Hi all.

I've merged in an update to the AssertionZoner (for detection of Sections
in clinical text).   There's a new markdown file in the project
ctakes-assertion-zoner describing the changes and how to take advantage of
the new features.   The update (code graciously permitted by my client
UCSF) does not include a further configuration (sections_regex.xml) beyond
the one supplied originally with ctakes.  This you'll probably need to
extend for the  characteristics of the text you are working with, but it's
a good starting point and one of the new features checked in here will help
you determine which section definitions you'll need to add.

There's also a new ctakes-project:  ctakes-mastif-zoner which was an
external support library that needed modification ...so the external
one, mastif-zoner-1.4.jar, has been removed as a dependency.  The new
"internal" version is based off of the mastif source version 1.6.   Make
sure you also remove the old version mastif-zoner-1.4.jar from any runtime
areas.

Peter
