIC to only include the non-rule parts of another grammar. Very useful if you have an existing grammar that you want to separate some parts of without duplicating set definitions: https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3/chunked/grammar.html#grammar-include - Added a Python 3 module from Lokendra Singh <[email protected]> Changes: - For self-tests, BARRIER now also tests and stops if the selv matches it - When tracing, invisible magic readings are now given form - CG-3 now assumes UTF-8 for all I/O, and the -C and --codepage-* options are deprecated - Code now takes much more advantage of C++14 and C99 - Named relations can now be constructed from captured snippets, same as varstrings - Regex captures from dependency target contexts are now allowed, even without any captures in normal target contexts - Cmdline flag --num-windows is now exact. Before it was merely a minimum. - Map/Add/etc mapping sets can now be a mix of inline and sets, as long as everything is of LIST-type. - The symbol ! is no longer an alias of the fail-fast prefix ^ - The tools now all default to being silent when in processing mode - Detects and breaks out if MOVE/SWITCH goes into an endless loop - COPY EXCEPT will now except from sub-readings as well as main reading - Now warns when ** is used in contexts where it doesn't make sense - Multiple distinct &&-unification sets can now be active at the same time in different uses - For &&-unification, you can use the same set for different unified matches by prefixing the set name with a number and colon. E.g., &&SAME-SEM is a different match than &&1:SAME-SEM. Fixed Bugs: - Linked OR'ed templates now actually work - COPY now also copies sub-readings - Better maintain reading order through various manipulations Main site is https://visl.sdu.dk/cg3.html Google Group is https://groups.google.com/group/constraint-grammar Source snapshots available at https://github.com/TinoDidriksen/cg3 Windows binary is at https://apertium.projectjj.com/win32/nightly/ OS X binary is at https://apertium.projectjj.com/osx/nightly/ RHEL/Fedora/CentOS/OpenSUSE packages are at https://apertium.projectjj.com/rpm/howto.txt Debian/Ubuntu packages are at https://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/howto.txt -- Tino Didriksen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Constraint Grammar" group.
