Announcing the release of a new version of ANTLR, the successor to
PCCTS. Version 2.20 includes


o Grammar inheritance. Define a new grammar as it differs from
  an existing grammar.


o Great new lexical translation support. You can also now
  pass a heterogeneous stream of token objects to the
  parser; great for languages like HTML.


o Much improved AST support.


o Lots of bug fixes.


o A groovy example: HTML file indexer; used it to build TOC
  for ANTLR doc.


o An updated Java grammar that groks all of Java 1.1.


I've updated the documentation and added a new
"ANTLR Field Guide and Survival Manual"...small, but
will grow fast.


I'd also like to announce the new ANTLR home page:


  http://www.ANTLR.org


Check out that site to grab the new version.
