Changes for version 1.0 - 2000-08-16
- Rewritten for the new Link Grammar 4.0 API
- Got LinkParser.xs to work with the char** functions, so linkage_get_words and get_domain_names now work.
- Makefile.PL changes LinkParser.pm to find data directory
- new() expects a hash defined the the pod documentation, and uses the the global $DATA_DIR to as a default path
- Added Lingua::LinkParser::Definitions to enable easy retrieval of link summaries and definitions from within the program. This is a totally non-orthoganal method of distributing this info, but I find it handy.
- Added linkage_get_word to ::Linkage, thanks Richard A. Wells.
- Added linkage_get_words, also thanks to Richard.
- Added access to the domain functions with num_domains and domain_names to the Lingua::LinkParser::Sublinkage class.
- Added function 'violation_name' to Lingua::LinkParser::Linkage class to return the label for a post-processing linkage violation.
- Added the new 'print_constituent_tree()' from the 4.0 API to display constituent tree structures.
- Added tests to 'test.pl' for 'get_words()', 'num_domains()', and 'domain_names()'
- Added scripts to demonstrate use of 'bigstruct()' and 'define()'
- Added script to demonstrate 'print_constituent_tree()'
- Included the link guide in directory 'guide', since it's not in the distribution.
- Overloaded the stringify operators ("") for classes ::Sentence, ::Linkage, and ::Sublinkage to display a diagram for each.
- Changed 'get_postscript' to use new 'mode' parameter
- Added the link functions that had previously only been available to sublinkage objects to linkage objects.
