Things have been pretty quiet here lately. All I can say about that is “life happens!” But I’m very pleased to announce that I am ready to release Gazelle 0.3! The download link is on the Gazelle homepage.
See the Release Notes for what has improved since the last release. The gist of is it that the compiler is a lot more robust: it catches more error cases and will never hang due to errors in the input. There is also explicit ambiguity resolution, which makes it possible to resolve the ambiguous “if then else” case explicitly. And this is all accompanied by a large test suite, since this grammar analysis is difficult and subtle.
The biggest remaining problem that keeps Gazelle from being practical is still the lack of whitespace handling. And this is exactly what the next release will fix.
