Release 1.3 - 01/19/2013 * Mimetype definitions added for more common programming languages, including common extensions, but not magic patterns. (TIKA-1055) * MS Word: When a Word (.doc) document contains embedded files or links to external documents, Tika now places a
placeholder into the XHTML so you can see where in the main text the embedded document occurred (TIKA-956, TIKA-1019). Embedded Wordpad/RTF documents are now recognized (TIKA-982). * PDF: Text from pop-up annotations is now extracted (TIKA-981). Text from bookmarks is now extracted (TIKA-1035). * PKCS7: Detached signatures no longer through NullPointerException (TIKA-986). * iWork: The chart name for charts embedded in numbers documents is now extracted (TIKA-918). * CLI: TikaCLI -m now handles multi-valued metadata keys correctly (previously it only printed the first value). (TIKA-920) * MS Word (.docx): When a Word (.docx) document contains embedded files, Tika now places a into the XHTML so you can see where in the main text the embedded document occurred. The id (rId) is included in the Metadata of each embedded document as the new Metadata.EMBEDDED_RELATIONSHIP_ID key, and TikaCLI prepends the rId (if present) onto the filename it extracts (TIKA-989). Fixed NullPointerException when style is null (TIKA-1006). Text inside text boxes is now extracted (TIKA-1005). * RTF: Page, word, character count and creation date metadata are now extracted for RTF documents (TIKA-999). * MS PowerPoint (.pptx): When a PowerPoint (.pptx) document contains embedded files, Tika now places a into the XHTML so you can see where in the main text the embedded document occurred. The id (rId) is included in the Metadata of each embedded document as the new Metadata.EMBEDDED_RELATIONSHIP_ID key, and TikaCLI prepends the rId (if present) onto the filename it extracts (TIKA-997, TIKA-1032). * MS PowerPoint (.ppt): When a PowerPoint (.ppt) document contains embedded files, Tika now places a into the XHTML so you can see where in the main text the embedded document occurred (TIKA-1025). Text from the master slide is now extracted (TIKA-712). * MHTML: fixed Null charset name exception when a mime part has an unrecognized charset (TIKA-1011). * MP3: if an ID3 tag was encoded in UTF-16 with only the BOM then on certain JVMs this would incorrectly extract the BOM as the tag's value (TIKA-1024). * ZIP: placeholders () are now left in the XHTML so you can see where each archive member appears (TIKA-1036). TikaCLI would hit FileNotFoundException when extracting files that were under sub-directories from a ZIP archive, because it failed to create the parent directories first (TIKA-1031). * XML: a space character is now added before each element (TIKA-1048) Release 1.2 - 07/10/2012 --------------------------------- * Tika's JAX-RS based Network server now is based on Apache CXF, which is available in Maven Central and now allows the server module to be packaged and included in our release (TIKA-593, TIKA-901). * Tika: parseToString now lets you specify the max string length per-call, in addition to per-Tika-instance. (TIKA-870) * Tika now has the ability to detect FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) files (TIKA-874). * Images: Fixed file handle leak in ImageParser. (TIKA-875) * iWork: Comments in Pages files are now extracted (TIKA-907). Headers, footers and footnotes in Pages files are now extracted (TIKA-906). Don't throw NullPointerException on passsword protected iWork files, even though we can't parse their contents yet (TIKA-903). Text extracted from Keynote text boxes and bullet points no longer runs together (TIKA-910). Also extract text for Pages documents created in layout mode (TIKA-904). Table names are now extracted in Numbers documents (TIKA-924). Content added to master slides is also extracted (TIKA-923). * Archive and compression formats: The Commons Compress dependency was upgraded from 1.3 to 1.4.1. With this change Tika can now parse also Unix dump archives and documents compressed using the XZ and Pack200 compression formats. (TIKA-932) * KML: Tika now has basic support for Keyhole Markup Language documents (KML and KMZ) used by tools like Google Earth. See also http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/kml/. (TIKA-941) * CLI: You can now use the TIKA_PASSWORD environment variable or the --password=X command line option to specify the password that Tika CLI should use for opening encrypted documents (TIKA-943). * Character encodings: Tika's character encoding detection mechanism was improved by adding integration to the juniversalchardet library that implements Mozilla's universal charset detection algorithm. The slower ICU4J algorithms are still used as a fallback thanks to their wider coverage of custom character encodings. (TIKA-322, TIKA-471) * Charset parameter: Related to the character encoding improvements mentioned above, Tika now returns the detected character encoding as a "charset" parameter of the content type metadata field for text/plain and text/html documents. For example, instead of just "text/plain", the returned content type will be something like "text/plain; charset=UTF-8" for a UTF-8 encoded text document. Character encoding