Announcement: Alex under new license and management. Alex, the Haskell-based scanner-generator, has been relicensed with a BSD-style license (it was under the GPL) in preparation for integration with Happy, the Haskell-based parser generator. Isaac Jones has kindly and heroically undertaken this task of integrating the two packages. As the two packages work quite well as they are it is expected that the first release of the combined packages will do little more than bundle them together, but we have ambitions to go further, and to better adapt the run-time behaviour of Alex-generated scanners to suit the big Haskell compilers such as GHC. Until the integration has been completed the new home for Alex is http://www.syntaxpolice.org/~ijones/alex/ Please email Isaac (ijones@syntaxpolice.org) if you have any queries. Cheers, Chris Dornan cdornan@arm.com
