"Dutch" (`nl`) is still the default. nl-BE-specific rules can be added to `nl-BE/grammar.xml` #### English * added and improved rules * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.91 - 2020-12-01) #### German * added and improved rules #### French * added and improved rules * updated spell checker and POS dictionary (unified in one dictionary) to lexique-grammalecte 7-0 (source: https://grammalecte.net/download.php?prj=fr), as an external dependency (source: https://github.com/languagetool-org/french-pos-dict) #### Portuguese * added and improved rules * added words and POS data * fixed tons of false positives #### Russian * added and improved rules * added new words and POS data for it * improved suggestions algorithms for spellchecking #### Spanish * added and improved rules * updated dictionary (spanish-pos-dict-0.9) #### Ukrainian * over 7000 new words in the POS dictionary * added and improved rules * improved tagging and disambiguation #### General * There's now `RegexAntiPatternFilter` which can be used to have antipatterns for `<regexp>` rules. Use like this: ``` <regexp>my regex</regexp> <filter class="org.languagetool.rules.patterns.RegexAntiPatternFilter" args="antipatterns:regex1|regex2"/> ``` Note that the regex after `antipatterns:` cannot contain spaces. * German, French, Dutch, and Spanish have ngram-based false friends for some time already, meaning that a German/Dutch/... native speaker will get an error if (probably) using and English word incorrectly in an English text. The change in this version is that for all other language pairs that also have false friends, these rules are now active only in picky mode (`--level PICKY` on the command line, `level=picky` with the HTTP API.) ## 5.1.3 (released 2020-10-15) #### LibreOffice / Apache OpenOffice Integration * fixed https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/3666 ("... not a language code known to LanguageTool") ## 5.1.2 (released 2020-10-05) #### LibreOffice / Apache OpenOffice Integration * fixed https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/3638, https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/3652, and https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/3575 ## 5.1.1 (released 2020-09-29) #### LibreOffice / Apache OpenOffice Integration * fixed a NullPointerException crash in the LibreOffice/OpenOffice add-on ## 5.1 (released 2020-09-25) #### Catalan * added and improved rules #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.88 - 2020-09-01) #### French * added and improved rules #### German * Updated the German part-of-speech dictionary (https://github.com/languagetool-org/german-pos-dict) to version 1.2.2. * each pair of `ProhibitedCompoundRule` has its own ID now, so it can be separately turned on/off * added and improved rules #### Italian * small rule improvements #### Portuguese * added and improved rules * added words and POS data * fixed tons of false positives #### Russian * added and improved rules #### Spanish * added and improved rules #### Ukrainian * dictionary update * many new punctuation rules * many new styling rules * tokenization and tagging improvements * disambiguation improvements #### General * each pair of `ConfusionProbabilityRule` has its own ID now, so it can be separately turned on/off * new XML attribute `chunk_re` for `<token>`, which specifies a chunk as a regular expression ## 5.0.2 (2020-08-28) * (languagetool-core only) merged https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/pull/3491 and https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/pull/3487 ## 5.0 (2020-06-27) #### Arabic * added and improved rules * updated POS dictionary (Arramooz [#e33794e](https://github.com/linuxscout/arramooz/commit/e33794e787d56e7c185c0e281fd8e6d6274f3fdc)) * remove the Algerian variant (ar-DZ) * add support of ngram data ([languagetool-tools-ar](https://github.com/sohaibafifi/languagetool-tools-ar)) * add Darja, Diacritics, Redundancy, WrongWordInContext, Wordiness, Homophones and WordCoherency rules. #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary (catalan-pos-dict-2.10) #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.85 - 2020-06-01) #### Esperanto * added and improved rules #### French * added and improved rules #### German * added and improved rules * rules that apply to de-DE and de-AT (but not de-CH) can now be placed in `de/de-DE-AT/grammar.xml` * Updated the German part-of-speech dictionary (https://github.com/languagetool-org/german-pos-dict) to version 1.2.1. * Special chars `_` and `/` can now be escaped in `spelling.txt` and `spelling_custom.txt` using the backslash. For example, `foo\/s` will add `foo/s` to the dictionary. #### Persian * commented out rules that caused many false alarms #### Portuguese * added and improved rules * added words and POS data * fixed tons of false positives #### Russian * added and improved rules * added new Java rules * rebuilt and improved main spellchecker dictionary, added many new words * new variant (only yo "ё") spellchecker dictionary and new java rule for it (set off by default) * new `filter` arguments: `prefix` and `suffix` to be used for matching the part-of-speech of parts of words with prefix and suffix added to original token, e.g.: ```xml <filter class="org.languagetool.rules.ru.RussianPartialPosTagFilter" args="no:2 regexp:(.