INFO FOR PEOPLE ADDING CHANGES:
Check the DTD (apichanges.dtd) for details on the syntax. You do not
need to regenerate the HTML, this will be done periodically; just
change the XML. If you can, validate the XML against the DTD, if not
do not worry about it. Rough syntax of a change (several parts optional):
<change>
<api name="compiler"/>
<summary>Some brief description here, can use <b>XHTML</b></summary>
<version major="1" minor="99"/>
<date day="13" month="6" year="2001"/>
<author login="jrhacker"/>
<compatibility addition="yes"/>
<description>
The main description of the change here.
Again can use full <b>XHTML</b> as needed.
</description>
<class package="org.openide.compiler" name="DoWhatIWantCompiler"/>
<issue number="14309"/>
</change>
Also permitted elements: <package>, <branch>. <version> is API spec
version, recommended for all new changes. <compatibility> should say
if things were added/modified/deprecated/etc. and give all information
related to upgrading old code. List affected top-level classes and
link to issue numbers if applicable. See the DTD for more details.
Changes need not be in any particular order, they are sorted in various
ways by the stylesheet anyway.
Dates are assumed to mean "on the trunk". If you *also* make the same
change on a stabilization branch, use the <branch> tag to indicate this
and explain why the change was made on a branch in the <description>.
Please only change this file on the trunk! Rather: you can change it
on branches if you want, but these changes will be ignored; only the
trunk version of this file is important.
Deprecations do not count as incompatible, assuming that code using the
deprecated calls continues to see their documented behavior. But do
specify deprecation="yes" in <compatibility>.
This file is not a replacement for Javadoc: it is intended to list changes,
not describe the complete current behavior, for which ordinary documentation
is the proper place.

<description>
<p>
Support for token hierarchy snapshots and generic character preprocessing
was removed from the API and SPI since there were no usecases yet
and it should be possible to add the functionality later in a backward compatible way.
Some more changes regarding generification etc. were performed.

<description>
<p>
Joining sections embeddings now supported and some minor changes
were introduced like adding <code>LanguagePath.parent()</code>.
Some is* methods with trivial implementations were removed from LanguagePath.
<code>TokenChange.embeddedChange(Language)</code> was removed because
there might be multiple such changes and they can be gathered
with existing methods.
</p>

<issue number="93644"/>
</change>
<change id="api.PartType.added">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Added PartType for token parts support</summary>

that identifies whether the token is COMPLETE or which part
of a complete token this part represents (START, INNER or END).
</p>
</description>
<issue number="91184"/>
</change>
<change id="api.tokensequence.move.semantics">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Changed TokenSequence.move() and moveIndex() use</summary>
<version major="1" minor="13"/>
<date day="16" month="1" year="2007"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility source="incompatible" deletion="yes" addition="yes" modification="yes"/>
<description>
<p>
Changed the <code>TokenSequence.move()</code> to position <b>before</b> the particular token
that "contains" the offset (or after the last token if the given offset
is too high). Additional <code>moveNext()</code> is necessary
to actually move to the next token.
<br/>
<code>TokenSequence.moveIndex()</code> was modified in a similar way
(see javadocs).
<br/>
<code>TokenSequence.moveFirst()</code> and <code>moveLast()</code>
were replaced by <code>moveStart()</code> that positionins before
the first token and by <code>moveEnd()</code> that positions
after the last token.
<br/>
<code>TokenSequence.isEmpty()</code> added to check whether there are
no tokens in the TS.
</p>
</description>
<issue number="90796"/>
</change>
<change id="api.lexer.release">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Added Lexer.release()</summary>
<version major="1" minor="12"/>
<date day="7" month="12" year="2006"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility source="incompatible" deletion="no" addition="yes" modification="no"/>
<description>
<p>
Added <code>Lexer.release()</code> useful for lexer instances caching.
</p>
</description>
<issue number="89000"/>
</change>
<change id="api.customembedding">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Adding custom embedding creation TokenSequence.createEmbedding()</summary>
<version major="1" minor="11"/>
<date day="23" month="11" year="2006"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility source="incompatible" deletion="no" addition="yes" modification="no"/>
<description>
<p>
Extracted <code>TokenHierarchyEvent.Type</code> inner class
into <code>TokenHierarchyEventType</code> top-level class.
<br/>
Adding <code>TokenSequence.createEmbedding()</code>
method for creation of a custom embedding.
<code>TokenHierarchyEventType.EMBEDDING</code> fired
after embedding creation.
<br/>
Affected offset information (<code>affectedStartOffset()</code>
and <code>affectedEndOffset()</code>) moved
from <code>TokenChange</code> to <code>TokenHierarchyEvent</code>
<br/>
There can be now more than one embedded change in a TokenChange.
<br/>
Removed <code>tokenComplete</code> parameter from
<code>LanguageHierarchy.embedding()</code> because the token incompletness
will be handled in a different way.
<br/>
Swapped order of <code>token</code> and <code>languagePath</code>
parameters in <code>LanguageProvider</code> to be in sync with
<code>LanguageHierarchy.embedding()</code>.
<br/>
<code>LanguageEmbedding</code> is now a final class
(instead of abstract class) with private constructor
and static <code>create()</code> method. That allows better control
over the evolution of the class and it also allows to cache the created embeddings
to save memory.
<br/>
<code>LanguageEmbedding</code> is now generified with the
<code>T extends TokenId</code> which is a generification
of the language which it contains.
<br/>
<code>TokenHierarchy.languagePaths()</code> set contains all language paths
used in the token hierarchy. <code>TokenHierarchyEventType.LANGUAGE_PATHS</code>
fired after change of that set.
</p>

