- Split into 3 files: "peg.js", "options.js" and "usage.txt"
- Rewrote arguments parser and helpers to be more precise
- Any arguments after "--" will be passed to "options['--']" now
- Added negation options: "--no-cache" and "--no-trace"
- Added "bare" to accepted module formats
- Added 2 aliases for "--extra-options-file": "-c" and "--config"
- Added short options: "-a", "-f" and "-p"
- Reformatted help text in "usage.txt"
- Updated documentation related to command line options and normal options
- Changed "bin" field in "package.json" from "bin/pegjs" to "bin/peg"
- Added documentation note about command line options that are repeated
- Updated gulpfile.js, replacing "bin/pegjs" with "bin/*.js"
See #429, which was what I intended to fix/solve, but instead pushed back and did this instead.
The switch is mostly mechanical, with assertions translated 1:1. The
biggest non-mechanical part is rewriting Jasmine custom matchers as Chai
helpers. The matchers were streamlined and simplified in the process and
their messages were made more in line with messages produced by built-in
Chai helpers.
Fixes#409.
Instead of specifying tasks that are part of the "default" task using
dependencies and running them in parallel, execute them serially using
"run-sequence". This makes things deterministic and ensures that all
messages from all tasks are seen in the output (which wasn't the case
before, leading to confusion).
Version information is already present in package.json and no code uses
the VERSION file anymore. It doesn't make sense too keep it just for the
sake of following an old convention as it is a maintenance burden.
The core of the transition is getting rid of Makefile and replacing it
with gulpfile.js. The rest is details (fixing dependencies, changing all
references to "make", etc.).
Target/task names mostly stay the same, so in most cases "gulp foo" does
what "make foo" did before. The only exceptions are "make browser" and
"make browserclean", which are now "gulp browser:build" and "gulp
browser:clean" (it feels more systematic).
Functionality is mostly unchanged (modulo Gulp clutter in the console),
but there are two small exceptions:
gulp spec
The reporter now displays just dots while previously it displayed
spec descriptions. There is also a deprecation warning (most likely
because I used an old version of gulp-jasmine in order to support
Jasmine 1.x). I kept these issues unfixed because I plan to switch
to Mocha soon (#409).
gulp browser:build
The copyright header is now added manually both to the development
and minified build. Before, it was added only to the development
build and the minified build relied on preserving it using "uglify
--comments". This was broken since switching to //-style comments.
There is now also an empty line between the header and the source
code.
Fixes#444.
Note the update required disabling the "no-control-regex" rule, which
started reporting following errors:

Rename compiler passes as follows:
reportLeftRecursion -> reportInfiniteRecursion
reportInfiniteLoops -> reportInfiniteRepetition
This reflects the fact that both passes detect different ways of causing
the same problem (possible infinite loop when parsing).
The new terminology is more precise and in line with commonly used
programming languages.
The change involves mainly renaming related compiler pass and files
associated with it.
Implement the swap and change various directives in the source code. The
"make hint" target becomes "make lint".
The change leads to quite some errors being reported by ESLint. These
will be fixed in subsequent commits.
Note the configuration enables just the recommended rules. Later I plan
to enable more rules to enforce the coding standard. The configuration
also sets the environment to "node", which is far from ideal as the
codebase contains a mix of CommonJS, Node.js and browser code. I hope to
clean this up at some point.
Travis CI builds with Node.js 0.8.x started to fail:
https://travis-ci.org/dmajda/pegjs/jobs/26691570
Rather than investigating what's wrong I decided to stop supporting Node
0.8.x. Node.js 0.10.x is here for over a year, which should be enough
time for everyone to upgrade in the fast-paced Node.js world.
