Subject:  New release of LT XML tools and API (C) now available

The HCRC Language Technology Group are pleased to announce the availability of v1.0 of LT XML. This release contains significant improvements in conformance, performance and functionality compared to the previous (0.9.5) version.

LT XML is both a set of command-line/console XML applications and a C language library supporting a powerful API for new application development. It is available free for evaluation and non-commercial use. For an overview and information about licences, including licences for commercial use, see:

http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/xml/.

The v1.0 release comes in two versions:

A source version for UN*X platforms, with straight-forward compilation and installation procedures;
A source plus DLLs and executables version for WIN32 platforms.

Both versions include extensive documentation of the tools and the API, together with detailed examples of how to build your own application using the API.

The functionality of the tools in this release includes:

Text extraction
Powerful markup-aware 'grep' (search)
Down-translation
Tokenisation
Sorting
Transclusion using a subset of XML-link

The API allows applications to choose, or even switch, between an event-oriented and a tree-oriented view of XML documents.

Significant features of this release compared to previous releases:

A conforming XML processor per the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation of 10-February-1998
Support for a wide range of encodings, including UTF-8, ISO-646, ISO-8859-n, UTF-16 and UCS-2
50% faster
Expanded documentation in both HTML and MS Word formats
