Hi everyone,

A new release of the Attempto Parsing Engine (APE) is available for 
download (version 6.5-100128):

     http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/site/downloads/

There are only few changes:

     * For consistency and convenience reasons, zero is now supported in
       cases like "John has 0 cars." and "John has more than 0 cars.".
       However, there are better alternatives than using "0" in most
       cases (e.g. "John has no cars.", "John has at least 1 car.").
     * Strings can now contain quotation marks, which have to be escaped
       by a backslash, e.g. "John types "ab\"cd".". Backslashes have to
       be escaped too: "John types "ab\\cd".".
     * Some complex but incorrect sentences took very long or even
       encountered a timeout. This is now fixed.
     * In some rare cases, function words were interpreted as
       prepositions for prefixed transitive adjectives or ditransitive
       verbs. This is also fixed.