<issue number="86473"/>
</change>
<change id="api.languageDescription.find">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Adding LanguageDescription.find(String mimePath)</summary>
<version major="1" minor="10"/>
<date day="18" month="10" year="2006"/>
<author login="vstejskal"/>
<compatibility source="compatible" deletion="no" addition="yes" modification="no"/>
<description>
<p>
Adding the LanguageDescription.find(String mimePath) method, which can
be used for looking up <code>LanguageDescription</code>s by their
mime types.
</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="spi.languageprovider.findLanguageEmbedding">
<api name="spi"/>
<summary>LanguageProvider.findEmbeddedLanguage() changed to findLanguageEmbedding</summary>
<version major="1" minor="9"/>
<date day="12" month="10" year="2006"/>
<author login="vstejskal"/>
<compatibility source="incompatible" deletion="no" addition="no" modification="yes"/>
<description>
<p>
LanguageProvider.findEmbeddedLanguage() method signature was changed.
The method is now called findLanguageEmbedding and returns
LanguageEmbedding instead of just LanguageDescription.
</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="generification.improved">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Improved generification</summary>
<version major="1" minor="8"/>
<date day="11" month="10" year="2006"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility source="incompatible" deletion="no" addition="no" modification="yes"/>
<description>
<p>
Generification of methods of LanguagePath, TokenSequence and other classes
has been improved.
</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="api.tokensequence.move">
<api name="spi"/>
<summary>TokenSequence.moveOffset() renamed to move()</summary>
<version major="1" minor="7"/>
<date day="18" month="9" year="2006"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility source="incompatible" deletion="no" addition="no" modification="yes"/>
<description>
<p>
TokenSequence.moveOffset() was renamed to TokenSequence.move().
The original TokenSequence.move() which is seldom used
was renamed to TokenSequence.moveIndex().
</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="spi.languageprovider">
<api name="spi"/>
<summary>Added LanguageProvider</summary>
<version major="1" minor="6"/>
<date day="14" month="9" year="2006"/>
<author login="vstejskal"/>
<compatibility source="compatible" deletion="no" addition="yes" modification="no"/>
<description>
<p>
The LanguageProvider class was added to the SPI package. It is possible
to register instances of this class in the default lookup. The lexer
module will use them to find LanguageDescriptions for documents (
according to their mime types) and for tokens, which contain embedded
language.
</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="spi.tokenhandler">
<api name="spi"/>
<summary>Removed TokenIdFilter and TokenHandler</summary>
<version major="1" minor="5"/>
<date day="30" month="8" year="2006"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility source="incompatible" deletion="yes" addition="yes" modification="yes"/>
<description>
<p>
The TokenIdFilter class was removed from the API. Instead of it
Set&lt;? extends TokenId&gt; should be used where appropriate.
<br/>
With the TokenFactory now being final the TokenHandler is no longer needed.
The few remaining overridable SPI methods were moved to LanguageHierarchy
and the TokenHandler class was removed.
<br/>
LanguagePath and InputAttributes parameters were added
to LanguageHierarchy.createLexer() (to the end of the existing
parameters) in order to allow the lexer to react to input attributes.
<br/>
For consistency the parameters of LanguageHierarchy.embedding()
were reordered so that the LanguagePath and InputAttributes parameters
are also at the end of the list and in the same order.
