Apache Tika Change Log ====================== 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.
