New in version 0.9.0:
create a predefined default set of common license terms/phrases and associate them with specific licenses
create new “groups” (aka canonical name) of license terms/phrases to fine tune fossology to identify particular terms within a scanned section and (optionally) associate it with one or more licenses.
This new feature can be accessed via the UI through Organize → License → Manage Groups and via Organize → License → Manage Terms
Added new agent “licinspect” to inspect license sections for terms that might change the license identification.
Created agent-license-once-compare.php for selectively choosing the license to compare against. This feature is useful to see why fossology chose one license over another. This feature is available as the “Recompare” micro-menu in the View License window.
Added columns to the uploadtree table in the fossology db to eliminate expensive queries using join and improve overall db performance.
delagent: huge speed improvement (went from iterating to just doing one delete.)
Many new license templates added.
Many Bug fixes. Including, the “comma comma” problem, where a copyright statement containing a bunch of years separated by commas end up matching all other licenses that contain a series of commas.
