<h1>1 Syntax_Tools Release Notes</h1>
<p>This document describes the changes made to the Syntax_Tools
application.</p>
<h3><a name="id61815">1.1
Syntax_Tools 1.6.9</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Syntax Tools 1.6.9</p>
<p>
Minor bugfixes, spec annotations and documentation
cleanup. Thanks to Richard Carlsson</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10208</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id61846">1.2
Syntax_Tools 1.6.8</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Minor suppressions and fixes of compilation
warnings</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10016</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id59876">1.3
Syntax_Tools 1.6.7.2</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Variables are now now allowed in '<span class="code">fun M:F/A</span>' as
suggested by Richard O'Keefe in EEP-23.</p>
<p>The representation of '<span class="code">fun M:F/A</span>' 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 <span class="code">syntax_tools</span> application can also handle both
formats.</p>
<p>
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9643</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Eliminate use of deprecated regexp module</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9810</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id62122">1.4
Syntax_Tools 1.6.7.1</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p> In a file containing declarations and comments
without any empty lines between them, the
<span class="code">recomment_forms()</span> function would associate a
multi-line comment with the declaration above it rather
than the one following it. (Thanks to Richard Carlsson
and Kostis Sagonas.) </p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9180</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id62157">1.5
Syntax_Tools 1.6.7</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Miscellaneous updates</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8976</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id62187">1.6
Syntax_Tools 1.6.6</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>

<p>
Own Id: OTP-8709</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id60497">1.7
Syntax_Tools 1.6.5</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>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. </p>
<p>- The arity calculation is updated.</p>
<p>- 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".</p>
<p>- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html
documentation when a new page is loaded.</p>
<p>- A number of corrections in the generation of man
pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)</p>
<p>- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so
OTP's build process can be used for non OTP
applications.</p>

Syntax_Tools 1.6.4</a></h3>
