The reports comparing 2.6.0 with 2.7.0-prerc1 are here:
https://corpora.tika.apache.org/base/reports/tika-2.6.0-vs-2.7.0-prerc1-reports.tgz
Some observations:
* Many fewer "common words" in svg files because they are now
correctly identified as svg+xml files and getting parsed by the xml
parser. We're no longer treating these as text and including all the
tags. There are a couple of handfuls of "now svg" files that are
causing exceptions in the xml parser. Overall, I think this diff from
2.6.0 is good.
* Our change in the charset detector has some improvements and some
regressions. Overall, I still think we made the right call.
* Surprisingly, I don't see many diffs in the number of attachments in
rfc822 files. I thought there would be more.
I'll start the release process now. Please do take a look and let me
know if you see any issues. I'm happy to respin an rc2 if necessary.
Thank you, all!
Cheers,
Tim
