Apache Tika 0.5

   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.
        ({{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-309}TIKA-309}})

      * An org.apache.tika.Tika facade class has been added to simplify
        common text extraction and type detection use cases.
        ({{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-269}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.
        ({{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-275}TIKA-275}})

      * A simple ngram-based language detection mechanism has been added
        along with predefined language profiles for 18 languages.
        ({{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-209}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.
        ({{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-285}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.
        ({{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-158}TIKA-158}})
