Hi all, This is a quick note to inform you that TM4J version 0.9.8 has just been released. The primary focus in this release was to fix a number of bugs reported in the TMAPI implementation. Other changes are detailed in the release notes. TM4J 0.9.8 is fully backwards compatible with TM4J 0.9.7 and no database schema changes have been made with this release. All users of TM4J 0.9.7 are advised to upgrade to 0.9.8. Cheers, Kal |

Hi all, I've made a first candidate release of the 0.2 version of the TM4Web/Velocity package. This is a library, command line application that lets you either generate static HTML pages from a topic map, and a web application that lets you browse a topic map with pages created "on-the-fly". TM4Web/Velocity uses (as the name suggests) Jakarta Velocity as a templating language which makes it easy to create some quite sophisticated renditions. The web application also uses Jakarta Struts and provides some additional Velocity tools and Struts infrastructure which may be useful if you want to develop your own topic map browser web app. This candidate release is made to get a few more eyes on the packaging and to get feedback on any installation / compilation problems before making an "official" 0.2 release. Any bug reports / comments would be very welcome. Downloads are from the usual place! Cheers, Kal -- Kal Ahmed <ka...@te...> techquila |

Hi all, I'm pleased to announce the 0.9.5 release of TM4J. The most import changes in this release are the addition of two new packages and the deprecation of an old package. NEW: org.tm4j.tologx - this package is a complete rewrite of the tolog query engine to support tolog 1.0 and to provide a platform for making backend-specific optimized query engines (although no such optimized engine is included in this release). The old package org.tm4j.tolog is now deprecated - the migration to the new package should be relatively painless for most people. If you really want the old package, you will have to compile the JAR for yourself from the source distribution as it is no longer included in the binary distribution (just trying to keep the JAR count down!) NEW: org.tm4j.config - a few subprojects have had their own configuration file formats floating around for a while and this package attempts to provide a standard XML configuration file format for configuring a TopicMapManager (a TopicMapManager manages access to one or more TopicMapProviders, so you can have access to in-memory, ozone and hibernate backends all from a single application). DEPRECATED: org.tm4j.tolog (see the above for the reason why). There are also a whole bunch of bug fixes. As usual downloads can be had from the http://sourceforge.net/projects/tm4j and as usual comments and bug reports are most welcome. Cheers, Kal |

Hi all,
Another TMAPI release...another TM4J release :)
New in this release:
- TMAPI support updated to TMAPI 1.0 beta release
- Bug fixes to the TMAPI implementation. The implementation now passes
all of the TMAPI test suite. The TMAPI test suite is now included
in the source distribution and is invoked as part of the build
file target 'all-tests'
- The org.tm4j.tolog.Extension interface has been extended with an
initialise(TopicMap) method which is invoked when the extenstion
class is instantiated by the QueryEvaluator allowing for some
initialisation to be performed prior to any predicate evaluation.
Thanks to Stefan Henke for the suggestions.
- Fixed a bug in XTMWriter which caused topics with only a single
subject indicator or only a subject address to be skipped during
output. (Thanks to Stefan Lischke for the bug report)
- Added new configuration property "writeStubs" to the
TopicMapSerializer this exposes the functionality in XTMWriter to
optionally suppress topics that contain only a subject address
reference or a single subject indicator and no other properties.
Also added a -m option to the Merge command-line application to
minimize the number of topic elements in the output using this
feature.
As usual, source/binary packages can be downloaded from the TM4J project
page on SourceForge.
Cheers,
Kal

