Description Ed Davison 2006-08-30 10:10:13 UTC

A new version of this software was released today:

Changes:
better threshold value detection
fix pnm reads for 2 byte pixels (--with-libpbm=no)
update man-page (mail me your suggestions)
fix g++ warnings, float-OPs replaced by int-OPs
spacing reviewed; make distance() more sensitive
xml-objects (barcode, melted chars) handled with weights
fix division by zero bug for vertical positioned chars
default output is UTF8 now, UTF-encoding bug fixed
added certainty option
added uninstall to Makefile
debug image format changed to png (using pipe)
much better word spacing (line-by-line based)
better DOT_ABOVE recognition
fix output of char groups or strings stored in database, utf8 input
fix buffer overflow in barcode decode39
fix lost comma on end of line
internal vector format added for future use (faster, scalable, rotable)
line detection extended
internal list management rewritten to fix memory leaks and segfaults


I have tested this with my portage overlay directory with a simple rename of the gocr-0.40.ebuild -> gocr-0.41.ebuild and all built and installed with no problems.

Ok, I missed the patch or it was released after the initial release.  I have updated my ebuild and am attaching it here as well as the patch that needs to be applied.

The new version should have tk in IUSE, tk? ( dev-lang/tk ) in RDEPEND and install gocr.tcl only if tk is enabled.

The new version is definitely better on recognizing spam.
