There isn't anything for the changes in the UI. Here's a quick overview
though: The previous Scanner and Parser tabs are now integrated into a
single Definition tab. You specify both the scanner and parser rules in
the single text box. Most of the options on the Compile tab have been
moved to menu options. The Messages text on the Compile tab has been
moved to a Messages tab. The new Symbols and Item Sets tabs hold the
text for the symbols and items that are generated from the grammar.
Previously, you could have these compiled into comments in special
methods if you selected the Generate symbol/item set comments. Finally,
the buttons on the test tab have been moved to options on the pop up menu.
BTW, if you have access to Dolphin, I would recommend editing the
grammar using the Dolphin version of SmaCC. It has tab completion,
syntax highlighting, and folding. Once you've edited your grammar in
Dolphin, you can compile it in VW.
