The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the release of 

 Apache uimaFIT, version 2.5.0

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.

Notable changes in this release are:

* Added support for PEARs in AnalysisEngineFactory;
* Added support for destroying auto-created resource managers if feasible;
* Added CasFactory;
* Added CasUtil.exists(...) method;
* Added support for Charset-typed parameters in components;
* Added ExternalResourceFactory.createResource(...) methods for instantiating resources;
* Added ability to set number of threads in CpePipeline.runPipeline(...);
* Fixed FSUtil.getFeature(...) failing when called with Object.class on multi-valued features;
* 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 CollectionReaderFactory.createReaderDescription(...) not discovering type prios and indexes;
* Fixed issue causing component parameters to be used when initializing resources;
* Upgraded to UIMA 2.10.4;
* Upgraded to Spring 4.3.26.
