The More Human than Human Parser

With this release, HPG becomes more human in various ways:

• Error reporting now includes more and correct contextual information
• AST and Parser Models have a new implementation for ToString, producing C# code to reproduce them
• The parser itself is constructed using an inner parsing DSL

Various bugs were squashed, of which the most important:

• Changed precedence of sequences and alternatives

New features include:

• Support for detecting and applying List pattern
• Alternative syntax constructions to support more EBNF and BNF better
• Support for MSBuild and building on Windows
• New examples: DB2 DDL and Mini Java
• More documentation on the wiki, including annotated examples and tutorial

And many, many other small fixes and improvements...
Enjoy!

Pre-release, supporting WIP Tutorial

Version 1.1 of the HPG will introduce significant improvements over the first release with respect to the emitted code, error reporting and supported grammar structures. With this release a tutorial will be provided, showing how to go from a verbatim grammar, found on the internet, to an optimised grammar for HPG.

This pre-release offers a downloadable binary of the current HPG, which allows for reproducing the steps in the tutorial.
