Hi - I am a little unclear as to what the download contains... are we talking one new lexer (say "LexRE.cxx") plus the demo properties file?

If so, why is there an apparently complete source tree in the download?


What are you expecting? someone to find time to explain to you why there is a complete download?

Well, no... I was hoping for either the new lexer's author (or Neil) to say:

1) that there are more widespread changes than just a single new lexer file

2) that it was considered easier to distribute even a "single-file" change this way because most people would rather get it like this than just be told to pull some funny source file from the site (or CVS) and integrate it themselves to build a test version

3) "Oh, you just want the .cxx and .properties files!  Here they are!"

4) ???

5) profit!

Note that as an actual contributor to the project, I keep a current (and regularly updated) copy of the source from the CVS repository - and would find it considerably more convenient to just stuff a new lexer into my local tree, UNLESS Neil or the new lexer's author suggests otherwise.
