Apache Tika 1.27

	 The most notable changes in Tika 1.27 over the previous release are:

	 * Migrate MP4 parsing to Drew Noakes' metadata-extractor ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3459}TIKA-3459}}).
	   Note: to revert to legacy parser turn off NoakesMP4Parser and turn on MP4Parser via tika-config.xml.

	 * Prevent rare infinite loop in tika-server's -spawnChild mode when restart fails
	   because of failure to bind to the port ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3441}TIKA-3441}}).

	 * Improve likelihood that tesseract will not be orphaned on jvm restart in tika-server ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3441}TIKA-3441}}).

	 * Deprecate experimental PDFPreflightParser ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3437}TIKA-3437}}).

	 * Apply encoding detection to zip entry names via Ryan421 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3374}TIKA-3374}}).

	 * Add json output for /tika endpoint in tika-server ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3352}TIKA-3352}}).