information is still present also in the content encoding metadata field for backwards compatibility, but that field should be considered deprecated. (TIKA-431) * Extraction of embedded resources from OLE2 Office Documents, where the resource isn't another office document, has been fixed (TIKA-948) Release 1.1 - 3/7/2012 --------------------------------- * Link Extraction: The rel attribute is now extracted from links per the LinkConteHandler. (TIKA-824) * MP3: Fixed handling of UTF-16 (two byte) ID3v2 tags (previously the last character in a UTF-16 tag could be corrupted) (TIKA-793) * Performance: Loading of the default media type registry is now significantly faster. (TIKA-780) * PDF: Allow controlling whether overlapping duplicated text should be removed. Disabling this (the default) can give big speedups to text extraction and may workaround cases where non-duplicated characters were incorrectly removed (TIKA-767). Allow controlling whether text tokens should be sorted by their x/y position before extracting text (TIKA-612); this is necessary for certain PDFs. Fixed cases where too many tags appear in the XHTML output, causing NPE when opening some PDFs with the GUI (TIKA-778). * RTF: Fixed case where a font change would result in processing bytes in the wrong font's charset, producing bogus text output (TIKA-777). Don't output whitespace in ignored group states, avoiding excessive whitespace output (TIKA-781). Binary embedded content (using \bin control word) is now skipped correctly; previously it could cause the parser to incorrectly extract binary content as text (TIKA-782). * CLI: New TikaCLI option "--list-detectors", which displays the mimetype detectors that are available, similar to the existing "--list-parsers" option for parsers. (TIKA-785). * Detectors: The order of detectors, as supplied via the service registry loader, is now controlled. User supplied detectors are prefered, then Tika detectors (such as the container aware ones), and finally the core Tika MimeTypes is used as a backup. This allows for specific, detailed detectors to take preference over the default mime magic + filename detector. (TIKA-786) * Microsoft Project (MPP): Filetype detection has been fixed, and basic metadata (but no text) is now extracted. (TIKA-789) * Outlook: fixed NullPointerException in TikaGUI when messages with embedded RTF or HTML content were filtered (TIKA-801). * Ogg Vorbis and FLAC: Parser added for Ogg Vorbis and FLAC audio files, which extract audio metadata and tags (TIKA-747) * MP4: Improved mime magic detection for MP4 based formats (including QuickTime, MP4 Video and Audio, and 3GPP) (TIKA-851) * MP4: Basic metadata extracting parser for MP4 files added, which includes limited audio and video metadata, along with the iTunes media metadata (such as Artist and Title) (TIKA-852) * Document Passwords: A new ParseContext object, PasswordProvider, has been added. This provides a way to supply the password for a document during processing. Currently, only password protected PDFs and Microsoft OOXML Files are supported. (TIKA-850) Release 1.0 - 11/4/2011 --------------------------------- The most notable changes in Tika 1.0 over previous releases are: * API: All methods, classes and interfaces that were marked as deprecated in Tika 0.10 have been removed to clean up the API (TIKA-703). You may need to adjust and recompile client code accordingly. The declared OSGi package versions are now 1.0, and will thus not resolve for client bundles that still refer to 0.x versions (TIKA-565). * Configuration: The context class loader of the current thread is no longer used as the default for loading configured parser and detector classes. You can still pass an explicit class loader to the configuration mechanism to get the previous behaviour. (TIKA-565) * OSGi: The tika-core bundle will now automatically pick up and use any available Parser and Detector services when deployed to an OSGi environment. The tika-parsers bundle provides such services based on for all the supported file formats for which the upstream parser library is available. If you don't want to track all the parser libraries as separate OSGi bundles, you can use the tika-bundle bundle that packages tika-parsers together with all its upstream dependencies. (TIKA-565) * RTF: Hyperlinks in RTF documents are now extracted as an ... element (TIKA-632). The RTF parser is also now more robust when encountering too many closing {'s vs. opening {'s (TIKA-733). * MS Word: From Word (.doc) documents we now extract optional hyphen as Unicode zero-width space (U+200B), and non-breaking hyphen as Unicode non-breaking hyphen (U+2011). (TIKA-711) * Outlook: Tika can now process also attachments in Outlook messages. (TIKA-396) * MS Office: Performance of extracting embedded office docs was improved. (TIKA-753) * PDF: The PDF parser now extracts paragraphs within each page (TIKA-742) and can now optionally extract text from PDF annotations (TIKA-738). There's also an option to enable (the default) or disable auto-space insertion (TIKA-724). * Language detection: Tika can now detect Belarusian, Catalan, Esperanto, Galician, Lithuanian (TIKA-582), Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, and