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 <div class="embedded" id="XXX"/> into the

(TIKA-712).
* MHTML: fixed Null charset name exception when a mime part has an
unrecognized charset (TIKA-1011).

certain JVMs this would incorrectly extract the BOM as the tag's
value (TIKA-1024).

now left in the XHTML so you can see where each archive member
appears (TIKA-1036). TikaCLI would hit FileNotFoundException when

archive, because it failed to create the parent directories first
(TIKA-1031).

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).

--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 </p> 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
