Tika 1.9:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/tika/CHANGES-1.9.txt

• The ability to use the cTAKES clinical text
  knowledge extraction system for biomedical data is
  now included as a Tika parser (TIKA-1645, TIKA-1642).

  from the command line (TIKA-1652, TIKA-1426).

  (TIKA-1639).

  usable Parser in Tika now (TIKA-1510).

  it functional (TIKA-1638).

• Tika service loading can now be more verbose with the
  org.apache.tika.service.error.warn system property (TIKA-1636).

• Tika Server now allows for metadata extraction from remote
  URLs and in addition it outputs the detected language as a
  metadata field (TIKA-1625).

  contributed by Pascal Essiembre (TIKA-1620).
