Apache Tika 1.19

	 The most notable changes in Tika 1.19 over the previous release are:

	 * Require Java 8 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2679}TIKA-2679}}).

	 * Enable building with Java 11 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2668}TIKA-2668}})

	 * Add an option to make tika-server robust against infinite loops, OOMs, and memory leaks ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2725}TIKA-2725}}).

	 * Allow configuration of the Tesseract parser via the standard tika-config.xml options ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2705}TIKA-2705}}).

	 * Improve handling of empty cells across table-based formats ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2479}TIKA-2479}}).

	 * Add a Standards compliant HTML encoding detector via Gerard Bouchar ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2673}TIKA-2673}}).

	 * Improved XML parsing -- limited default entity expansions to 20. To raise this limit, add -Djdk.xml.entityExpansionLimit=XXX to your commandline.

	 * Mime magic improvements for Olympus RAW ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2658}TIKA-2658}}), interpreted server-side languages via HTTP ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2648}TIKA-2648}}), MHTML ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2723}TIKA-2723}})

	 * Add absolute timeout to ForkParser rather than testing for active ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2656}TIKA-2656}}).

	 * Make the RecursiveParserWrapper work with the ForkParser ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2655}TIKA-2655}}).

	 * Allow the ForkParser to specify a directory containing tika-app.jar for use by the ForkServer.  This allows users to keep most of the parser dependencies out of their code; and it allows for an easy addition of optional jars for Parser dependencies, such as the xerial sqlite jar ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2653}TIKA-2653}}).

	 * Use a pool for SAXParsers and DOMBuilders rather than creatinga new parser/builder for every parse. For better performance, set XMLReaderUtils.setPoolSize() to the number of threads you're using with Tika ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2645}TIKA-2645}}).

	 * Add the RecursiveParserWrapperHandler to improve the RecursiveParserWrapperAPI slightly ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2644}TIKA-2644}}).

	 * Upgraded to Commons-Compress 1.18 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2707}TIKA-2707}}).

	 * Upgraded to Apache POI 4.0.0 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2552}TIKA-2552}}).

	 * Upgraded to Apache PDFBox 2.0.11 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2681}TIKA-2681}}).

	 * Upgraded to deeplearning4j 1.0.0-beta2 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2672}TIKA-2672}}).

	 * Upgraded jmatio to 1.4 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2667}TIKA-2667}})

	 * Upgraded Apache Lucene to 7.4.0 in tika-eval and tika-examples ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2695}TIKA-2695}}).

	 * Upgraded junrar to 1.0.1 ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2664}TIKA-2664}}).

	 * Numerous other upgrades ({{{http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2692}TIKA-2692}}).

	 * Excluded Spring as a transitive dependency (TIKA-2721).
