Version 1.92a is a bug fix release. Sgrep-1.91a contained a fatal bug which caused sgrep to core dump every time it was used to search files without using the SGML-scanner. NEWS for vesion 1.91a Sgrep-1.91a has been made available in source and binary forms. Binaries are available for Win32, HP-UX, Linux, OSF1 and Solaris platforms. Sgrep is a tool to search and index text, SGML, XML and HTML files using structured patterns. New features in version 1.91a include: - Nearness operators for both ordered and unordered nearness. - Support for 16-bit wide query terms (this really means, that Sgrep now supports Unicode) - Support for UTF-16 and UTF-8 encodings - 'parenting' operator is now an order of magnitude faster (in the common case) - Sgrep now emits and parses #line-directives, which allows for more accurate error reporting - An option to query terms from index files - Many bug fixes - Introduces some new bugs (hopefully not as many as I fixed). With version 1.91 I have actually implemented all the new features I ever planned to have in Sgrep-2. There are still things to do, but they are mostly small enchantments compared to the work required for introducing Unicode support to Sgrep. So now I am waiting for your suggestions, while I am updating the documentation. Should I: - Add support for using Sgrep from Perl scripts? - Create examples of how to use Sgrep as a local search engine for WWW-servers? - Make Sgrep fully XML-comformant? (With Unicode support this is now possible) - Something else? - Forget Sgrep, because it isn't really useful?

Binaries are available for Win32, HP-UX, Linux, OSF1 and Solaris platforms. Sgrep is a tool to search and index text, SGML, XML and HTML files using structured patterns. This example searches TITLE elements containing word Hamlet from Jon Bosaks XML-text collections (both the religious texts and Shakespeares works): % time sgrep -x index 'stag("TITLE") .. etag("TITLE") containing word("Hamlet")' The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark 0.04user 0.01system 0:00.12elapsed 39%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (365major+73minor)pagefaults 0swaps Sgrep-1.90a is still under development, but can be considered as a major step towards version 2.0. New features in 1.90a include - Query operators supporting direct containment. In SGML and XML world this means that you can query children and parents of given elements. - The sources are available under GPL-license for those interested in compiling sgrep themselves. - Sgrep now uses GNU autoconf, so compiling sgrep under Unix-systems should be easy. - Many bug fixes
