 <h2><a name="what.is.uima-addons">1. What is the UIMA-Addons package?</a></h2>

 <p>
     The Apache UIMA addons package is a collection of additional components for the base UIMA release.
     The add-on package contains annotator components developed for Apache UIMA. The
     add-on package fits the Apache UIMA directory structure and adds a directory
     called "addons lib" that contains the following annotator components:
 <ul>
     <li>DictionaryAnnotator</li>
     <li>RegularExpressionAnnotator</li>
     <li>Tagger</li>
     <li>WhitespaceTokenizer</li>
     <li>Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) BSFAnnotator</li>
     <li>ConceptMapper</li>
     <li>ConfigurableFeatureExtractor</li>
     <li>Lucas</li>
     <li>OpenCalaisAnnotator</li>
     <li>SnowballAnnotator</li>
     <li>TikaAnnotator</li>
     <li>AlchemyAPIAnnotator</li>
     <li>Solrcas</li>
 </ul>

 Additionally the package contains some components to package annotators
 and for accessing annotators as simple REST service. These are:
 <ul>
     <li>PearPackagingAntTask</li>
     <li>SimpleServer</li>
 </ul>

 There is an addon to the base UIMA:
 <ul>
     <li>FsVariables</li>
 </ul>

 <p>Each component has a separate LICENSE and NOTICE files; some also
 have Readme and other documentation (in docs/). Documentation
 is also available on the UIMA website, in the Sandbox area.
 </p>

 <h2><a name="major.changes">2. Major Changes in this Release</a></h2>

 <p>
     The following components were added in this release:
 <ul>
     <li>AlchemyAPI Annotator - is an annotator wrapping alchemyapi.com services providing named entity extraction,
         keyword/concept tagging, etc.
     </li>
     <li>Solrcas - is a CAS Consumer component that can store CAS objects into an Apache Solr instance</li>
 </ul>

 The following are the main changes to existing components:
 <ul>
     <li>TikaAnnotator - now using Apache Tika 0.7 instead of 0.4, language extracted by Tika goes inside CAS
         documentLanguage
     </li>
     <li>Lucas - now using Apache Lucene 2.9.3</li>
     <li>Tagger - added an AnalysisEngine to train HMM Tagger models</li>
     <li>OpenCalaisAnnotator - fixed negative begin/end values bug</li>
     <li>Generally fixed URI/space handling</li>
 </ul>
