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

This is a bugfix release that brings minor changes and updates:

* ACE to DRS translation:
 - fixed: sentences like "For every woman of who everybody waits." now
correctly fail
 - fixed: a bug that in rare cases generated a DRS with duplicate referents
 - fixed: duplicate DRS conditions are now always suppressed
 - fixed: misguiding error message for imperatives
 - deprecated: the construct "the ... of which/who"

* DRS to FOL translation:
 - fixed: disjunctions related by anaphoric references (e.g. the DRS
of "A man sleeps or the man waits.") are now correctly mapped to FOL

* DRS to ACE translation:
 - improved: handling of disjunctions, e.g. "Every dog barks or a cat
sleeps." is now paraphrased as "A cat sleeps or if there is a dog X1
then the dog X1 barks."
 - restored: support for 0, e.g. "There are 0 men."

* DRS to OWL/SWRL translation:
 - the pretty-printed output (owlfsspp) now conforms to the OWL
Functional-Style Syntax (and can be parsed by the OWL-API)
 - avoid including redundant owl:Thing in intersections
 - now supported: the DRS of "John does not see what?"
 - fixed: sentences like "There is X. If X is a fireman then X is a
man." now map to OWL (instead of SWRL as before)
 - improved: the SWRL-mapping now supports formula/3 with =<, >=, \=
 - fixed: "Peter owns 3 kg of apples." now correctly fails

* Attempto Java Packages:
 - updated the Apache HTTP libraries to httpcore-4.1.1.jar and
httpclient-4.1.1.jar
 - removed the OWL Verbalizer Webservice interface, this is now
available at owlverbalizer.googlecode.com
 - updated enum OutputType: removed OWLRDF, added TPTP

* The APE regression test set (~3500 small ACE texts with their
corresponding DRSs) is now included (see ape/acetext_drs.pl)

* Several improvements to the documentation of ACE, DRS and the APE source code.
