Summary:
Improvements to language processing tools and installation procedure.
Other minor bugfixes and enhancements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
installer:
- now handles the new ml-lpt-lib.cm
- there is now a new "library installer" that can be used
by shell scripts
SML/NJ library:
- UTF8 structure and signature (from Moby) added
CML:
- UTF8 structure and signature exported
runtime:
- added functionality to "shift" command line arguments
(like /bin/sh's "shift" command)
CM:
- during startup, while processing command-line arguments,
use the new "shift" functionality (see above) to trim
down the argument list;
this way one can easily write ML code that (when executed via
the command line) takes over control and processes all
remaining arguments;
this functionality is utilized by the new library installer
- CM plugins for tools (e.g., ml-burg, ml-ulex, ml-antlr) now live
within their respective source trees and are installed
by the library installer
language processing tools:
- manual is up-to-date with the code
- many minor improvements
- a few minor bugfixes
- added support for stream created from several kinds of sources