*) postag_regexp:(ADV) prefix:не suffix: "/> ``` #### Slovak * commented out rules that caused many false alarms #### Spanish * added and improved rules * new tagger dictionary by Jaume Ortolà, LGPL, source: https://github.com/jaumeortola/spanish-dict-tools * the spelling rule is enabled in LibreOffice using the tagger dictionary (no other spelling dictionary is needed) #### Ukrainian * dictionary update, including many rare and slang words * new rules * tokenization and tagging improvements * disambiguation improvements #### General * added `replace_custom.txt` for several languages so users can have their own very simple replace rules without worrying about updates (they still need to copy the file to the new LT version, though). * Updated dependency `com.gitlab.dumonts:hunspell` to 1.1.1 to make spell checking work on older Linux distributions like RHEL 7. ## 4.9 (2020-03-24) #### Arabic * Added initial support for Arabic, contributed by Sohaib Afifi (https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/pull/2219) #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary (catalan-pos-dict-2.7) #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules * added new part-of-speech tag `ORD` for ordinal numbers (e.g., first, second, twenty-third etc.) * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.82 - 2020-03-01) #### French * improved rules #### German * added and improved rules * `compounds.txt` now automatically expands `ß` to `ss` when using German (Switzerland) * German `spelling.txt` now supports `prefix_verb` syntax like `vorüber_eilen` so the speller will accept all forms of "eilen" prefixed by "vorüber" #### Irish * Added initial support for Irish, contributed by Jim Regan (https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/pull/2260) #### Portuguese * added and improved rules * added words and POS data #### Russian * small improvements #### Ukrainian * dictionary update * new rules * tokenization and tagging improvements ## 4.8 (released 2019-12-27) #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary (catalan-pos-dict-2.6) #### Chinese * Now using https://github.com/hankcs/HanLP for tokenization (PR 1981) #### Danish * corrections are now offered for spell check errors * updated spell checker to version 2.4 (2018-04-15) (source: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/stavekontrolden-danish-dictionary) #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.79 - 2019-12-01) * updated en_US spellchecker dictionary from http://wordlist.aspell.net (Version 2019.10.06) * updated en_CA spellchecker dictionary from http://wordlist.aspell.net (Version 2019.10.06) * updated en_AU spellchecker dictionary from http://wordlist.aspell.net (Version 2019.10.06) #### Esperanto * corrections are now offered for spell check errors #### French * improved rules * updated spell checker (Grammalecte·dic/Dicollecte) to version 6.4.1 (2019-04-05) (source: https://grammalecte.net/download.php?prj=fr) * updated part-of-speech dictionaries to dicollecte-6.4.1 (https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/pull/1963) #### German * added and improved rules #### Greek * updated spelling dictionary to el_GR 0.9 (14/03/2019), by George Zougianos #### Khmer * updated spell checker to version 1.82 (2015-10-23) (source: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/khmer-spelling-checker-sbbic-version) #### Portuguese * added and improved rules * added words and POS data #### Russian * added new words * improve java rule #### Swedish * updated spelling dictionary to version 2.42 (Released Feb 03, 2019) (source: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/swedish-spelling-dictionary-den-stora-svenska-ordlistan) #### Ukrainian * dictionary update * new rules * tokenization improvements #### General * The unmaintained code from package `org.languagetool.dev.wikipedia.atom` has been removed. It hadn't been maintained for years and didn't work properly anymore. * `spelling_global.txt` has been added. Words or phrases added here will be accepted for all languages. * `prohibit_custom.txt` and `spelling_custom.txt` can be used to make your own additions to `spelling.txt` and `prohibit.txt` without having to edit those files after a LanguageTool update (you will still need to manually copy those files). Paths to these files (`xx` = language code): `./org/languagetool/resource/xx/hunspell/prohibit_custom.txt` `./org/languagetool/resource/xx/hunspell/spelling_custom.txt` Note that you can simply create these files if they don't exist for your language yet. #### HTTP API / LT server * The dynamic languages feature (`lang-xx=...` and `lang-xx-dictPath=...`) now also supports hunspell dictionaries. Just let `lang-xx-dictPath` point to the absolute path of the `.dic` file. Note that hunspell is quite slow when it comes to offering suggestions for misspelled words. #### Java API * `AbstractSimpleReplaceRule2` has been fixed so that it's now case-insensitive. If you implement a sub class of it and you want the old behavior, please implement `isCaseSensitive()` and have it return `true`. (Issue #2051) #### Internal * The internal hunspell has been updated from 1.3 to 1.7, now using https://gitlab.com/dumonts/hunspell-java as the project providing the bindings. For Portuguese, this speeds up generating suggestions for misspellings by a factor of about 3 (but it's still slow compared to Morfologik). 