[ANN] TextIndexNG 1.09 released
by Andreas Jung 08 Mar '03

08 Mar '03

I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG 1.09 TextIndexNG is a new pluggable index for the ZCatalog and is the most feature complete solution for fulltext inexing under Zope. TextIndexNG enhances the fulltext indexing capabilities of Zope by providing the following features: * support for document converters (HTML, PDF, WinWord, PowerPoint, Postscript). Custom converters can be easily added * stemmer support for 12 languages * optional support for right truncation * similarity search (soundex, metaphone support) (for English) * NEAR search * phrase search * pluggable query parsers (two parsers included) * stop words support * new test tab for interactive testing * faster than Zopes old TextIndex * full unicode support (new) * normalization support (new) * new similarity algorithm: double metaphone (new) * new TXNGSplitter * new vocabulary browser Changes since 1.08: * apply_index() now uses the default encoding choosen for a TextIndexNG instead of iso-8859-15 (thanks to Myrosav Opyr) * lexicons and storages now used IITreeSets? instead of IISet?. This should reduce memory consumption of TextIndexNG instances. Existing instances running TextIndexNG should be reindexed. * getEntryForObject() now returns a sequence of all index worde instead of "XXX distinct words" (standard behaviour of all Zope indexes). * words removed from a reindexed documents were not properly removed for the word-doc storage (means you could search for removed words and got hits although the words was no longer inside the document). Thanks to Yuppie, Tres Seavers and Dieter Maurer for pointing out this problem. It is highly recommended to reindex directly after the upgrading Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/textindexng -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Andreas Jung http://www.andreas-jung.com - - EMail: andreas at andreas-jung.com - - "Life is too short to (re)write parsers" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Initial release of RSessionDA
by Warnes, Gregory R 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

Announcing the initial release of RSessionDA. RSessionDA provides Zope objects for interacting with R <http://www.r-project.org>, an open-source language for statistical computing and graphics. These objects permit evaluation of functions in the R language using information in Zope. R data objects, graphics files, printed output, script transcripts, and data files can be returned to Zope for display. These tools make it easy to create web applications that include advanced statistical functionality. RSessionDA is built on RSOAP package, which provides access to R via the SOAP <http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/"> communications protocol. This allows Zope to access multiple independent R sessions running (if desired) on a separate compute server. For more information on or to download RSessionDA see: <http://software.biostat.washington.edu/statsoft/snake/RSessionDA> or <http://www.zope.org/Members/warnes/RSessionDA/> For more information on or to download RSOAP see: <http://software.biostat.washington.edu/statsoft/snake/RSOAP> or For more information on the R statistical package see: <http://www.r-project.org> -Greg LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.

ANN: eGenix mxODBC Zope Database Adapter, Version 1.0.0
by M.-A. Lemburg 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCEMENT EGENIX.COM mxODBC Zope Database Adapter Version 1.0.0 (for Zope 2.5 and 2.6) ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The eGenix mxODBC Zope Database Adapter (Zope DA) allows you to easily connect your Zope installation to just about any database backend on the market today, giving you the reliability of the commercially supported eGenix.com product mxODBC and the flexibility of the ODBC standard as middle-tier architecture. Unlike Zope's ZODBC Zope DA, the mxODBC Zope DA works on Windows XP/NT/2000/98/95, Linux and Solaris using the same interface on all platforms. The mxODBC Zope DA implements thread-safe connection pooling and multiple physical connects per logical Zope connection. You can safely run Z SQL Methods in parallel, achieving a much better performance than ZODBC Zope DA or similar Zope database adapters under heavy load. This makes it ideal for deployment in Zope Clusters and Zope hosting environments where stability and high performance are a top priority. ________________________________________________________________________ FEATURES * Zope Level 3 Database Adapter: the mxODBC Zope DA is fully multi-threaded and can handle multiple connections to multiple databases. * Fully compatible to Z SQL Methods. * Fully compatible to the Znolk SQL Wizard Product and other similar products relying on the common database schema access methods .tables() and .columns(). * Connection Pooling: physical database connections are pooled and kept open, to reduce the connection overhead to a minimum. This is especially important for high latency database connections and ones like Oracle which take a considerable amount of time to setup * Parallel Execution of Queries on a single logical connection: the mxODBC Zope DA can manage any number of physical connections on a single logical connection. This enables running truly parallel Z SQL Method queries -- a feature not available in other Zope DAs. * Robust Mode of Operation: connections which have timed out or go away due to network problems are automatically reconnected. * Cross-platform Connection Objects: The Zope DA will automatically choose the right platform specific ODBC manager for you. * Per Connection Adjustable ODBC Interface: mxODBC comes with many different subpackages to choose from on Unix. The Zope DA allows you to select these subpackages on a per-connection basis. * Per Connection Error Handling: you can tell each connection whether it should report ODBC warnings or not; furthermore all warnings and errors are made available as list .messages on the DatabaseConnection object. * Transaction safe automatic reconnect: when the DA finds that a connection has timed out, it automatically tries a reconnect and replays the transaction on the connection (unlike other DAs which break the transaction scheme by doing a reconnect without replay). * Built-in Schema Cache: this results in improved performance under heavy load. * Database Schema Access: all ODBC catalog methods are made available for much better database schema inquiry. The catalog methods allow building generic database interrogation or manipulation tools and facilitates writing database independent Zope products. ________________________________________________________________________ MORE INFORMATION For more information on the mxODBC Zope DA, licensing and download instructions, please visit our web-site: http://www.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ Thank you, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Software directly from the Source (#1, Feb 28 2003) >>> Python/Zope Products & Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ Python UK 2003, Oxford: 32 days left EuroPython 2003, Charleroi, Belgium: 116 days left
