Description bf 2008-11-09 07:00:08 UTC
To keep things simple, I disabled the rudimentary java support in the configure
script.  If someone is interested in retaining it, I can change the patch and add
an option.  For a summary of changes, see:

http://svn.abisource.com/link-grammar/trunk/ChangeLog

Note that this includes an earlier security fix for a stack-based buffer overflow:

Comment 2 bf 2008-11-09 08:10:52 UTC
I should mention that there is a multi-threaded version that has been
available since 4.3.6.  It is disabled by default, because it has received
less testing, but it works for me and it may be useful for others working
with large documents, especially on SMP.  If we choose to enable the 
multi-threaded version by default in the port, we should use something
like the attached patch, instead of the first patch I submitted.

Regards,
         b.

Committed the pthread version, thanks! As for the Java stuff, I think it's ok 
to disable it by default until someone request us to provide the optional. 
There is only a port, abiword-plugins, depends on link-grammar and none of 
other ports that needs Java support yet.