32-bit systems are not supported anymore (only affects languages like German and French). * Experimental: the new `default="temp_off"` attribute in `grammar.xml` files will turn off a rule/rulegroup, but keep it activated for our nightly regression tests. * Many external dependencies have been updated to new versions. ## 4.7 (2019-09-28) #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary (catalan-pos-dict-2.5) #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.76 - 2019-09-01) #### French * improved rules #### Galician * improved rules #### German * added and improved rules #### Italian * small rule improvements #### Portuguese * added rules and significantly improved accuracy * disambiguation improvements * POS and spelling improvements #### Russian * improved rules * added new words to spellchecker dictionary #### Spanish * added and improved rules #### Ukrainian * 2k of new words in the dictionary * improved tokenization * improved dynamic tagging * added and improved rules #### General * Spell suggestion improvements: for many cases of a misplaced space, the suggestions are now better. For example, "thef eedback" can now be corrected to "the feedback" in one step. (#1729) * The synthesizer now considers entries in `added.txt` and `removed.txt` (except for Catalan and Polish; for German removing compounds in `removed.txt` might not work) (#884) ## 4.6 (2019-06-26) #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary (catalan-pos-dict-2.4) with more health terminology #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules * introduced new part-of-speech tag `PCT` for punctuation marks (`.,;:…!?`) * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.73 - 2019-06-01) #### Esperanto * added and improved rules #### French * added and improved rules * Rule `FRENCH_WHITESPACE` has been split into `FRENCH_WHITESPACE` (on by default) and `FRENCH_WHITESPACE_STRICT` (off by default). `FRENCH_WHITESPACE` only complains if there's no space at all before `?`, `!`, `;`, `:`, or `»`. `FRENCH_WHITESPACE_STRICT` complains if there's no space or a common space instead of a non-breaking space before these characters. * added some popular names to dictionary #### Galician * added verbal agreement rules #### German * added and improved rules * The false friend rule has been modified to use ngrams: Now false friends cause error messages if they are used in a wrong context, according to ngram statistics. Note that some pairs from `false-friends.xml` are not supported anymore because their precision isn't good enough. See `confusion_sets_l2_de.txt` for active DE/EN pairs. Use `My handy is broken.` to test the rule. As before, this will only create an error if `motherTongue` is set to a German language code. * `prohibit.txt`: lines starting with `.*` will prohibit all words ending with the subsequent string (e.g., `.*artigel` will prohibit `Versandartigel`) #### Greek * added rules #### Italian * added popular names to dictionary #### Portuguese * POS and spelling improvements #### Russian * added and improved rules * added new words to spell dictionary #### Spanish * updated spell dictionary from 2.1 to 2.4 #### Ukrainian * support for new spelling rules from 2019 * thousands of new words in the dictionary * many rule improvements * tokenization and tagging improvements #### HTTP API / LT server * `altLanguages` will only be considered for words with >= 3 characters * Cleaned up error handling: invalid parameters will now return an HTTP error 400 instead of 500. ## 4.5.1 (2019-03-28) #### LibreOffice / Apache OpenOffice Integration * Fixed a bug that caused the rules in the options dialog to not appear in the text language ## 4.5 (2019-03-26) #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary (catalan-pos-dict-2.3) with health terminology #### English * `resource/en/en-US-GB.txt` contains a mapping from US to British English and vice versa. It's not used to detect correct or incorrect spellings, but only to improve error messages so that they explicitly explain that the incorrect word is actually a different variant (like 'colour' in an en-US text). * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.70 - 2019-03-01) * spell check ignores single characters (e.g., 'α') #### Galician * added and improved rules * disambiguation improvements * foreign names recognition #### German * added and improved rules * Simple German: added and improved rules * improved suggestions for typos that end with a dot (typically at the end of the sentence) - the dot is not included anymore * spell check ignores single characters (e.g., 'α') and hyphenated compounds (e.g., 'α-Strahler') #### Portuguese * added and significantly improved rules accuracy * disambiguation improvements - Chinese common names are now detected * POS and spelling improvements * updated Hunspell dictionaries to: - [pt-PT pos-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 3.1 #### Russian * added and improved rules * disambiguation improvements * added many words without "yo" letter to POS dictionary * added new words to spell dictionary #### Ukrainian * dictionary update * added and improved rules * improvements to tokenization, tagging, and disambiguation #### General * URLs written like `mydomain.org/` are now detected as domains and not considered spelling