\input{recent-changes}
+\rcSect[8.1]{Version 8.1 (June 2015)}
+
+\rcSubsect{New plugins and significant new features}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Integration of the Stanford NER tools -- all the Stanford tools in GATE
+ have been brought together under a single \texttt{Stanford\_CoreNLP} plugin.
+\item Improved crowdsourcing tools (chapter~\ref{chap:crowd}), including tools
+ to perform automatic adjudication of multiply-annotated documents.
+\item Parsers for new document formats, including the \emph{DataSift} format
+ (section~\ref{sec:creole:datasift}) for social media data, and an improved
+ Twitter JSON parser (section~\ref{sec:social:twitter:format}) which can
import
+ the standoff annotations Twitter themselves provide (hashtags, etc.).
+\item Improved support for data \emph{export}, making it easy for plugins to
+ add their own export formats accessible through the GUI and the API. New
+ exporters are provided for the Twitter JSON format
+ (section~\ref{sec:social:twitter:export}) and a more configurable inline
+ XML format.
+\item A new plugin for simplifying sentences using linguistic rules and other
+ information (section~\ref{sec:misc-creole:linguistic-simplifier}),
contributed
+ by the \htlink{https://www.forgetit-project.eu}{ForgetIT project}.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\rcSubsect{Library updates and bugfixes}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Apache Tika (for parsing PDF, MS Word, etc.) updated to version 1.7.
+\item ASM (for processing CREOLE metadata) updated to version 5.0.3. This
+ allows the use of Java 8 language features such as lambdas in third-party
+ plugins, though GATE itself remains compatible with Java 7.
+\item Stanford CoreNLP tools updated to version 3.4 (the latest version
+ that is compatible with Java 7).
+\item MetaMap libraries (for UMLS) updated to version 2014.
+\item Better support in the GATE Unicode Tokeniser for scripts that use
+ supplementary characters beyond the basic 16 bit range.
+\item Bugfixes in the segment processing PR.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\rcSubsect{Tools for developers}
+
+Three new tools have been added to the \verb!Developer_Tools! plugin:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Menu options to produce Java heap dumps to aid debugging.
+\item Menu option to dynamically increase the Log4J logging verbosity
+ at runtime.
+\item A tool that attempts to unload all plugins that are loaded but not
+ currently in use.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Other changes that benefit developers include:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item New helper methods in the \verb!gate.Utils! class.
+\item The \verb!gate.util.ProcessManager! API has been extended to allow an
+ external process to be kept running. This is especially useful for running
+ some external tools which have very long starup times yet can be reused
+ across documents.
+\item Some changes in the management of classloaders that should reduce the
+ potential for deadlocks.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\ldots and as always, a range of smaller improvements and bug fixes.
