XUTools: eXTended UNIX Text-Processing Tools - Blog

XUTools Ourea (Oὔρεα): 6.1.2013

The goal of this release was to refactor the previous implementation to use the xutools.corpus module. The goal of this module is to allow practitioners to formalize textual analysis techniques as operations on a language (a set of strings). So far we have implemented XUGrep and XUWc using this abstraction. In the future, we will refactor XUDiff to use this library as well. In this release we focused primarily on Cisco IOS and TEI-XML data sets. Finally, we reworked the man pages to include examples as well as a description of xupath and the XUTools Grammar Library.

We named this release Oὔρεα as much of it was developed in the mountains of Hanover, NH during my Ph.D thesis. Thank you to Sean W. Smith (my advisor), Rakesh B. Bobba, Thomas H. Cormen, Doug McIlroy, and Daniel Rockmore for their help and guidance through this process.

We want this release (with the corpus-as-language abstraction) to provide a strong foundation upon which to extend these tools in the future.