errors anymore. Note that the slash is still needed to avoid missing real errors. * JSON output: The `replacements` list now has an optional new item `shortDescription` for each `value`. It can contain a short definition/hint about the word. Currently, the only words that have a short description are ones that have a description in `confusion_sets.txt` (i.e. a text after the `|` symbol). #### General * bug fix: don't make `interpretAs` part of getTextWithMarkup() (#1393) * Experimental new attribute `raw_pos` for the `<pattern>` element in `grammar.xml`. If set to `yes`, the `postag` will refer to the part-of-speech tags *before* disambiguation. * Experimental support for `<antipattern>` in `disambiguation.xml` #### HTTP API / LT server * Experimental new parameter `preferredLanguages`: up to a certain limit (currently 50 characters), only these languages will be considered for language detection. This has to be a comma-delimited list of language codes without variants (e.g. use 'en', not 'en-US'). This only works with fasttext configured as the language detector. * Spellcheck-only languages can now be added dynamically from the configuration using `lang-xx=languagename` and `lang-xx-dictPath=/path/to/morfologik.dict`. `xx` needs to be the language code. The JSON result will contain `spellCheckOnly: true` for these languages. ## 4.4.1 (2019-01-14) * Fixed a bug that prevented opening the Options dialog in LibreOffice/OpenOffice ## 4.4 (2018-12-27) #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary #### Dutch * added and improved rules, including more confusion rules for dyslectic people * added large amount of family names to reduce false alarms in spelling #### English * added and improved rules * segmentation improvements * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2.67 - 2018-12-01) * added rules for 'Oxford spelling' (applicable to British English only) ##### French * small rule improvements #### German * added and improved rules * Swiss German: improved POS tagging of words that contain 'ß' in de-DE German (e.g., 'gross' is tagged as 'gross[groß/ADJ:PRD:GRU]'); (#1147) * Simple German: added and improved rules; restructured grammar.xml #### Portuguese * added and improved rules * disambiguation improvements * POS and spelling improvements #### Russian * added and improved rules * disambiguation improvements * POS and spelling dictionary improvements #### Serbian * Serbian never moved beyond its "initial support" state with a tiny number of rules, and it has no active maintainer, so we have deactivated it for now. If you'd like to maintain support for Serbian, let us know in the forum (https://forum.languagetool.org). Once it's clear that a new active long-term maintainer has been found, we'll activate support for Serbian again. #### Ukrainian * dictionary update (about 7k of new words) * added and improved rules * improvements to tokenization, tagging, and disambiguation #### HTTP API / LT server * Experimental support for `altLanguages` parameter: takes a list of language codes. Unknown words of the main languages (as specified by the `language` parameter) will cause errors of type "Hint" if accepted by one of these languages. We expect clients to interpret this like style issues, e.g. these words should be underlined with a light blue instead of red. Support for this is experimental, i.e. it might be removed again or implemented in a different way. * Experimental support for `noopLanguages` parameter: takes a list of language codes of languages that are not supported by LT but that will be detected and mapped to a no-op language without rules. Useful for clients that rely on language auto-detection and whose users might use languages not supported by LT. NOTE 1: only works with fastText configured NOTE 2: setting languages here will worsen language detection quality on average * Change to language detection behavior: Removed fallback to English when confidence of detection algorithm is low, instead now always returning highest scoring detected language. Added a field `confidence` to `detectedLanguage` object in the JSON response that contains the probability score for the detected language as computed by the detection algorithm. ## 4.3 (2018-09-26) #### Catalan * added and improved rules #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules ##### Esperanto * added and improved rules ##### French * small rule improvements #### Galician * added and improved rules #### German * added and improved rules #### German (simple) * added and improved rules #### Portuguese * added and improved rules * improvements to disambiguation, and segmentation * updated Hunspell dictionaries to: - [pt-PT pos-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 3.0 #### Russian * added and improved rules #### Ukrainian * added and improved rules #### General * Prepared support for AIX. See https://github.com/MartinKallinger/hunspell-aix for the required libraries * Email signatures are now ignored for language detection as long as they are separated from the main text with `\n-- \n` #### HTTP API / LT server * The server can now accept JSON as the `data` parameter that describes markup. For example: ``` {"annotation":[ {"text": "A "}, {"markup": "<b>"}, {"text": "test"}, {"markup": "</b>"} ]} ``` With this input, LT will ignore the `markup` parts and run the check