The TM4J project team is proud to announce the release of TM4J 0.9.0 This new version of TM4J includes numerous changes and new features including: - The Scope interface has been removed. Scope is now represented as a Set of Topic objects. - Updated 3rd party libraries. TM4J now uses Xerces 2.4.0, Antlr 2.7.2, Hibernate 2.0.1 - TM4J now uses XTM-defined PSIs (from core.xtm) for type-instance and subclass-superclass associations. The old org.tm4j.topicmap.PSI class is now deprecated in favour of org.tm4j.topicmap.XTMPSI. - Topic map providers can now be accessed through JNDI. - An abstract interface has been added to encapsulate sources of topic maps, enabling XTM/LTM files and other data sources for topic maps to be "read" in the same way. - Topic map provider creation has been simplified and can read default values from both the environment and from JAR resources. - URI parsing now done in a thread-safe manner. Thanks to Sascha Weinreuter for the patch. - Topic map parsing now makes use of catalogs for the resolution of DTD and mergeMap references. Thanks to Murray Altheim for donating this code. - Topic types are no longer automatically reflected as class-instance associations. - Logging of PropertyChangeEvents and MultiValuePropertyChangeEvents is now done to the log category "org.tm4j.topicmap.events" - Added the TM4J Administration Tool a GUI tool for managing persistent topic map stores. See the user documentation in docs/admintool.pdf or docs/admintool/index.html - Full-text indexing of topic maps is now supported. An extension of the Index interface supports querying full-text indexes of topic map data and an initial implementation based on Apache's Lucene is provided. Thanks to Harald Kuhn for donating the code. - URI parsing optimisations and other parser speed enhancements. The new release is now available for download from the TM4J project page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tm4j/ Happy topic mapping! The TM4J Project Team |

I have just uploaded TM4J 0.8.1 to SourceForge. This release fixes two
reported problems with TM4J 0.8.0:
TopicUtils.areEquivalent() method caused NPE when attempting to compare
topics with unscoped base names.
XTMWriter generates bad XML when a single Scope object is used to
define the scope of multiple ScopedObjects. From this release, the
id attribute of a <scope> element generated by XTMWriter will be
the value of the ID property of the Scope object followed by a period
('.') character and then the ID property of the ScopedObject which
is currently being exported.
In addition, this release adds ZIP packaging for Windows platforms.
Enjoy!
Kal
PS - as the files have literally *just* been uploaded, you may need to
allow a while for the mirrored download sites to pick them up.

The next milestone of TM4J is now available as a stable release. TM4J 0.8.0 adds a new persistent storage model for relational databases. = This=20 storage model uses the Hibernate O-R mapping tool and supports a wide ran= ge=20 of databases (see the Developer's Guide appendix on the Hibernate back-en= d=20 for details about which databases are supported). This back-end has been=20 tested against MySQL, Oracle9i and Oracle 8. If you find any problems wit= h=20 any other databases, please report them. This release also clears up some of the confusing APIs for object creatio= n and=20 TopicMap management. Users of previous versions of TM4J should read the=20 chapter "Changes since 0.7.0" for details about the changed methods. NOTE: Methods deprecated in this release will remain deprecated for the n= ext=20 minor increment (0.9.0) and will be removed in the following release (0.1= 0.0=20 or 1.0). I would like to thank everyone who reported bugs and contributed solution= s or=20 test code.=20 Please report any bugs you find with this new release either directly to = me or=20 by creating a bug report on the Tracker on SourceForge=20 (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3D27895&atid=3D391879) Cheers, Kal --=20 Kal Ahmed, techquila.com XML and Topic Map Consultancy e: ka...@te... p: +44 7968 529531 w: www.techquila.com |

Hi all, I have made a new development release of TM4J and put it on SourceForge a= s=20 TM4J 0.8.0a2. This release is primarily focussed on improving the=20 parse/object creation times in the Hibernate back-end. However, I have al= so=20 updated some of the documentation and started the implementation of a=20 framework for doing future performance testing. Unfortunately, the biggest performance win in the Hibernate back-end requ= ired=20 a slight modification to the mapping files and so the database schema use= d in=20 0.8.0a2 is different from that of 0.8.0a1 - this means that if you have d= ata=20 you wish to save in a Hibernate back-end created with 0.8.0a1, you should= =20 export the topic maps to XTM files before upgrading to 0.8.0a2. Please report any bugs using the bug tracker on the SourceForge page. Cheers, Kal --=20 Kal Ahmed, techquila.com XML and Topic Map Consultancy e: ka...@te... p: +44 7968 529531 w: www.techquila.com |