Ukrainian (TIKA-681). * Java: Tika no longer ships retrotranslated Java 1.4 binaries along with the normal ones that work with Java 5 and higher. (TIKA-744) * OpenOffice documents: header/footer text is now extracted for text, presentation and spreadsheet documents (TIKA-736) Tika 1.0 relies on the following set of major dependencies (generated using mvn dependency:tree from tika-parsers): org.apache.tika:tika-parsers:bundle:1.0 +- org.apache.tika:tika-core:jar:1.0:compile +- edu.ucar:netcdf:jar:4.2-min:compile | \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.5.6:compile +- org.apache.james:apache-mime4j-core:jar:0.7:compile +- org.apache.james:apache-mime4j-dom:jar:0.7:compile +- org.apache.commons:commons-compress:jar:1.3:compile +- commons-codec:commons-codec:jar:1.5:compile +- org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox:jar:1.6.0:compile | +- org.apache.pdfbox:fontbox:jar:1.6.0:compile | +- org.apache.pdfbox:jempbox:jar:1.6.0:compile | \- commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1.1:compile +- org.bouncycastle:bcmail-jdk15:jar:1.45:compile +- org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15:jar:1.45:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi:jar:3.8-beta4:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi-scratchpad:jar:3.8-beta4:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:jar:3.8-beta4:compile | +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml-schemas:jar:3.8-beta4:compile | | \- org.apache.xmlbeans:xmlbeans:jar:2.3.0:compile | \- dom4j:dom4j:jar:1.6.1:compile +- org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec:jar:1.0.1:compile +- org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup:tagsoup:jar:1.2.1:compile +- asm:asm:jar:3.1:compile +- com.drewnoakes:metadata-extractor:jar:2.4.0-beta-1:compile +- de.l3s.boilerpipe:boilerpipe:jar:1.1.0:compile +- rome:rome:jar:0.9:compile \- jdom:jdom:jar:1.0:compile The following people have contributed to Tika 1.0 by submitting or commenting on the issues resolved in this release: Andrzej Bialecki Antoni Mylka Benson Margulies Chris A.

Release 0.10 - 09/25/2011 ------------------------- The most notable changes in Tika 0.10 over previous releases are: * A parser for CHM help files was added. (TIKA-245) * TIKA-698: Invalid characters are now replaced with the Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD), whereas before such characters were replaced with spaces, so you may need to change your processing of Tika's output to now handle U+FFFD. * The RTF parser was rewritten to perform its own direct shallow parse of the RTF content, instead of using RTFEditorKit from javax.swing. This fixes several issues in the old parser, including doubling of Unicode characters in certain cases (TIKA-683), exceptions on mal-formed RTF docs (TIKA-666), and missing text from some elements (header/footer, hyperlinks, footnotes, text inside pictures). * Handling of temporary files within Tika was much improved (TIKA-701, TIKA-654, TIKA-645, TIKA-153) * The Tika GUI got a facelift and some extra features (TIKA-635) * The apache-mime4j dependency of the email message parser was upgraded from version 0.6 to 0.7 (TIKA-716). The parser also now accepts a MimeConfig object in the ParseContext as configuration (TIKA-640). Tika 0.10 relies on the following set of major dependencies (generated using mvn dependency:tree from tika-parsers): org.apache.tika:tika-parsers:bundle:0.10 +- org.apache.tika:tika-core:jar:0.10:compile +- edu.ucar:netcdf:jar:4.2-min:compile | \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.5.6:compile +- org.apache.james:apache-mime4j-core:jar:0.7:compile +- org.apache.james:apache-mime4j-dom:jar:0.7:compile +- org.apache.commons:commons-compress:jar:1.1:compile +- commons-codec:commons-codec:jar:1.4:compile +- org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox:jar:1.6.0:compile | +- org.apache.pdfbox:fontbox:jar:1.6.0:compile | +- org.apache.pdfbox:jempbox:jar:1.6.0:compile | \- commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1.1:compile +- org.bouncycastle:bcmail-jdk15:jar:1.45:compile +- org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15:jar:1.45:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi:jar:3.8-beta4:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi-scratchpad:jar:3.8-beta4:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:jar:3.8-beta4:compile | +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml-schemas:jar:3.8-beta4:compile | | \- org.apache.xmlbeans:xmlbeans:jar:2.3.0:compile | \- dom4j:dom4j:jar:1.6.1:compile +- org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec:jar:1.0.1:compile +- org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup:tagsoup:jar:1.2.1:compile +- asm:asm:jar:3.1:compile +- com.drewnoakes:metadata-extractor:jar:2.4.0-beta-1:compile +- de.l3s.boilerpipe:boilerpipe:jar:1.1.0:compile +- rome:rome:jar:0.9:compile \- jdom:jdom:jar:1.0:compile The following people have contributed to Tika 0.10 by submitting or commenting on the issues resolved in this release: Alain Viret Alex Ott Alexander Chow Andreas Kemkes Andrew Khoury Babak Farhang Benjamin Douglas Benson Margulies Chris A.

