| <h2><a name="what.is.uima-ruta">1. What is UIMA Ruta?</a></h2> | |
| <p> | |
| Apache UIMA Ruta™ is a rule-based script language supported by Eclipse-based tooling. | |
| The language is designed to enable rapid development of text processing applications within Apache UIMA™. | |
| A special focus lies on the intuitive and flexible domain specific language for defining | |
| patterns of annotations. The Eclipse-based tooling for Ruta, called the Ruta Workbench, | |
| was created to support the user and to facilitate every step when writing Ruta rules. Both the | |
| Ruta rule language and the Ruta Workbench integrate smoothly with Apache UIMA. | |
| </p> | |
| <h2><a name="major.changes">2. Major Changes in this Release</a></h2> | |
| <p> | |
| <p>UIMA Ruta Language and Analysis Engine:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Typesystem descriptors with JCasGen classes are located in separate artifact</li> | |
| <li>Minimal support of feature structures in feature match expressions</li> | |
| <li>Many bug fixes and improvements, especially for label expressions</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p>UIMA Ruta Workbench:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Direct debugging of launched scripts in Java is supported</li> | |
| <li>Improved error messages in launcher</li> | |
| <li>Removed restriction of classpath size causing problems in launcher</li> | |
| <li>Deactivated noVM preference</li> | |
| <li>Launcher uses project encoding</li> | |
| <li>Bug fixes</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p> | |
| Although this is a bugfix release, semantic versioning indicates that this release is not | |
| backward compatible due to some modified public interfaces. These changes are either required for bugfixes or | |
| for compatibility towards UIMA version 3 and should not cause any problems when migrating. | |
| </p> | |
