3 Feb 2005
    - a new release which incorporates several changes and bug fixes
    - added an option which makes the automatic tagging case sensitive 
(look in Edit/Options, the font selection is not enabled yet!)
    - added an option in the preference file which allows the user to 
specify the label of the root document. In the previous versions it had to
be DOCUMENT)
    - added an option in the preference file which allows the user to 
specify the labels used to the nodes. In the previous versions the nodes
which designated tokens had to be W or PUNCT
    - fixed some bugs related to the tree of entites

13 Nov 2003
    - turned off the autotag option. It can be annoying if the 
annotator doesn't want it. It can be turned back on from Options
    - the colors for foreground and background can be alse specified 
using hexa values like in HTML (e.g. #23e4ff)

9 Oct 2003
    - added the PREFIX option in the preferences file which enables 
the program to deal with ID which contain a string prefix. Actually, 
when the program reads a file it does not bother if the ID contain any 
prefix or the right prefix. During the annotation the prefix is added 
to the ID. There is only one counter used in the program so the unique 
IDs will be a bit strange ... but unique :)

8 Oct 2003
    - some of the attributes can be declared optional using ATTROPT

24 Sept 2003
    - more operations are disabled during the tagging. This is necessary 
to avoid some situations when the program crashed if a file was loaded 
while a markable was tagged. 
    - the information about a relation which was overwritten was not 
corrently recorded which made the program crash.
    - some cosmetic chages
    - fixed few problems with undo/redo

23 Sept 2003
    - implemented undo/redo for inserting markables and relations

22 Sept 2003

    - few cosmetic changes in order to make the interface nicer

2 May 2003
    - fixed a bug which sometimes did not allowed to insert a tag. 
    - big change which make the program to ignore the text which does not

the file and the ones marked during the annotation are inserted in the tree
in alphabetical order.
    - fixed a bug with made the program crash when the user selected to 
overwrite an existing relation

12 Mar 2003
    - lots of changes to the interface. Added more buttons in the toolbar
most of which even work :)
    - the messages are displayed in a JEditorPane instead of being displayed 
in a JLabel, so not there are more options available
    - added 2 buttons confirm/cancel which appear in the toolbar only when
confirmation is required
    - removed the bold from the menu items
    - added two functions: readyForOperations() and 
disableOperations(int, String) which control which options are enabled and 
allow to display messages and set the status

23 Jan 2003
    - corrected a bug which did not allow to insert a marker when the first 
word is also first in another markable which contains a relation. (changed 
the isTheLeftMostNode function)

15 July 2002:
    - changes in the preferences file. Added an option which allows to put
