+uimaFIT 3.1.0 is a minor feature and bugfix release. It serve mostly as a drop-in replacement
+for previous uimaFIT 3.x versions. However, due to a clash in method signatures, you may notice

+to the migration section in the documentation.

+
+ * 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
