The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache UIMA Java
SDK, version 2.4.1.

Apache UIMA is a component architecture and framework for the analysis of
unstructured content like text, video and audio data.

This release only includes the UIMA Java SDK, and does not yet have the other
components (UIMA-AS, UIMA-CPP, and the AddOns). It is backward compatible with
the previous release, except for some classes and interfaces which have
additional methods supporting new capabilities and features.

This release includes:

  * Documentation of binary serialization.
  *  New kinds of compressed binary serialization that compress the data
significantly and one form that supports unequal source/target type systems
  * A new facility called External Parameter Overrides for specifying parameter
settings for annotators that uses properties files and is independent of the
annotator hierarchy
  * CasCopier enhancements to allow copying one view to a different view.
 *  Additional options to restrict JCasGen operation to generating just those
types that are defined in a project, excluding other types that are imported
from other projects
 *  A new Maven plugin that runs JCasGen (see tools documentation for how to
configure and use this)
 *  A new ability to preserve white space (indentation) when parsing XML
descriptors; this is now used in the Component Descriptor Editor (CDE), to
preserve indentation when editing an existing descriptor.
 *  Performance and space improvements, including some bulk methods for
efficiently removing Feature Structures from Indexes
