I hope this timeline is agreeable by all parties.
There is something important missing: the grammars. Currently,
the svn://svn.sablecc.org/sablecc-grammars/trunk grammars are
targeted to the *unstable* 2.17.x series, which had a --tools
option. Unfortunately the code generated with the --tools option
and the grammars themselves do exhibit dependency on
Ant. It's not that I do not like Ant, but I think that
grammars and generated code should not exhibit any dependency
on additional tools, unless some specific (and optional option)
is explicitly exercised (e.g. --tools-for-ant).
I see the addition of --tools back into SableCC in the 3.2.x
stable branch (tested in 3.1.x), so it would be important to
clean up the current grammars (in the above svn URL) to actually
work with SableCC 3.0.x before we release it.
Also, adding to it a few examples of SableCC 3.0.x example
grammars with CST->AST transformations is important.
I would have liked regression tests too, but that can wait until
the 3.2.x or 3.4.x stable versions.
