v5.0.1

  * changed the matching of `where' clauses in a
    backwards-incompatible way. Previously, pattern variables bound by
    a `where' left-hand side shadowed bindings from earlier clauses
    and the case's left-hand side; now, `where' clauses match only
    when their bindings match the existing ones. 

  * fixed minor bugs

v5.0

  * added an optional term-equivalence predicate to the test--> and
    test-->> forms

  * added R6RS and Racket VM models to examples sub-collection

  * fixed minor bugs
  
v4.2.5

  * reversed the order in which `where' and `side-condition' clauses
    appear in typeset definitions

  * added support for `where' and `side-condition' clauses that do not
    appear in the metafunction's typeset definition

  * added a #:print? flag to redex-check, to control whether it prints
    or returns its result

  * renamed the #:attempts keyword to #:attempt-num in the `generate-term' form

  * changed typesetting to render `where' clauses as `fresh' clauses
    when the right-hand side is a call to `variable-not-in' or 
    `variables-not-in'

  * changed typesetting of meta-variables to render anything following
    a caret (^) as a superscript

  * minor bug fixes

v4.2.4

  * minor bug fixes

v4.2.3

  * added support for collecting metafunction coverage, using the
    'relation-coverage' parameter. This includes a backwards
    incompatible change: the parameter's value is now a list of
    coverage structures, to allow coverage collection for multiple 
    metafunctions and reduction relations at once.

  * redex/reduction-semantics exports the names `hole' and `in-hole'
    (and `term' no longer captures those names).

  * minor bug fixes

v4.2.2

  * minor bug fixes

v4.2.1

  * improved 'where' conditions in metafunctions and
    reduction-relations so that they work with Redex's full pattern
    language. 

    This is a backwards incompatible change. In old versions,
    variables used in a where clause were independent of the pattern
    language. Now, if the variable in a where clause is a literal in
    the grammar, the result of the where clause must be that
    literal. Similarly, if the variable is a non-terminal, the result
    must match that non-terminal.

  * added 'define-relation' 

  * relaxed the restrictions on metafunctions so that multiple
    pattern matches are allowed, as long as the right-hand side
    has the same value for each different pattern binding

  * added metafunction styles 'up-down/compact-side-conditions,
    'left-right/compact-side-conditions, and 
    'left-right/beside-side-conditions.

  * added #:x-spacing and #:y-spacing parameters to traces and
    traces/ps

  * changed the grammar for 'side-condition' clauses
    from (side-condition scheme-expression ... )
    to (side-condition scheme-expression)

v4.2

  * minor bug fixes

v4.1.5

  * renamed test--> to test-->>

  * added a new test--> that only tests for a single step in the
    reduction sequence

  * added #:cycles-ok flag to (what is now called) test-->>

  * define-metafunction and reduction-relation now work better with
    Check Syntax
    
  * added the #:arrow keyword to reduction-relation, which lets you use
    a different main arrow (mostly useful for the typesetting)

  * added domain specifications to reduction relations via
    the #:domain keyword

  * 'traces' copes better with errors during reduction 

  * initial-char-width now accepts functions to give finer grained
    control of the initial widths of the terms.

  * traces & traces/ps: added the ability to specify a mixin
    to be mixed into the graph pasteboard

  * added built-in patterns natural, integer, and real
  
v4.1.4

  * added redex-check, a tool for automatically generating test cases
    for Redex specifications.

  * improved traces for use in generating PostScript:

    - added traces/ps

    - added more coloring arguments to traces: #:scheme-colors? 
    #:default-arrow-highlight-color, and #:default-arrow-color

    - added the #:layout argument to traces 

    - added term-node-set-position! and related term-node functions

  * Added tracing to metafunctions (see current-traced-metafunctions)

  * added caching-enabled? parameter (changed how set-cache-size! 
    works)

v4.1.2

  - added white-bracket-sizing to control how the brackets
    are typeset when rendering a metafunction.

  - added render-* functions that make it easier to experiment
    with typesetting at the REPL.

  - where clauses in metafunctions now are implicitly in
    `term's (they were not documented at all before)

v4.1 (this is the first version that was included in the PLT
      distribution. Before this, Redex was in PLaneT).

