The previous disambiguation method (with filters) was wiped out. We have reached almost the same state with AG as we had with disambiguation filters, although template disambiguation is a bit worse. * Improve whole parsing performance. The AG evaluator previously worked dynamically using Stratego dynamic rules. It is now compiled into a binary, making the disambiguation process 20 times faster. * Use pkg-config for all packages configuration. In this release we have introduced pkg-config for locating packages and their configuration. There is no need of --with-* options anymore. ---+++ Download and Installation The release page contains the source distributions, and detailed instructions on how to install the distributions: * http://www.lrde.epita.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Transformers/TransformersReleas… Note that this release still depends on StrategoXT/0.14. Another release will come soon with StrategoXT/0.16 support. ---+++ Bugs and Known Problems See our issue tracking system for reports about (open) bugs: * [[https://gforge.lrde.epita.fr/]] Please report any problems with installation or bugs in the implementation to our issue tracking system.