Release 0.9 - 02/13/2011 ------------------------ The most notable changes in Tika 0.9 over previous releases are: * A critical bugfix preventing metadata from printing to the command line when the underlying Parser didn't generate XHTML output was fixed. (TIKA-596) * The 0.8 version of Tika included a NetCDF jar file that pulled in tremendous amounts of redundant dependencies. This has been addressed in Tika 0.9 by republishing a minimal NetCDF jar and changing Tika to depend on that. (TIKA-556) * MIME detection for iWork, and OpenXML documents has been improved. (TIKA-533, TIKA-562, TIKA-588) * A critical backwards incompatible bug in PDF parsing that was introduced in Tika 0.8 has been fixed. (TIKA-548) * Support for forked parsing in separate processes was added. (TIKA-416) * Tika's language identifier now supports the Lithuanian language. (TIKA-582) Tika 0.9 relies on the following set of major dependencies (generated using mvn dependency:tree from tika-parsers): org.apache.tika:tika-parsers:bundle:0.9 +- org.apache.tika:tika-core:jar:0.9:compile +- edu.ucar:netcdf:jar:4.2-min:compile | \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.5.6:compile +- commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:3.1:compile | +- commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1.1:compile (version managed from 1.0.4) | \- commons-codec:commons-codec:jar:1.2:compile +- org.apache.james:apache-mime4j:jar:0.6:compile +- org.apache.commons:commons-compress:jar:1.1:compile +- org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox:jar:1.4.0:compile | +- org.apache.pdfbox:fontbox:jar:1.4.0:compile | \- org.apache.pdfbox:jempbox:jar:1.4.0:compile +- org.bouncycastle:bcmail-jdk15:jar:1.45:compile +- org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15:jar:1.45:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi:jar:3.7:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi-scratchpad:jar:3.7:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:jar:3.7:compile | +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml-schemas:jar:3.7:compile | | \- org.apache.xmlbeans:xmlbeans:jar:2.3.0:compile | \- dom4j:dom4j:jar:1.6.1:compile +- org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec:jar:1.0.1:compile +- org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup:tagsoup:jar:1.2:compile +- asm:asm:jar:3.1:compile +- com.drewnoakes:metadata-extractor:jar:2.4.0-beta-1:compile +- de.l3s.boilerpipe:boilerpipe:jar:1.1.0:compile +- rome:rome:jar:0.9:compile \- jdom:jdom:jar:1.0:compile The following people have contributed to Tika 0.9 by submitting or commenting on the issues resolved in this release: Alex Skochin Alexander Chow Antoine L.