  EXTENSIONS:

  - added test-equal, test-pred, test-reduces, and test-results

  - removed restriction on apply-reduction-relation*
    replaced it with additional work while matching
    non-terminals to remove the redundancy

  - added `in-domain?'

  CHANGES:

  - define-metafunction and co. now use a different syntax.

  - got rid of named holes. This means, eg, that (hole #f) now matches
    a two element list, not just the hole directly.

  - zero occurrences of a hole when matching an `in-hole' now
    correctly fails.

  - the `where' keyword in reduction-relation became `with' (and the
    arguments reversed order)

  - renamed the `rib' struct to `bind' (and mismatch-rib =>
    mismatch-bind)

  - merged the various traces functions into a single
    function that accepts keyword arguments.

  - renamed the loc-wrapper struct to lw.

  - language->ps and language->pict's listof-symbols is now
    optional and thus the language->ps's arguments changed
    order to make that work.

  - renamed test-match to redex-match

  - no long export mtch struct or bindings struct and
    test-match's result is not simplified.

  - extend-reduction-relation now uses the names of the
    rules to replace existing rules (instead of just
    unioning the rules)

  - in-hole used to substitute into named holes, but now it
    only substitutes into unnamed holes. Use in-named-hole
    on the right-hand side to do the substitution

  - removed hole-here

  BUG FIXES:

  - fixed a (not easily noticed) bug in the way hole
    matching worked for named holes.

  - extending a non-terminal that's been defined together
    with other non-terminals now works as expected.

  - handling of non-terminals uses that have underscores in
    them now works properly (only showed up when using them
    in the definition of a language)

  - an extended language can now define multiple non-terminals
    together

("robby" "redex.plt" 3 0)

This release changes the syntax of the reduction relations
to make it more consistent and more in line with the way
reduction relations are written in papers. This is the
precise set of removals and additions:

  - added extend-language
  - added reduction-rule & apply-reduction-relation
  - added union-reduction-relations
  - added define-language

  - changed compatible-closure & context-closure so that the
    pattern argument is not quoted, but is just the pattern
    in the last argument.

  - changed term-node-labels so that it can return #f (in
    the list) when a reduction doesn't have a label.

  - removed language->predicate, compile-pattern,
    match-pattern (use test-match instead)

  - removed reduction, reduction/name, reduction/context,
    reduction/context/name (use reduction-relation instead)

  - removed red? (use reduction-relation? instead)

  - removed reduce (use apply-reduction-relation instead)

  - removed reduce-all (use apply-reduction-relation* insetad)

  - removed reduce/tag-with-reduction (use
    apply-reduction-relation/tag-with-names instead)

  - removed red-name, reduction->name, give-name

  - removed language (use define-language instead)

  - removed helper.ss

Other improvements:

  - check syntax draws arrows for the non-terminals in a
    `language' now, both to the language and to the
    reduction rules.

("robby" "redex.plt" 2 6)

  - added reduce-all and note about bad parsing performance
    issues.

  - added `test-match' and note about how to debug redex
    programs to doc.txt

    pattern matching notation used in reductions and grammars.

("robby" "redex.plt" 2 5) 

  - fixed bugs in compatible-closure & context-closure

("robby" "redex.plt" 2 4) 

  - reduced the amount of memory used for caching
    significantly (with some small speedup for 
    a largeish reduction semantics test suite)

  - added set-cache-size!

  - added variable-prefix pattern

  - added ..._<id> pattern that can be used to ensure matching
    lengths of repeated patterns.

  - added _!_ subscripts (both in ... and regular) to ensure
    that the matched things are different (or have different
    lengths in the case of ..._!_ subscripts)

("robby" "redex.plt" 2 3) 

  - added the ability to traverse the graph generated by
    traces in order to decide if a term should be
    highlighted in red. See the traces/pred documentation
    for details.

  - fixed a bug in compatible-closure handling that could
    result in duplicate matches when there should only have
    been a single match.

  - Fixed a bug in the compatible closure function; otherwise the
    same as 1.1

("robby" "redex.plt" 1 2)

  - Obsolete'd version. It used to be a first attempt at the 2.0

  - fixed packaging error

("robby" "redex.plt" 1 0)

  - initial release to PLaneT
