Is there a list of changes since the ANTLR book was published? I know 4.10 just added the caseinsensitive grammar option, and I've recently learned about using $parser in semantic predicates, but I'm guessing there are probably more.

You will be surprised but I in fact have a list. I think I proposed something to the publisher I don't know I don't have time:
* added a profiler interface and profiler GUI in intellij plug-in
add small chapter in part three on advanced topics… I probably would not have time to do something really involved.
* we slightly altered ANTLRErrorStrategy interface.
small change probably just in the API chapter
* changed syntax for <assoc=right>
small change wherever I reference that syntax
* added channels{} syntax
this is technically not released yet but we could do a release as part of the book update. alter 15.5 and 15.2
* tweak discussion of how we do left recursion illumination
Alter chapter 14; alter the rules and 14.1 and alter the generated output in 14.2
* Added XPath
alter chapter 7 on decoupling actions from the grammar to include small section on using xpath to find nodes in a parse tree. small example. Add brief notes to chapter 2 big picture to reference this section.
* Added interpreters for lexer and parser
Add a section in chapter 13 on the API
* we added C# and python2, 3 support.
* [minor] $e cannot be used to reference the enclosing rule e. Must use $ctx
* Lexer actions can appear anywhere, not just at the end
alter 15.5
