I am pleased to announce a new release of PARSEC, a fast monadic parser library for Haskell. The PARSEC library is written for practice and uses some novel techniques to improve its speed and to give good error messages. It ships with extensive support libraries and documentation. PARSEC is distributed with GHC but GHC 5.02 unfortunately includes an older version. PARSEC can be downloaded from: http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/daan/parsec.html I would like to thank the many(!) people that have written me with advice and comments that improved the library. Have fun, Daan Leijen. ------------------------------------------------------------- New features: * The ability to use a seperate lexer. The parsers work on any kind of token stream instead of just characters. * A user definable state, very convenient to maintain a symbol table. * A module to parse permutation phrases [1]. * A parameterized lexical analyser module. * New combinators like "sepEndBy" ------------------------------------------------------------- [1] Arthur Baars, Andres Loh and Doaitse Swierstra "Parsing Permutation Phrases" Proceedings of the Haskell Workshop 2001.
