Greetings,

The Apache Lucy team is pleased to announce the release of version 0.3.0
from the Apache Incubator!

Apache Lucy is full-text search engine library written in C and targeted at
dynamic languages. For a list of issues resolved in this version, please see
the full changelog below:

0.3.0 2012-01-15

New features:

* [LUCY-173] – Bundle Lemon parser generator
* [LUCY-189] – Bundle utf8proc
* [LUCY-191] – Unicode normalization
The new analyzer Lucy::Analysis::Normalizer provides Unicode
normalization, case folding and stripping of accents.
* [LUCY-196] – UAX #29 tokenizer
The new analyzer Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer tokenizes according
to the UAX #29 word break rules.
* [LUCY-203] – Implement EasyAnalyzer
EasyAnalyzer is simple analysis chain using the StandardTokenizer, the
Normalizer, and the SnowballStemmer.

Bugfixes:

* [LUCY-175] – Missing stdarg.h breaks build
* [LUCY-176] – More INCREF/DECREF symbol collisions under Windows
* [LUCY-178] – Discriminate between stdio and POSIX in large file support
probing.
* [LUCY-180] – ORQuery, ANDQuery, RequiredOptionalQuery optimizations
affect scoring
* [LUCY-181] – Perl Documentation fix – Remove links to classes within
docs, that are not exposed to Perl
* [LUCY-182] – highlighter bug when searching for duplicate terms [wordX
wordX]
* [LUCY-183] – Eliminate spurious “extra” query normalization
* [LUCY-185] – Improve error handling when required params not supplied
* [LUCY-186] – Terminate connection from SearchClient properly
* [LUCY-187] – Adapt to GC changes in Perl 5.15
* [LUCY-188] – Highlighter should accept weighted Queries (Compilers)
* [LUCY-193] – Occasional schema file name collision under ‘truncate’
* [LUCY-195] – Revisit pthreads linking on OpenBSD.
* [LUCY-206] – Work around broken export in Perl 5.15.6

Improvements:

* [LUCY-142] – Port Clownfish compiler to C

* [LUCY-179] – Tighten UTF-8 validity checks.
* [LUCY-197] – Clean whitespace for 0.3.0
* [LUCY-204] – Process ClusterSearcher RPCs in parallel
* [LUCY-205] – Parallel processing for SearchServer
This introduces an incompatible API change: The port argument has moved
from the constructor to the serve method and the password argument has
been removed.

Tasks:

* [LUCY-133] – Eliminate JSON::XS dependency
* [LUCY-134] – Eliminate Parse::RecDescent dependency
* [LUCY-137] – Dependency licensing in grant code

For general information on Apache Lucy, please visit the project website:

http://incubator.apache.org/lucy/Disclaimer:

Apache Lucy is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required
of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation
status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of
the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by
the ASF.

The Apache Commons PMC is pleased to announce the Apache Commons
Validator-1.4.0 release!

The Apache Commons Validator component provides the building blocks
for both client side validation and server side data validation.

Changes in this version include:

New features:
o New generic CodeValidator that validates format, length and Check
Digit for a code  Issue: VALIDATOR-215.
o New Regular Expression validator using JDK 1.4′s Regex  Issue: VALIDATOR-214.
o Factor out Check Digit logic into separate implementations  Issue:
VALIDATOR-213.

Fixed Bugs:
o CheckStyle and FindBug Issues – inner classes and key sets  Issue:
VALIDATOR-301. Thanks to Jacob Zwiers.
o Email validation fails with dash or hyphen at end of local address
Issue: VALIDATOR-293. Thanks to Will Glass-Husain.
o @localhost and @localhost.localdomain email addresses aren’t
correctly detected as valid  Issue: VALIDATOR-292.
o UrlValidator.isValid does not properly validate *.travel domains
Issue: VALIDATOR-289. Thanks to GM.
o isValid method for EmailValidator should return false for domain
with special characters only  Issue: VALIDATOR-286.
o formatDate(String value, Locale locale) in GenericTypeValidator uses
DateFormat.SHORT instead of DateFormat.DEFAULT  Issue: VALIDATOR-282.
o isValidURL call returns false for file scheme/protocol when URL is
correct  Issue: VALIDATOR-276.
o gmail testing addresses do not validate  Issue: VALIDATOR-271.
Thanks to Ralf Hauser.
o clirr Report – EmailValidator.isValidIpAddress() argument type
change  Issue: VALIDATOR-300. Thanks to Jacob Zwiers.
o Null-Stream input to ValidatorResources leads to
MalformedURLExceptions  Issue: VALIDATOR-226. Thanks to Lian Ort.
o EmailValidator fails with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on domain
names longer than 10 segments  Issue: VALIDATOR-220. Thanks to Adam
Gordon.
o UrlValidator fail when path contains “(” / “)”  Issue:
VALIDATOR-218. Thanks to Stephen Chu.

Issue: VALIDATOR-275. Thanks to Adam Gordon.

expression  Issue: VALIDATOR-252. Thanks to Makoto Uchino.

EAN-13 standard  Issue: VALIDATOR-188. Thanks to Gabriel Belingueres.
o JDK 1.4 – change minimum dependency for validator to be JDK 1.4 (was
1.3). Primary reason
      for this is to use JDK 1.4+ built in regular expression support
and remove the dependency
      on Jakarta ORO.

Have fun!
