Hi all,

our second release candidate is ready for testing.

It can be downloaded from here:
http://people.apache.org/~joern/releases/opennlp-1.5.2-incubating/rc2/

To use it in a maven build set the version for opennlp-tools or opennlp-uima
to 1.5.2, and for opennlp-maxent to 3.0.2, and add this URL to your settings.xml
file:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheopennlp-006/

The RC 1 staging repository is dropped now.

The current test plan can be found here:

The RC contains the following improvements compared to RC 1:
- OPENNLP-286 Write a test for the POSDictionary to test the case sensitive/insensitive flag - OPENNLP-288 Loading a tag dictionary in the old format does not work with case insensitive
- OPENNLP-297    Add more descriptive documentation on the Span class
- OPENNLP-301    UIMA descriptors still use old IBM Watson name space
- OPENNLP-298 Span.contains(index) reports a value equal to end as being part of the span.
- OPENNLP-294    Name Finder Evaluator does not clear adaptive data
- OPENNLP-295 Sentence Detectors sent span array and probability array does not match - OPENNLP-293 Deprecate Dictionary constructor that takes InputStream and case sensitivity as argument - OPENNLP-292 Remove CL argument specifying if abbreviation dictionary is case sensitive from SentenceDetector and Tokenizer training tools
- OPENNLP-291    DetailedF listener not working for TokenNameFinder
- OPENNLP-289 TokenNameFinderEvaluatorTool and ChunkerEvaluatorTool are not printing usage correctly - OPENNLP-241 Model validations is only performed if instatiated from Input Stream.
- OPENNLP-245    Improve Dictionary Testing
- OPENNLP-258 Refactor cross validation and training code to always use the new Training Parameters object - OPENNLP-200 Addition of prepositional phrase attachment dataset and unit test for it
- OPENNLP-280    Leipzig corpora links seem to be broken
- OPENNLP-279    CONLL03 documation link to LDC should be a html link
- OPENNLP-278    Link to Arvores Deitadas in documentation is broken

Most of these issues should not affect the performance of our taggers, an exception is OPENNLP-294 which
now clears the adaptive data of the name finder correctly during evaluation.
