1.0 Wed Aug 16 14:35:44 2000
- Rewritten for the new Link Grammar 4.0 API
- Got LinkParser.xs to work with the char** functions, so
linkage_get_words and get_domain_names now work.
- Makefile.PL changes LinkParser.pm to find data directory
- new() expects a hash defined the the pod documentation, and uses the
the global $DATA_DIR to as a default path
- Added Lingua::LinkParser::Definitions to enable easy retrieval of
link summaries and definitions from within the program. This is a
totally non-orthoganal method of distributing this info, but I find
it handy.
- Added linkage_get_word to ::Linkage, thanks Richard A. Wells.
- Added linkage_get_words, also thanks to Richard.
- Added access to the domain functions with num_domains and domain_names
to the Lingua::LinkParser::Sublinkage class.
- Added function 'violation_name' to Lingua::LinkParser::Linkage class to
return the label for a post-processing linkage violation.
- Added the new 'print_constituent_tree()' from the 4.0 API to display
constituent tree structures.
- Added tests to 'test.pl' for 'get_words()', 'num_domains()', and
'domain_names()'
- Added scripts to demonstrate use of 'bigstruct()' and 'define()'
- Added script to demonstrate 'print_constituent_tree()'
- Included the link guide in directory 'guide', since it's not in the
distribution.
- Overloaded the stringify operators ("") for classes ::Sentence,
::Linkage, and ::Sublinkage to display a diagram for each.
- Changed 'get_postscript' to use new 'mode' parameter
- Added the link functions that had previously only been available to
sublinkage objects to linkage objects.
1.01 Wed Sep 2 12:35:01 2000
- Built and tested using Link Grammar 4.1
- Fixed bug that redefined 'get_word' and 'num_word' functions in
Linkage.pm.
- Moved Dictionary 'type' to its own namespace,
Lingua::LinkParser::Dictionary.
- Removed DESTROY methods from ::Sublinkage and ::Linkage; the API
4.0 was crapping a log when invoked.
- Added a class 'Lingua::LinkParser::Linkage::Word' to allow word
object creation and quick access to information for that word.
- Lots to fixes to ::Sublinkage to get index numbers right
- Lots of examples added to 'scripts/', including a grammar regex
- Added alternate methods for overloading ::Linkage and
::Sublinkage, "new_as_string()", to experiment with grammar regex
- Changed overloaded behaviour for ("") constants for ::Sentence to
print out the original sentence text.
1.02 Tue Sep 5 23:42:58 2000
- Added XSUBs for 'max_sentence_length' opts.
- Fixed Makefile.PL to find data file paths (link parser 4.1 still has
dictionary files named "4.0")
- Changed '::Linkage::opts()' to take a hash of keys/values, or returns
a value of only one argument is passed.
- Modified the script 'scripts/parse.pl' to parse null linkages
automatically, and demonstrate more elements of the parser options.
- Changed the default behaviour of the overloaded ("") for ::Linkage and
::Sublinkage to use 'new_as_string'.
1.03 Mon Nov 6 11:46:28 2000
Thanks to Ronald J Kimball for recommending the following changes:
- Made changes to Linkage.pm and Sublinkage.pm to avoid uninitialized
value warnings.
- Fixed grammarregex.pl to use a negated look-ahead assertion.
1.04 Mon Nov 27 16:23:11 2000
- Fixed some perldoc documentation errors.
- Removed 'our' statements for compatability with versions < 5.6.
1.05 Thu Feb 7 12:02:44 2001
- Fixed the hardcoded path entries in LinkParser.pm .. sorry folks.
- Started varifying arguments for constructurs in Lingua::LinkParser,
Lingua::LinkParser::Sentence and and Lingua::LinkParser::Linkage.
1.06
- Added Lingua::LinkParser::Simple to facilitate very easy processing; this
will collect methods like 'extract_subject' that require no link knowledge
- Fixed several POD bugs related to $sentence->linkages.
1.07
- Added documentation to make num_linkages() more clear.
- Fixed OS X Jaguar build problems
1.08 (pending 1.1)
- Fixed memory leaks with rewritten calls to all _delete functions
1.09 Aug 11 2004
- Fixed misc. bugs
- Applied patches by Benji Adams to:
- fix indexes for words occuring more than once (Word.pm)
- fix uninitialized errors for indexes (Link.pm)
1.10 Feb 28 2009
- Fixed build to work with 4.2.2 (AbiSource), not compatible with previous versions
- Build no longer extracts object files or prompts for package directory (see README)
- Constructor only takes a lang arg (optional), no dictionary paths anymore
- Reorganized module directory structure.
1.11 Mar 3 2009
1.12 Mar 10 2009
- strict-ified scripts/
- Removed link definitions from Lingua::LinkParser::Definitions
1.13 Mar 20 2009
- changed XS return type for sentence_get_word
- added $linkage->constituent_tree() to get a constituent tree in a Perl data structure
- added scripts/constituent-tree.pl to demonstrate how to process constituent trees
- added some comments to the scripts/*
1.14 April 15 2009
- fixed tests to be compatible with link parser 4.5.3.
1.15 April 16 2010
- minor test fixes for link parser 4.6.x.
1.16 May 17 2011
- minor docs updates, tested with the link parser through 4.7.x.
