Please stop with this releases!!!

3.04 was not released! We are skipping 3.03 release because some people decided to spread 3.03 on internet and there was need to change API. AFAIK more API changes for 3.04 should come!

You are not helping this project defintely.

Zdenko,

Sorry it was not meant to be a 'release' of 3.04, I just wanted to get the latest code compiled under msys2 and asked the developers for help and suggested a package of tesseract and leptonica under msys2. I presume, it is ok to label it as 3.03 with the Revision: 298e31465a44.

However, as I had asked you in an earlier post, your last commit of configure.ac does show tesseract version as 3.04

# Initialization

# ----------------------------------------

AC_PREREQ(2.50)

AC_INIT([tesseract], [3.04], [http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/issues/list]) >>

FYI, training tools did compile under msys2 on windows8.

Thanks,

Shree

Anybody who is packaging tesseract and publicaly sharing 3.03 (excluding -rc1) and 3.04 is lying. There are no such releases. 

Repository is intended for developers and testers not for packagers! And it is absolutely normal that there are changes of version withing repository. There are for developers and testers.

If packagers are not able to respect project (there are reasong why there is no new release) that we should we should remove public tesseract repository.

Zdenko

[Shree Devi Kumar]

What is the git clone command to get tesseract 3.03 rc1 ?

[zdenko podobny]

there is no git command for it (well maybe we could track down the revision number and tag it, but...)

If somebody want to use -rc1, he/she should use googledrive package.

Isn't tagging releases good software engineering practice regardless of all this other discussion?

Looks to me like the appropriate rev is:

https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/source/detail?r=449fc8af29835d3f186fdeb9c5c32d95ed43df7f

Note that there have been almost 100 commits since that source drop was made in February, so it's quite out of date.

I think a lot of this is caused by the project home page claiming that Tesseract 3.03 is shipped with Ubuntu 2014.04. This sounds like it is a final release. I'd change or remove that statement.

Roadmap

Version 3.03 release candidate is now available (source only so far) for download and contains many new features. (See the ReleaseNotes for a full list.) Please check out the ReadMe before going to Downloads as you need more than one file. Even the windows executables tarball is incomplete as language files are required. Most notable new features:

• PDF output.
• New Renderer for extracting detailed recognition information at a document level.

Version 3.03 ships with recent Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 14.04.

Version 3.02 ships with Ubuntu 12.04

http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ChangeLog

2014-02-04 v3.03
* Added new training tool text2image to generate box/tif file pairs from
  text and truetype fonts.
* Added support for PDF output with searchable text.
* Removed entire IMAGE class and all code in image directory.
* Tesseract executable: support for output to stdout; limited support for one 
  page images from stdin  (especially on Windows)
* Added Renderer to API to allow document-level processing and output
  of document formats, like hOCR, PDF.
* Major refactor of word-level recognition, beam search, eliminating dead code.
* Refactored classifier to make it easier to add new ones.
* Generalized feature extractor to allow feature extraction from greyscale.
* Improved sub/superscript treatment.
* Improved baseline fit.
* Added set_unicharset_properties to training tools.
* Many bug fixes.
* More training source data included.

Thanks for tagging the releases zdenko.

Now, it will be possible to automatically mark teh revisions so that the code compiled from git does not report being '3.04'

I posted the following as response to issue 1317

By using [m4_esyscmd_s([git describe --tags --long --always])] 
in configure.ac 
you can get a version number of the format 
"3.03-rc1-106-g9e8629d"

where 
3.03-rc1 is the tag for the last tagged commit
106 is the number of commits since then till the current revision
9e8629d  is the abbreviated hash tag of the current revision

I tagged master branch in repository (AFAIK initial code commit was 1.03). You can try:

    git tag -n1

or on tesseract source change page [1] you can select tag from combobox for master branch.

It seams that tags were not transferred to git repository...

I will put it to my TODO list, but this is not big priority for me for the moment....
