Hi, folks,

A new beta release of flex, version 2.5.10 has been released.

It can be found in the directory:

ftp://ftp.uncg.edu/people/wlestes/

Give it a spin and send feedback on what you find. I'm hoping that
we're right around the corner from an official flex release.

As always, John Millaway has been invaluable in the production of this
release--it is what it is because of his efforts.

And here's what the NEWS file has to say about the new release:

* version 2.5.10 released 2002-7-24

** yy_globals renamed to yyscanner and yy_globals_t renamed to
   yy_guts_t

** added dist-bzip2 option to Makefile.am so we now produce a bzip2'd
   archive in addition to the standard gzip archive

*  version 2.5.9

** new tests in test suite: test-mem-{nr,r}, test-posix,
   test-posixly-correct, test-debug-{nr,r}

** made changes to work with gcc-3.2 development code. (Yes, we were
   doing things wrong)

** ability to choose which memory functions are used in flex

** new yylex_destroy() function for the non-reentrant scanner

** new handling of POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable

** the test suite now has its copyrights explicitly described

** new ca, de, fr, ru, sv, tr translations
