Version 5.0.0

• Fix a bug where the tokenizer would erroneously report an EOF instead of a lexical error. - #8
• Add CharStream.TryLoadFirstCharacter. With this method, you can check whether the input of a character stream has ended, and safely access CharStream.FirstCharacter.
• Bring back Grammar.StartSymbol, but implement it correctly this time.
• Write more tests and documentation.

Version 4.0.1

• Backport the fix of GitHub issue #8.

Version 5.0.0-rc.7

• Speed-up the tokenizer by using an array that handles ASCII characters.
• Remove Grammar.StartSymbol, as it was unreliable, and useless to Farkle.
• Remove the OutputDirectorySuffix metadata introduced in 5.0.0-rc.5. Generated source files by Farkle.Tools.MSBuild are always added in the same directory as the project.

Version 5.0.0-rc.6

• Fix a breaking error in Farkle.Tools.MSBuild.
• Reduce allocations in the parser.

Version 5.0.0-rc.5

• Fixed a bug which sometimes made Farkle.Tools.MSBuild unusable for C# users.
• Added a new MSBuild item metadata called OutputDirectorySuffix which is useful for generating templates in a different directory than the EGT file.
• Add a new benchmark which compares a Farkle-made JSON parser to Chiron, which is powered by FParsec. You can see the results of the benchmarks over here.

Version 5.0.0-rc.4

• Fixed a bug which made Farkle.Tools.MSBuild unusable.

Version 5.0.0-rc.3

• The CLI tool got a new property --namespace (shortened to -ns) which is simpler to use and replaces --property.
• Fixed errors in the generated F# code.

Version 5.0.0-rc.2

• The CLI tool generates post-processor skeletons by default.
• The CLI tool can automatically find the EGT file to process (if there is only one in the current directory), and the language (if there are C# or F# projects in the current directory).
• Fixed a bug where generated source files would sometimes have duplicate production names in their enumerated type. - #7

Version 5.0.0-rc.1

• Farkle now has better C# support. Just write using Farkle.CSharp;, and you are good to go!
• Farkle now has a CLI tool helper. It can generate a grammar definition file that contains the terminal and production types for your grammar, as well as the EGT file in base-64 encoding. It can also create a skeleton source file to help you write a post-processor. What is more, it supports both C# and F#!
• Farkle now has MSBuild integration. You can auto-generate a source file describing your grammar, and not have to carry EGT files around.
• As always, performance was improved, especially in the EGT file reader.
• Breaking change: In your post-processor, if you have functions like take2Of production (index1, index2) count func, remove the count parameter.
• Breaking change: The Token type was moved to Farkle.Parser and is not needed by the AST type.

Version 4.0.0

• Optimized the way Farkle handles the input stream characters by reducing copies & improving performance.
• Removed all 3rd-party non-Microsoft dependencies.
