rmmseg-cpp version 0.2.5  
by pluskid  
[http://rmmseg-cpp.rubyforge.org](http://rmmseg-cpp.rubyforge.org)

== DESCRIPTION

rmmseg-cpp is a high performance Chinese word segmentation utility for  
Ruby. It features full “Ferret”:[http://ferret.davebalmain.com/](http://ferret.davebalmain.com/)  
integration  
as well as support for normal Ruby program usage.

rmmseg-cpp is a re-written of the original  
RMMSeg([http://rmmseg.rubyforge.org/](http://rmmseg.rubyforge.org/)) gem in C++. RMMSeg is written  
in pure Ruby. Though I tried hard to tweak RMMSeg, it just consumes  
lots of memory and the segmenting process is rather slow.

The interface is almost identical to RMMSeg but the performance is  
much better. This gem is always preferable in production  
use. However, if you want to understand how the MMSEG segmenting  
algorithm works, the source code of RMMSeg is a better choice than  
this.

== CHANGES

- Created homepage on Rubyforge.
- Gem can be installed directly from Rubyforge now.
- Added rdoc for native extensions.
