Subject:  ANNOUNCE: sgrep-1.71a - search and index SGML, XML and HTML files

This announcement has been posted to comp.text.sgml and comp.text.xml as well. I'm also forwarding this to xml-dev, since sgrep is nowadays XML-aware tool and still in development. I'd very much like to hear comments about sgrep's new XML-query and indexing features.

Announcement follows:

I have made available binary versions of sgrep-1.71a for both Win32 and i386-Linux.

Sgrep is a tool to search and index text, SGML, XML and HTML files using structured patterns.

Sgrep-1.71a should be considered as a prerelease of Sgrep-2, which is still under development. This means that:

New features might be included before final release.
Existing features might be changed.
It is guaranteed to have bugs.
Sources are not yet available.
All suggestions are welcome.

NEW FEATURES

Major new features since sgrep-1.0 which are already present:

Indexing of both structure and content.
SGML/XML/HTML scanner.
Official W32 binary.
sgtool has been dumped. It never really worked and even when it did, it wasn't very useful.
Should be completely compatible with older versions of sgrep.

Features which will be present in sgrep-2.0:

Proper documentation
Support for querying notations, element type declarations and attribute list declarations inside SGML/XML document prolog
Parsing of all well-formed XML-documents.

Features which might be present in sgrep-2.0:

Regular expressions.
Nearness operators.
Unicode support.
