Some of the noteworthy changes compared to Tiger 2014:

TC-0 renamed as PTHL: In an effort to emphasize the link between the THL (Formal Languages) lecture and the first stage of the Tiger project, the latter has been renamed as PTHL (“THL Project”).
TC-3 is no longer a rush: TC-3 has not been a successful step among many students for several years now. It has been deemed by many of them as too complex to be understood and implemented in a couple of days. Therefore we decided to extend the time allotted to this stage so as to give students more chance to pass TC-3.
Extension of the mandatory assignment to TC-5: By decision of the department of studies, all Ing1 are required to work on the Tiger project up to TC-5. Subsequent steps remain optional.
Use of more C++ 2011 features: This year, explicit template instantiation declarations (extern template clauses) are introduced in the project to control template instantiations in lieu of *.hcc files. The set of C++ features used in the Tiger compiler is still supported by both GCC 4.6 and Clang 3.0.
