flex beta version 2.5.22 is released and can be found at:

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

There are a few more things fixed in this release:

* version 2.5.22 released 2002-10-10

** more portability fixes around how we get ahold of the integral
   types; there is a constant FLEX_NEED_INTEGRAL_TYPE_DEFINITIONS
   which you should define if you don't have the <inttypes.h> header
   file (after you complain to your C vendor for not providing a
   reasonable C environment)

** more test suite cleanups; in particular, the test suite should run
   correctly when build from a different directory

** upgraded automake to 1.7 and consequently autoconf to 2.54; this
   means, among other things, that there is some support for
formatting the manual in postscript and pdf in the distributed
   Makefile.in (and therefore in the Makefile built by configure)

** the flex.1 manpage is generated by help2man; (this has been true
   for quite a while but was not listed here)

** flex now includes three defined constants to indicate which version
  of flex generated a scanner (YY_FLEX_{MAJOR,MINOR,SUBMINOR}_VERSION)

** flex tries its best to output only the relevant portions of the
   skeleton when generating a scanner, thus avoiding as much
   conditional compilation as possible

As always, feedback is appreciated.
