2.32

2010/10/27

requires finlib >= 2.11

New Features:

• enhanced corpquery script which makes it possible to specify (via command-line options) reference attribute, context, limit for the number of results andstructures and attributes to be printed
• new parse2wmap tool for generating sketches (data for wmap) from a positional attribute
• ngrsave can now print document IDs of duplicate n-grams instead of n-grams and number of documents
• after the compilation, compilecorp checks for temporary files that indicate an error
• enhancements to the CQL:
  • new “==” and “!==” operators that perform a match against fixed string (i.e. not a regular expression)
    Note that with two exceptions of “”” and “
    ” no expansions are performed on the string.
    Examples:
    “.”, “$”, “~” matches a single dot, dollar sign and tilda, respectively,
    “n” matches a backslash followed by the character n,
    “”
    ” matches a double-quotes character followed by a single backslash
  • a meet/union query can occur at any position in the query and they are not introduced by the “MU” keyword, which is deprecated and raises an error
  • old within  syntax has been already deprecated (in favor of consistent within  and now raises an error as well
  • support for inequality matching using new operators: “<=”, “!<=”, “>=”, “!>=”. The comparison on a string is performed in a way that compares numeric parts numerically and alphabetical parts alphabetically. Examples:
    [word>="cake"] matches “cake” as well as “came”,
     matches e.g. 145UA01, 143UA01, 145TA00 etc.
  • meet/union queries can use numeric labels and be subject to global conditions as any other query parts — e.g. (meet 1:[] 2:[]) & 1.tag = 2.tag;
  • a frequency function (denoted simply as f) can be used as part of the query together with numeric labels — e.g. 1:[] & f(1.word) >= 1000;

Bugfixes:

• encodevert -v works again
• encodevert can again read piped input data (“| ” in VERTICAL in corpus configuration file)
• CQL queries using parallel corpora notation work again
• UTF-8 support in regular expressions
• encodevert doesn’t crash if no attributes are given in the configuration fail nor command-line
