With version 2.0.0 comes a new name for the system. Due to the similarity between the name scrappy and the name of the immensely popular scraping library, scrapy, the name of the programming language was changed to "FairyScript" so that publishing to PyPI can be done with less ambiguity.

  • Argument Parsing
    • Rewrote entire argument parsing system to be in terms of subcommands instead of required options.
    • Renamed all argument names to be simpler, as they are now based on the subcommand.
    • Made input files into a top-level argument instead of a repeatable option.
  • Logging/Output System
    • Added new logging framework that all compiler messages must pass through.
    • All compiler messages are now sent to stderr.
    • Tweaked -q option to modify logging framework to show minimal output on stderr.
    • Added new option --logfile for logging all compiler messages regardless of verboseness level.
  • Documentation Updates
    • Compiler documentation now gives complete description of compiler use.
    • Added information to language documentation on how to use GFX bindings with Ren'Py.
    • Updated all references in the documentation from scrappy to FairyScript.
  • Additional Fixes/Enhancements
    • Rewrote test framework to be more robust and modular.
    • Added new --order option for ordering lists in static analysis output.
    • Fixed exception handling to catch all errors and log them.
    • Fixed lexer token output to be readable as .lex input.
    • Fixed a bug that caused the analysis module to overwrite data when character files were included.
