  • Support for Emdros 1.1-series discontinued

    As of 2008-01-27, when version 3.0.0 of Emdros was released, I have discontinued support for version 1.1.X of Emdros.

    Accordingly, the following packages have been hidden in the SourceForge.Net file release system:

    - Emdros-1.1
    - Emdros-docs
    - win32-buildtools

    The emdros-docs packages were hidden because they were exclusively associated with the 1.1-series.

    The Win32-buildtools packages were hidden because they were not necessary for building the latest 1.2.0.preXX-series or 3.0-series, but were only useful for building the 1.1-series.


    The author hopes that version 3.0.0 will be well received, and hopes that users of the 1.1 series will migrate to version 3.0.0 and beyond.

  • Emdros version 3.0.0 released

    Hello,

    I have released Emdros version 3.0.0. This is a major milestone in the development of Emdros, and is the first major, non-preview release in about four (4!) years.

    The goodies can be had via this page:

    http://emdros.org/downloads.html


    The last public release was 1.2.0.pre262, released in July 2007.

    The reason for bumping the major version number to 3 rather than, say, 2 -- is that so much has happened to the code since version 1.2.0.pre01 was branched off of version 1.1, that it really is more like version 3.0 than version 2.0.


    Version 3.0.0 brings the following improvements over 1.2.0.pre262:

    - Various speed improvements have been gained.

    - A serious bug was fixed in mqldump that would cause some objects not
    to be dumped under certain circumstances. For full details, please
    see the ChangeLog for 1.2.0.pre268.

    - SQLite 3 was upgraded to version 3.4.2.

    - The CREATE DATABASE statements can now optionally take an encoding
    to use for the database. This is useful on MySQL and PostgreSQL,
    where it sets the encoding when creating the database in the
    backend. See the documentation for CREATE DATABASE in MQL
    Programmer's Reference Guide for more details.

    - Lots of improvements to the Layout code that is used for display in
    applications that depend on the Emdros libraries, including the
    Emdros Query Tool and the Emdros Chunking Tool.

    - The Java bindings were improved, by adding "throw" clauses to a lot
    of methods. This causes a Java exception to be thrown, rather than
    the JVM terminating, if an exception is thrown.

    - GET FEATURES now no longer throws an exception if none of the ID_Ds
    given to the statement exist in the object type given. Instead, an
    empty table is returned.

    - Improved support for compiling on Windows 2000 with Visual Studio
    Express 2005.


    Enjoy!

  • Emdros demo website online

    Hello,

    I have placed a demo website for Emdros online:

    http://demo.emergence.dk

    Currently, it only has one demo -- the Penn Treebank sampler from the NLTK:

    http://nltk.sourceforge.net

    That is, about 1 million tokens from the Penn Treebank are searcheable with Emdros, and YOU get to construct queries, too!

    350 lines of Python is what it takes.

    Check it out....
