> As I understand it, the "only" change from 3.0 to 3.2 is Unicode/UTF-8. But since this makes 3.2 backwards incompatible, I think you should consider renaming it to 4.0 instead.

That's what we're going to do for the official release, once it's stable and has been thoroughly tested.  We expect that to happen sometime in spring 2011, so we can publicise it at one of the corpus linguistics-related conferences next year.

Version 3.2 is a beta version for developers (and those desperate to get Unicode support), it isn't considered a fully supported version for public use.

How did you end up installing 3.2, by the way?  All the regular download links on the CWB Web site should point you to the stable 3.2 release.

> PS. I solved my problems with CWB::Web::Query temporarily, by simply commenting out everything that mentions CWB::CL. This affects only one method, $query->structures(..), which I have to do without until 3.2 is fixed.

Or you could downgrade to 3.0 if you don't need Unicode.

Best,
Stefan
