Changelog of @hackage/GenI 0.20.2

GenI 0.20, 29 Sep 2009

NON BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE CHANGES
- GHC 6.8 or higher now required (GHC 6.10 + Haskell Platform preferred)
- Input files now assumed to be UTF-8 encoded (output still ISO8859-1; hopefully locale-based in GHC 6.12)
- Interface between GenI and morphological realiser now uses a JSON format.
- Rootfeat optimisation now mandatory (flag no longer recognised)
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- new flag --version now works and reports version from Cabal file
- new flag --dump dumps derivation output to stdout in JSON format
- new flag --ranking foo ranks outputs according to OT-style constraints expressed in foo
- --batchdir now works with --testcase
- --batchdir now dumps derivations and statistics in JSON format
- --batchdir now works with instructions files
- --metrics always expands 'default' to the default metrics (in addition to any other statistics you request)
- new optimisation: early null-adjunction detection
QUALITY ASSURANCE
- Reference manual in docs/genimanual.pdf (make docs)
- cabal install -fgui and cabal install produce the same underlying library only the executable is different
- Easier GUI installation for MacOS X (application bundles now built automatically; no manual intervention required)
- Adopted odd/even convention to distinguish devel builds from stable ones (eg. GenI 0.21.x is devel whereas GenI 0.20.x is stable)

Simplified build method
- one single cabal package instead of two
- cabal configure -f-gui to disable GUI
- makefile stripped out
Lexical selection on empty semantics now allowed
- This is so that the zero-literal semantics mechanism can work again
Better help text
Baked-in unit testing (geni --unit-test)
