I include the release notes here for your reference. As always, you can find it at: http://fly.hiwaay.net/~darren/ctags.html (Official web site) ftp://ftp.hmi.com/pub/ctags/ctags-1.7.tar.gz 97-Oct-13 1.7: Changes since version 1.6: ------------------------------------------ Added support for extension flags and documentation pseudo-tags in tag file (see man page). Added support for new long options: --excmd, --format, --if0, --sort, --totals, and --version. Revamped preprocessor conditional handling algorithm to correct a couple of deficiencies. You might find that it now rejects a few tags which had been included previously (e.g within a conditional within a function block). Code within an #if 0 is never scanned for non-macro tags (since tags within that code could conceivably be overridden by more desirable tags in the #else branch to follow; macro tags are always included). If you do not like this default behavior, use the --if0=yes option. I agree that the default setting is arguable. If people really prefer, I can change the default. Corrected problem which could leave invalid tag entries in tag file when an internal re-scan of a source file occurred. Corrected problem with internal sort mechanism when appending tags to existing file. Filter out duplicate identical tags lines (including pattern) in external sorting unless warnings for duplicate tags are enabled. Added data to emacs style tag entries to more closely match that produced by the GNU etags. Removed fixed limits on maximum tag line length. Correction to Amiga makefile. Improvements to Win32 portability with changes to Makefile.w32. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darren Hiebert http://fly.hiwaay.net/~darren
