Hi, uimaj-3.1.0 rc2 is posted and ready for voting.
This is the rc2 for 3.0.2 rc1, and incorporates the idea of boosting the release number to 3.1.0 to signal that the exception thrown from cas.getView() changed from a runtime exception to a checked exception (unfortunately, likely requiring a new "throws" clause in methods using getView, if one wasn't already there). This change was due to Jira issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5869; the javadoc said it threw a checked exception, but the impl needed changing to do this. The other changes from rc1: The implementation of Subiterator was refactored and corrected in several edge cases. Just to give an idea: one of the edge cases involved a coveredBy iteration, without type-priority, where the flag to skip over the same begin/end/type annotations if found. This had incorrectly assumed these were at the beginning of the iteration, but in this case, you could have multiple items, then skip over maybe multiple items which are equal (same begin/end/type) to the bounding annotation, followed by more items. With the subiterator fixed (there were some edge case bugs), I have run a large system using v2 and v3, and compared the results, and found them to be the same. The CasCompare routine, used in debugging differences between v2 and v3 output, was improved to fix a bug in handling sorting of some collections, and to only display root-causes of differences. The issues fixed are here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/UIMA/versions/12344592 The source and binary tars/zips are here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/uima/uv3/uimaj/3.1.0-rc2/artifacts/ The eclipse update subsite is here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/uima/uv3/uimaj/3.1.0-rc2/eclipse-update-site-v3/ The maven staging repo is here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheuima-1223/ The SVN tag: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/uv3/uimaj-v3/tags/uimaj-3.1.0/ Please vote on release: [ ] +1 OK to release [ ] 0 Don't care [ ] -1 Not OK to release, because ... Thanks. -Marshall
