+
+GATE Developer and Embedded 8.2 is mainly a bug fix release -- there are a few
+new plugins but the emphasis is on bug fixing and library updates.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item New tools for temporal expression and event detection, including a
wrapper
+ for the HeidelTime tagger (section~\ref{sec:misc-creole:gate-time}).
+\item New language plugins for Danish and Welsh named entitiy recognition.
+\item Performance improvements in the ANNIE NER system, in particular to deal
+ better with hyphenated names and titles.
+\item Improvements to TermRaider to support GATE documents that contain many
+ independent sections (e.g. web forums, lists of tweets).
+\item Bug fixes in the handling of Twitter JSON data -- GATE now has full
+ round-trip support for Twitter JSON, tweets can be loaded, annotated, and
+ saved back to the same format accurately. The JSON format parser has been
+ separated from the rest of the Twitter plugin, making it easier to add JSON
+ support to non-TwitIE applications.
+\item Updated dependencies -- the \verb!Stanford_CoreNLP! plugin now uses
+ version 3.6.0 of Stanford CoreNLP, and the Groovy plugin uses Groovy version
+ 2.4.4
+\item GCP input and output handlers added to the \verb!Format_CSV! plugin.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Plus the usual suite of miscellaneous smaller bug fixes.
+
+\rcSubsect{Java compatibility}
+
+For GATE 8.2 we recommend the use of the latest Java 8 from Oracle. If you are
+still restricted to Java 7, most components will still work with the exception
+of the Stanford CoreNLP tools. Future versions of GATE will require Java 8 as
+a minimum.