</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="api.rebuild">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Rebuilt the API and SPI completely</summary>
<version major="1" minor="4"/>
<date day="5" month="5" year="2006"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility source="incompatible" deletion="yes" addition="yes" modification="yes"/>
<description>
<p>
The original API and SPI were <b>rebuilt completely</b> (under editor_api branch)
to comply with the standard requirements for the NetBeans APIs and allow
for better API evolution in the future.
<br/>
The major version of the lexer module was increased to 2.
</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="lexerinput.getreadtext">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Added LexerInput.getReadText() and LexerInput.isEOFLookahead()</summary>
<version major="1" minor="3"/>
<date day="16" month="5" year="2003"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility addition="yes"/>
<description>
There were two methods added into <code>org.netbeans.api.lexer.LexerInput</code>:
<ul>
<li><code>LexerInput.getReadText(int start, int end)</code></li>
<li><code>LexerInput.isEOFLookahead()</code></li>
</ul>
<p>LexerInput.backup(int count) now accepts negative values too
to redo character backups.
</p>
<p>These methods are necessary for more efficient handling of the input.</p>
<p>Unfortunately this change is incompatible as the LexerInput is interface.</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="lexerinput.readlength">
<api name="api"/>
<summary>Added LexerInput.getReadLength() and LexerInput.createToken(TokenId, tokenLength)
and renamed TokenTextMatcher to SampleTextMatcher</summary>
<version major="1" minor="2"/>
<date day="20" month="9" year="2002"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility addition="yes"/>
<description>
There were two methods added into <code>org.netbeans.api.lexer.LexerInput</code>:
<ul>
<li><code>LexerInput.getReadLength()</code></li>
<li><code>LexerInput.createToken(TokenId id, int tokenLength)</code></li>
</ul>
These methods are necessary for efficient support of the Antlr lexers.
<br></br>Unfortunately this change is incompatible as the LexerInput
is interface.
<p>
The <code>TokenTextMatcher</code> was renamed to <code>SampleTextMatcher</code>
which should be better name than the original one. Documentation was also updatged.
It should be now more clear that there can be zero or more samples for the text
of each token and that the <code>SampleTextMatcher</code> encapsulates
the given samples and can check whether the token's text matches one of them.
</p>
</description>
</change>
<change id="api.lexer.swing">
<api name="swing"/>
<summary>Added swing subpackage to API</summary>
<version major="1" minor="1"/>
<date day="20" month="9" year="2002"/>
<author login="mmetelka"/>
<compatibility addition="yes"/>
<description>
<p>
That API subpackage will contain swing-related API of the lexer
in the org.netbeans.api.lexer.swing package.
<br></br>I have removed Language.find(String mimeType) - it never worked.
<br></br>I have added Language.getValidId(int intId).
<br></br>The whole API and implementation was moved from libsrc
to src (libsrc is now abandoned) in order to better adhere
to module conventions.

<h1>Introduction</h1>
<h2>What do the Dates Mean?</h2>
<p>The supplied dates indicate when the API change was made, on the CVS
trunk. From this you can generally tell whether the change should be
present in a given build or not; for trunk builds, simply whether it
was made before or after the change; for builds on a stabilization
branch, whether the branch was made before or after the given date. In
some cases corresponding API changes have been made both in the trunk
and in an in-progress stabilization branch, if they were needed for a
bug fix; this ought to be marked in this list.</p>