Release 0.8 - 11/07/2010 ------------------------ The most notable changes in Tika 0.8 over previous releases are: * Language identification is now dynamically configurable, managed via a config file loaded from the classpath. (TIKA-490) * Tika now supports parsing Feeds by wrapping the underlying Rome library. (TIKA-466) * A quick-start guide for Tika parsing was contributed. (TIKA-464) * An approach for plumbing through XHTML attributes was added. (TIKA-379) * Media type hierarchy information is now taken into account when selecting the best parser for a given input document. (TIKA-298) * Support for parsing common scientific data formats including netCDF and HDF4/5 was added (TIKA-400 and TIKA-399). * Unit tests for Windows have been fixed, allowing TestParsers to complete. (TIKA-398) Tika 0.8 relies on the following set of major dependencies (generated using mvn dependency:tree from tika-parsers): org.apache.tika:tika-parsers:bundle:0.8 +- org.apache.tika:tika-core:jar:0.8:compile +- edu.ucar:netcdf:jar:4.2:compile | \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.5.6:compile +- commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:3.1:compile | +- commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1.1:compile (version managed from 1.0.4) | \- commons-codec:commons-codec:jar:1.2:compile +- org.apache.commons:commons-compress:jar:1.1:compile +- org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox:jar:1.3.1:compile | +- org.apache.pdfbox:fontbox:jar:1.3.1:compile | \- org.apache.pdfbox:jempbox:jar:1.3.1:compile +- org.bouncycastle:bcmail-jdk15:jar:1.45:compile +- org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15:jar:1.45:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi:jar:3.7:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi-scratchpad:jar:3.7:compile +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:jar:3.7:compile | +- org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml-schemas:jar:3.7:compile | | \- org.apache.xmlbeans:xmlbeans:jar:2.3.0:compile | \- dom4j:dom4j:jar:1.6.1:compile +- org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec:jar:1.0.1:compile +- org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup:tagsoup:jar:1.2:compile +- asm:asm:jar:3.1:compile +- com.drewnoakes:metadata-extractor:jar:2.4.0-beta-1:compile +- de.l3s.boilerpipe:boilerpipe:jar:1.1.0:compile +- rome:rome:jar:0.9:compile \- jdom:jdom:jar:1.0:compile The following people have contributed to Tika 0.8 by submitting or commenting on the issues resolved in this release: ≈Åukasz Wiktor Adam Wilmer Alex Baranau Alex Ott Andr√© Ricardo Andrey Barhatov Andrey Sidorenko Antoni Mylka Arturo Beltran Attila Kir√°ly Brad Greenlee Bruno Dumon Chris A.

Release 0.7 - 3/31/2010 ----------------------- The most notable changes in Tika 0.7 over previous releases are: * MP3 file parsing was improved, including Channel and SampleRate extraction and ID3v2 support (TIKA-368, TIKA-372). Further, audio parsing mime detection was also improved for the MIDI format. (TIKA-199) * Tika no longer relies on X11 for its RTF parsing functionality. (TIKA-386) * A Thread-safe bug in the AutoDetectParser was discovered and addressed. (TIKA-374) * Upgrade to PDFBox 1.0.0. The new PDFBox version improves PDF parsing performance and fixes a number of text extraction issues. (TIKA-380) The following people have contributed to Tika 0.7 by submitting or commenting on the issues resolved in this release: Adam Rauch Benson Margulies Brett S. Chris A. Mattmann Daan de Wit Dave Meikle Durville Ingo Renner Jukka Zitting Ken Krugler Kenny Neal Markus Goldbach Maxim Valyanskiy Nick Burch Sami Siren Uwe Schindler See http://tinyurl.com/yklopby for more details on these contributions. Release 0.6 - 01/20/2010 ------------------------ The most notable changes in Tika 0.6 over the previous release are: * Mime-type detection for HTML (and all types) has been improved, allowing malformed HTML files and those HTML files that require a bit more observed content before the type is properly detected, are now correctly identified by the AutoDetectParser. (TIKA-327, TIKA-357, TIKA-366, TIKA-367) * Tika now has an additional OSGi bundle packaging that includes all the required parser libraries. This bundle package makes it easy to use all Tika features in an OSGi environment. (TIKA-340, TIKA-342) * The Apache POI dependency used for parsing Microsoft Office file formats has been upgraded to version 3.6. The most visible improvement in this version is the notably reduced ooxml jar file size. The tika-app jar size is now down to 15MB from the 25MB in Tika 0.5. (TIKA-353) * Handling of character encoding information in input metadata and HTML tags has been improved. When no applicable encoding information is available, the encoding is detected by looking at the input data. (TIKA-332, TIKA-334, TIKA-335, TIKA-341) * Some document types like Excel spreadsheets contain content like numbers or formulas whose exact text format depends on the current locale. So far Tika has used the platform default locale in such cases, but clients can now explicitly specify the locale by passing a Locale instance in the parse context. (TIKA-125) * The default text output encoding of the tika-app jar is now UTF-8 when running on Mac OS X. This is because the default encoding used by Java is not compatible with the console application in Mac OS X. On all other platforms the text output from tika-app still uses the platform default encoding. (TIKA-324) * A flash video (video/x-flv) parser has been