+
+This is a minor release that fixes one rarely encountered but serious bug with
+the handling of CDATA sections within the text content of GATE XML format
+documents.  CDATA has always been handled correctly in annotation and document
+feature values, this bug would only affect a small number of documents where
+the text contains many less-than signs (\verb!<<<!) \emph{and} few annotations.
+In particular, \emph{annotated} documents that have been processed using the
+GATE tokeniser are extremely unlikely to be affected as each less-than sign is
+treated as a separate \texttt{Token} annotation.
+
+This release also includes one small improvement to the Twitter hashtag
+tokeniser so it recognises the names of some political parties when they occur
+within hashtags such as \verb!#VoteLabour!.
