fluent.syntax 0.14.0
Pre-releaseThis release of fluent.syntax brings support for version 0.9 of the Fluent
Syntax spec. The API remains unchanged. Files written in valid Syntax 0.8 may
parse differently in this release. See the compatibility note below. Consult
the full Syntax 0.9 changelog for details.
-
Flatten complex reference expressions.
Reference expressions which may take complex forms, such as a reference
to a message's attribute, or a parameterized reference to an attribute of
a term, are now stored in a simplified manner. Instead of nesting
multiple expression nodes (e.g.CallExpressionof an
AttributeExpressionof aTermReference), all information is available
directly in the reference expression.This change affects the following AST nodes:
MessageReferencenow has an optionalattributefield,FunctionReferencenow has a requiredargumentsfield,TermReferencenow has an optionalattributefield and an optional
argumentsfield.
-
Remove
VariantLists.The
VariantListsand theVariantExpressionsyntax and AST nodes were
deprecated in Syntax 0.9 and have now been removed. -
Rename
StringLiteral.rawtovalue.StringLiteral.valuecontains the exact contents of the string literal,
character-for-character. Escape sequences are stored verbatim without
processing. A new method,Literal.parse, can be used to process the raw
value of the literal into an unescaped form. -
Rename
argstoarguments.The
argsfield ofMessageReference,TermReference,
FunctionReference, andAnnotationhas been renamed toarguments.
Backward-incompatible changes:
VariantListsare no longer valid syntax. A syntax error is reported
when aVariantListor aVariantExpressionis found in the parsed file
