GATE 3.0 (build 1717, Beta 1), August 6th 2004
This release is dedicated to the memory of Jeremy Black (main instigator of the ETCSL projects).
This is the latest release (is it not production quality). The user guide. The developer documentation. The download page.
See chapter 2 (Change Log) of the User Guide for full details of what has changed.
Highlights
New features include:
- completely rewritten document viewer/editor
- extensive ontology support
- a new plugin management system
- separate .jar files and a Tomcat classloading fix
- lots more CREOLE components (and some more to come soon)
Compatibility
For version 3 we decided that it was worthwhile making a few incompatible changes in order to clean up a few things that have caused trouble in previous versions. For example: some recent classes have been renamed (particularly the ontologies support classes) and a few events added (see below); datastores created by version 3 will probably not read properly in version 2. If you have problems use the mailing list and we'll help you fix your code!
