[Zope-Annce] TextIndexNG V 0.10 released

[Andreas Jung]

I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG V 0.10.
TextIndexNG is a pluggable index for the ZCatalog that
enhances the full text indexing capabilities of Zope 
by providing the following features:

  - support for document converters 

  - stemmer support for 12 languages

  - similarity search (soundex, metaphone support)
    (not fully integrated)

  - NEAR search (including phrase search)

  - new query parser

  - extended stop word support

  - Thesauri (planned)

  - word normalization

  - unicode support

  - new 'test' tab for interactive testing


Changes: 

 - simplified installation
         
 - replaced installation for C extensions by a 
   single setup.py file

 - full integration of Stemmer and Splitter 
  functions (no more persistence related error messages)

 - temp. replaced existing query parser by a more 
   dumb query parser that is currenty more usable 
   than the "official" parser

 - integrated new ConverterRegistry and added several
document converters (based on converters from Casey Duncans
DocumentLibrary)
        
 - greatly improved interactiveDemo.py
 
 - tons of bug fixes

Requirements:

  TextIndexNG currently runs only on the Zope trunk but not
  with Zope 2.5.X (some tweaks are required to install it
  under 2.5.X)
