Subject: [VOTE] Apache OpenNLP 3.0.0-M6 RC1 Hi folks,
I have posted a first release candidate for the Apache OpenNLP 3.0.0-M6 release and it is ready for testing. This milestone adds a pure-Java SentencePiece inference API that preserves exact original-text spans (OPENNLP-1885), a document annotation container with typed, offset-anchored layers (OPENNLP-1888) together with a document-scoped term vector layer (OPENNLP-1897), dictionary-based tokenization for Japanese, Korean and Chinese (OPENNLP-1894), and support for Hunspell affix dictionaries for stemming (OPENNLP-1893). A large part of this candidate is about correctness and robustness. Default-locale case folding no longer corrupts lemmatizer models and output or breaks Morfologik dictionary lookup (OPENNLP-1904, OPENNLP-1905), the EMAIL and URL patterns in RegexNameFinderFactory can no longer exhaust the stack (OPENNLP-1922), SymSpell model deserialization is hardened against oversized count fields (OPENNLP-1899), cached models are verified against their SHA-512 checksum (OPENNLP-1902), and there is now a general verified installer for user-supplied third-party resources (OPENNLP-1909). The OpenNLP security model is documented and published (OPENNLP-1900). On the performance side, BeamSearch replaces per-candidate Sequence copies with chain nodes (OPENNLP-1903), and the sentence detector's abbreviation veto is no longer quadratic in document length (OPENNLP-1906). There is also a new Paragraph Normalizer for Gutenberg-style and Markdown text (OPENNLP-1921), and ONNX Runtime moves to 1.28.0. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release, including all of our users and the people who submitted bug reports, contributed code or documentation enhancements.
