Changes for version 3.001_001

  • Bug fix: progress reports had both missing and spurious Earley items. Problematic Earley items were incomplete items with at least one proper nullable. Incomplete items are those whose dot is not at the end of the rule. Proper nullables are symbols which are nullable but not nulling. Problematic items were obscure enough so that no user ever noticed the issue -- it was discovered in a code review. But it is now fixed.
  • Bug fix: Unicode in DSL scripts now works correctly.
