ANNOUNCE: RelEx version 1.4.0
Linas Vepstas
When link-grammar Version 4.7.0 came out, it offered a new, faster way
of dealing with conjunctions, side-stepping many problems associated
with "fat links". However, earlier versions of RelEx depended on fat
links to handle conjunctions properly. This is the first RelEx release
that correctly supports conjunction processing with the new
link-grammar 4.7.x series.
ChangeLog:
New in version 1.4.0 (21 February 2011)
* Fix conjunctions to work with current versions of link-grammar.
* Fix anaphora printing for entities.
* Fix build to look for OpenNLP-1.4 if OpenNLP-1.5 not found.

What is RelEx?
RelEx, a narrow-AI component of OpenCog, is an English-language
semantic dependency relationship extractor, built on the
Carnegie-Mellon Link Grammar parser. It uses a series of graph
rewriting rules to identify subject, object, indirect object and many
other syntactic dependency relationships between words in a sentence.
That is, it generates the dependency trees of a dependency grammar.
Its set of dependency relations it employs resemble those of Dekang
Lin's MiniPar and the Stanford parser (and it has an explicit
compatibility mode).
