1 Syntax_Tools Release Notes

Own Id: OTP-10208

Own Id: OTP-10016
1.3 Syntax_Tools 1.6.7.2
Improvements and New Features
-
Variables are now now allowed in 'fun M:F/A' as suggested by Richard O'Keefe in EEP-23.
The representation of 'fun M:F/A' in the abstract format has been changed in an incompatible way. Tools that directly read or manipulate the abstract format (such as parse transforms) may need to be updated. The compiler can handle both the new and the old format (i.e. extracting the abstract format from a pre-R15 BEAM file and compiling it using compile:forms/1,2 will work). The syntax_tools application can also handle both formats.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

1.4 Syntax_Tools 1.6.7.1
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

The documentation is now possible to build in an open source environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2" instead of "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.
