Log Message:
Update to 5.5.1

Changelog:
[ANNOUNCE] Link-Grammar Version 5.5.0 is now available.

Version 5.5.0 of link-grammar has been released.  It contains several
important bug-fixes for opencog users.

* The previous version accidentally broke the opencog API. This version
  fixes it.

* Linkages generated by the "ANY" random parser were not actually being
  randomized.  This is now fixed.  (Bug reported by Andres.)

* Poorly-formated dictionaries no longer report errors.  (Bug reported
  by Alexei/Anton)

The complete list of changes is:

 * Fix accidental API breakage that impacts OpenCog.
 * Fix memory leak when parsing with null links.
 * Python bindings: Add an optional parse-option argument to parse().
 * Add an extended version API and use it in "link-parser --version".
 * Fix spurious errors if the last dict line is a comment.
 * Fix garbage report if EOF encountered in a quoted dict word.
 * Fix garbage report if whitespace encountered in a quoted dict word.
 * Add a per-command help in link-parser.
 * Add a command line completion in link-parser.
 * Enable build of word-graph printing support by default.
 * Add idiom lookup in link-parser's dict lookup command (!!idiom_here).
 * Improve handling of quoted words (e.g. single words in "scare
 * quotes").
 * Fix random selection of linkages so that it's actually random.

WHAT IS LINK GRAMMER?
The Link Grammar Parser is a syntactic parser of English (and other
languages as well), based on Link Grammar, an original theory of English
syntax. Given a sentence, the system assigns to it a syntactic structure,
which consists of a set of labelled links connecting pairs of words.

[ANNOUNCE] Link-Grammar Version 5.4.4 is now available.

I'm pleased to announce that version 5.4.4 is now available. I don't
normally announce minor versions, but this one was almost named 5.5.0.
Which suggests that there were some important changes. Dictionary
loading is now thread safe. Security vulnerabilities are fixed. Parsing
of Russian is now 2x faster than before. Connectors can be individually
given length limits - handy for morphology and phonetic agreement - and
the root reason for the Russian speedup.  An assortment of fixes to the
English dictionary, including a reversal of some back-sliding in the
test corpus.

[ANNOUNCE] Link-Grammar Version 5.4.0 is now available.

I'm pleased to announce that version 5.4.0 is now available. Besides
including various bug fixes, this release is notable for completely
restructuring the organization of the source code, grouping files into
directories according to the processing stage that they implement.  See
below for the full ChangeLog.
