There are many improvements, some bug fixes, and tooling enhancements in
this release. The major changes include:
- * A new maven plugin that runs JCasGen (see tools documentation for how to
configure and use this)
- * Binary serialization has been documented.
+ * Documentation of binary serialization.
* New kinds of compressed binary serialization that compress the data
significantly
and one form that supports unequal source/target type systems
- * Some "bulk" methods for removing Feature Structures from Indexes
- * A new facility for specifying parameter settings for collections of
annotators, that uses properties files
- * The DocumentAnalyzer utility was enhanced with a patch from the
community to support reading CASes in various formats
+
+ * A new facility called External Parameter Overrides for specifying
parameter settings for annotators
+ that uses properties files and is independent of the annotator hierarchy
+
+ * CasCopier enhancements to allow copying one view to a different view.
+
+ * Additional options to restrict JCasGen operation to generating just
those types that are defined in a project,
+ excluding other types that are imported from other projects
+ * A new Maven plugin that runs JCasGen (see tools documentation for how to
configure and use this)
+
+ * a new ability to preserve white space (indentation) when parsing XML
descriptors; this is now used in the
+ Component Descriptor Editor (CDE), to preserve indentation when editing
an existing descriptor.
+
+ * Performance and space improvements
+ * Some "bulk" methods for efficiently removing Feature Structures from
Indexes
+
+ * The CDE supports 3 new things: the preserving of existing white-space in
XML descriptors,
+ External Parameter Overrides, and a configuration option to restrict
JCasGen to just those
+ types defined in the project.
+ * Enhancements to the DocumentAnalyzer utility to support reading CASes in
various formats
+ Some User-facing Interfaces and Classes have new methods:
+ * FsIndexRepository - new methods for bulk removal of all instances of a
type from the indexes
+ * JCas - same methods added for bulk removal, as above
+ * Serialization - Javadocs added to document the kinds of serialization
and deserialization supported (binary and compressed binary forms)
+ - Methods added to support Binary Compressed serialization
/ deserialization
+ * CasCopier - new copyCasView methods for copying to a different view
+
+ Some interfaces and classes, less likely to be used by users, were changed:
+ * ConfigurationManager's createContext method has additional parameter for
the new external parameter override mechanism
+ * ConfigurationParameter - has new support for external parameter override
names
