Hi, I want to discuss the plans for the next UIMA Ruta release.
I am targeting end of August for the release, at latest mid-September. The current version introduces a dependency to uimaFIT and I hope that uimaFIT 2.0.0 will be available before the UIMA Ruta release. Richard, is that realistic? Since the release contains a lot of new language constructs, components and bug fixes, I like to change the release version to 2.1.0 instead of 2.0.2. A selection of new stuff: - less problems with open CAS Editor during Eclipse startup - compatible with uimaj 2.4.1 and Kepler - manual specification of start anchor for rule match - combinations of rule elements that specify no sequential constraint - rule elements with inlined rules (as "actions" or as "conditions") - dot notation for feature access, also applicable for matching condition - implicit actions and conditions - combinations with java projects inluding import of uimaFIT AEs (without descriptor) - new framework in Ruta Workbench for constraint-driven evaluation - new views in Ruta Workbench, e.g., annotation checker or html viewer - new helper analysis engines for CAS manipulation, e.g., CAS Cutter - two new rule learning algorithms for TextRuler framework A complete list of already resolved issues (for 2.0.2ruta) is here (56): https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20UIMA%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%222.0.2ruta%22%20AND%20component%20%3D%20ruta%20AND%20status%20in%20(Resolved%2C%20Closed) <https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20UIMA%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%222.0.2ruta%22%20AND%20component%20%3D%20ruta%20AND%20status%20in%20%28Resolved%2C%20Closed%29> Here's the list of open issues (27): https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20UIMA%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20component%20%3D%20ruta%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC I plan to resolve a few more issues, at least: - UIMA-3071 Break up sequential matching in Ruta rules (almost done) - UIMA-3115 fusion of block syntax and annotation specification syntax (almost done) - UIMA-2992 Adapt ruta engine plugin to new build mechanism - UIMA-2991 Adapt ruta update site to new mechanism - UIMA-2428 Ruta: Context-sensitive auto-completion not working correctly Should something else be included in the release? Any wishes? Best, Peter
