There is no need for the additional layer of indirection that
the ICUNameProcessorRules class adds. The ICURuleLoader can
fill the database properties directly.
Adds a function to the Configuration class to load a YAML
file. This means that searching for the file is generalised
and works the same now for all configuration files. Changes
the search logic, so that it is always possible to have a
custom version of the configuration file in the project
directory.
Move ICU tokenizer to use new load function.
Two replacement words directly following each other did not
work as expected because each expects a space at the
beginning/end while there was only one space available.
Also forbit composing a word after a space was added in the
end by a previous replacement.
The new format combines compound splitting and abbreviation.
It also allows to restrict rules to additional conditions
(like language or region). This latter ability is not used
yet.
Compound decomposition now creates a full name variant on
import just like abbreviations. This simplifies query time
normalization and opens a path for changing abbreviation
and compund decomposition lists for an existing database.
This adds precomputation of abbreviated terms for names and removes
abbreviation of terms in the query. Basic import works but still
needs some thorough testing as well as speed improvements during
import.
New dependency for python library datrie.