added. (TIKA-328) * The handling of Number and Date cell formatting within the Microsoft Excel documents has been added. This include currencies, percentages and scientific formats. (TIKA-103) The following people have contributed to Tika 0.6 by submitting or commenting on the issues resolved in this release: Andrzej Bialecki Bertrand Delacretaz Chris A. Mattmann Dave Meikle Erik Hetzner Felix Meschberger Jukka Zitting Julien Nioche Ken Krugler Luke Nezda Maxim Valyanskiy Niall Pemberton Peter Wolanin Piotr B. Sami Siren Yuan-Fang Li See http://tinyurl.com/yc3dk67 for more details on these contributions. Release 0.5 - 11/14/2009 ------------------------ The most notable changes in Tika 0.5 over the previous release are: * Improved RDF/OWL mime detection using both MIME magic as well as pattern matching (TIKA-309) * An org.apache.tika.Tika facade class has been added to simplify common text extraction and type detection use cases. (TIKA-269) * A new parse context argument was added to the Parser.parse() method. This context map can be used to pass things like a delegate parser or other settings to the parsing process. The previous parse() method signature has been deprecated and will be removed in Tika 1.0. (TIKA-275) * A simple ngram-based language detection mechanism has been added along with predefined language profiles for 18 languages. (TIKA-209) * The media type registry in Tika was synchronized with the MIME type configuration in the Apache HTTP Server. Tika now knows about 1274 different media types and can detect 672 of those using 927 file extension and 280 magic byte patterns. (TIKA-285) * Tika now uses the Apache PDFBox version 0.8.0-incubating for parsing PDF documents. This version is notably better than the 0.7.3 release used earlier. (TIKA-158) The following people have contributed to Tika 0.5 by submitting or commenting on the issues resolved in this release: Alex Baranov Bart Hanssens Benson Margulies Chris A.

Robert Newson Sascha Szott Ted Dunning Thilo Goetz Uwe Schindler Yuan-Fang Li See http://tinyurl.com/yl9prwp for more details on these contributions. Release 0.4 - 07/14/2009 ------------------------ The most notable changes in Tika 0.4 over the previous release are: * Tika has been split to three different components for increased modularity. The tika-core component contains the key interfaces and core functionality of Tika, tika-parsers contains all the adapters to external parser libraries, and tika-app bundles everything together in a single executable jar file. (TIKA-219) * All the three Tika components are packaged as OSGi bundles. (TIKA-228) * Tika now uses the new Commons Compress library for improved support of compression and packaging formats like gzip, bzip2, tar, cpio, ar, zip and jar. (TIKA-204) * The memory use of parsing Excel sheets with lots of numbers has been considerably reduced. (TIKA-211) * The AutoDetectParser now has basic protection against "zip bomb" attacks, where a specially crafted input document can expand to practically infinite amount of output text. (TIKA-216) * The ParsingReader class can now use a thread pool or a more complex execution model (java.util.concurrent.Executor) for the background parsing task. (TIKA-215) * Automatic type detection of text- and XML-based documents has been improved. (TIKA-225) * Charset detection functionality from the ICU4J library was inlined in Tika to avoid the dependency to the large ICU4J jar. (TIKA-229) * Composite parsers like the AutoDetectParser now make sure that any RuntimeExceptions, IOExceptions or SAXExceptions unrelated to the given document stream or content handler are converted to TikaExceptions before being passed to the client.

Release 0.3 - 03/09/2009 ------------------------ The most notable changes in Tika 0.3 over the previous release are: * Tika now supports mime type glob patterns specified using standard JDK 1.4 (and beyond) syntax via the isregex attribute on the glob tag. See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html for more information. (TIKA-194) * Tika now supports the Office Open XML format used by Microsoft Office 2007. (TIKA-152) * All the metadata keys for Microsoft Office document properties are now included as constants in the MSOffice interface. Clients should use these constants instead of the raw string values to refer to specific metadata items. (TIKA-186) * Automatic detection of document types in Tika has been improved. For example Tika can now detect plain text just by looking at the first few bytes of the document. (TIKA-154) * Tika now disables the loading of all external entities in XML files that it parses as input documents. This improves security and avoids problems with potentially broken references. (TIKA-185) * Tika now replaces all invalid XML characters in the extracted text content with spaces. This prevents problems when output from Tika is processed with XML tools. (TIKA-180) * The Tika CLI now correctly flushes its buffers when invoked with the --text argument. This prevents the end of the text output from being lost. (TIKA-179) * Embedded text in MIDI files is now extracted. For example many karaoke files contain song lyrics embedded as MIDI text. * The text content of Microsoft Outlook message files no longer appears as multiple copies in the extracted text. (TIKA-197) * The ParsingReader class now makes most document metadata available already before any of the extracted text is consumed. This makes it easier for example to construct Lucene Document instances that contain both extracted text and metadata.
