The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the release of 

Apache uimaFIT, version 3.1.0

You can download it from here:

http://uima.apache.org/downloads.cgi

Apache uimaFIT is a library that facilitates the building of
Apache UIMA components, the programmatic use of Apache UIMA
analysis pipelines, and their testing.

uimaFIT employs Java annotations to integrate UIMA meta data
directly into the source code, allowing for less lines of code
and better refactorability then traditional, XML descriptor-based
UIMA projects. It is capable of automatically detecting meta data,
e.g. type system information, from the classpath. Convenience
methods are provided for constructing components, pipelines,
and for accessing annotations.

uimaFIT 3.1.0 is a minor feature and bugfix release. On supported platforms, it serves mostly as 
a drop-in replacement for previous uimaFIT 3.x versions. However, due to a clash in method
signatures, you may notice incompatible changes in the methods provided ExternalResourceFactory.
For details, please refer to the migration section in the documentation.

Notable changes in this release include:

 * Added support for PEARs in AnalysisEngineFactory
 * Added ExternalResourceFactory.createResource(...) methods for instantiating resources
 * Added support for Charset-typed parameters in components
 * Added ability to set number of threads in CpePipeline.runPipeline(...)
 * Fixed issue with non-XML 1.0 characters in parameter values when running CPEs
 * Fixed JCasIterable.iterator() destroying the ResourceManager before it is even used
 * Fixed issue causing component parameters to be used when initializing resources
 * Fixed CollectionReaderFactory.createReaderDescription(...) not discovering type prios and indexes
 * Fixed clashing method signatures of ExternalResourceFactory.bindResource(...)
 * Upgraded to UIMA 3.1.1
 * Upgraded to Spring 4.3.26
