Changes

• v1.4.0.9000 (unpublished)

  • added get_corpus_size(), which returns the total token count

• v1.4.0 (2024-11-23)

  • added collocatordb_query command line tool
  • added get_word_id(), which returns the ID of a word
  • added md_nws MI² score based on nominal window size (=10) instead of actual window size, for which only positions are counted where the collocate actually occurs

• v1.3.2 (2024-11-15)

  • added get_version(), which returns version string

• v1.3.1 (2024-11-14)

  • fixed calculation of total token count

TODO

• extend API
• add more unit tests
