The Apache UIMA Team is pleased to announce the 2.6.0 release of the UIMA Java SDK version 2.6.0.
Apache UIMA <http://uima.apache.org> is a component architecture and framework for the analysis of unstructured content like text, video and audio data. This release of the UIMA Java SDK supports large memory/ large multi-core machines, with various improvements to synchronization, lock contention, and locality of reference to optimize memory bandwidth in the presence of non-uniform memory access speeds. In addition, embedders of the framework can now choose to run initialization of UIMA components that share a common Resource Manager and/or common UIMA Context, on multiple threads, concurrently. CASes which are not being modified can be accessed (read-only) by multiple threads, simultaneously. As usual, this release also includes some bugs fixes. This release only includes the UIMA Java SDK, and is backward compatible with the previous release, except it now requires Java version 1.6 or later. -- Marshall Schor, for the Apache UIMA development team