only on the `text` parts. The error offset positions will still refer to the original input including the markup, so that suggestions can easily be applied. You can optionally use `interpretAs` to have markup interpreted as whitespace, like this: ``` {"markup": "<p>", "interpretAs": "\n\n"} ``` Note that HTML entities (including `&nbsp;`) still need to be converted to Unicode characters before feeding them into LT. (Issue: https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/757) * The `blockedReferrers` setting now also considers the `Origin` header * A `blockedReferrers` setting of `foobar.org` will now automatically match `http://foobar.org`, `http://www.foobar.org`, `https://foobar.org`, and `https://www.foobar.org` * New setting `fasttextModel` (see https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/language-identification.html) and `fasttextBinary` (see https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/support.html). With these options set, the automatic language detection is much better than the built-in one. * Experimental new `mode` parameter with `all`, `textLevelOnly`, or `allButTextLevelOnly` as value: Will check only text-level rules or all other rules. As there are fewer text-level rules, this is usually much faster and the access limit for characters per minute that can be checked is more generous for this mode. * Improved spellchecker suggestions (not yet enabled by default). See https://forum.languagetool.org/t/gsoc-reports-spellchecker-server-side-framework-and-build-tool-tasks/2926/43 * Experimental new `type` in JSON. This is supposed to help clients choose the color with which they underline/mark errors. Please do not rely on this yet, it might change or even be removed. ## 4.2 (2018-06-26) #### Breton * made many messages shorter * updated FSA spelling dictionary from An Drouizig Breton Spellchecker 0.15 #### Catalan * added and improved rules * rules and updated dictionary for new diacritics rules (IEC 2017) #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict (Version 2018-06-01) * updated en_US spellchecker dictionary from http://wordlist.aspell.net (Version 2018.04.16) * updated en_CA spellchecker dictionary from http://wordlist.aspell.net (Version 2018.04.16) #### Esperanto * added and improved rules #### German * added and improved rules * updated jwordsplitter to 4.4 to prevent excessively long processing times for artificially long compounds * `prohibit.txt`: lines ending with ".*" will prohibit all words starting with the previous string #### German (simple) * added and improved rules #### Greek * added rules #### Portuguese * added and improved rules #### Russian * added and improved grammar and punctuation rules * upgraded the tagging and synthesizer dictionaries from AOT.ru rev.269 (extend tags, add missing tags) * spelling dictionary update #### Spanish * added and improved a few rules #### Ukrainian * dictionary update (more than 15k of new words) * added and improved rules * some improvements to tokenization, tagging and disambiguation #### HTTP API / LT server * The JSON contains a new section `detectedLanguage` (under `language`) that contains information about the automatically detected language. This way clients can suggest switching to that language, e.g. in cases where the user had selected the wrong language. * New optional configuration setting `blockedReferrers`: a comma-separated list of HTTP referrers that are blocked and will not be served * BETA: New optional configuration settings `dbDriver`, `dbUrl`, `dbUsername`, `dbPassword` to allow user-specific dictionaries #### Java API * The parameters of the `*SpellerRule` classes (e.g. `MorfologikRussianSpellerRule`) have changed * `LanguageIdentifier` will now only consider the first 1000 characters when identifying the language of a text. This improves performance for long texts. ## 4.1 (2018-03-27) #### Catalan * added and improved rules #### Chinese * added some rules #### Dutch * added and improved rules * added new Java rule `NL_PREFERRED_WORD_RULE` that suggests preferred words (e.g., 'fiets' for 'rijwiel') #### English * all-uppercase words are now also spellchecked * added and improved rules * added remaining collocation rules (~130) contributed by Nicholas Walker (Bokomaru) #### Esperanto * words written with x-sistemo now get proper POS tag so grammar mistakes can now be found in: ambaux virino (->ambaux virinoj), mi farigxis maljunan (-> mi farigxis maljuna), etc. * added and improved rules * added many `<url>` to rules #### French * improved suggestion for spelling mistakes (#912) #### Galician * added a couple of rules #### German * added and improved rules * New rule that checks coherent use of Du/du, Dich/dich etc. Assumes that the first use has 'correct' capitalization and suggests the same capitalization for subsequent uses. * New line extension `-*` for `ignore.txt`: entries ending with `-*` are ignored only if they are part of a hyphenated compound (e.g, `Fair-Trade-*` allows `Fair-Trade-Kakao`) * Added a new rule that tries to find compounds that are probably not correct, like `Lehrzeile` instead of `Leerzeile`, requires ngram data (rule id `DE_PROHIBITED_COMPOUNDS`) #### German (simple) * added and improved rules #### Portuguese * added and improved rules #### Russian * sentence segmentation improvements * added and improved rules * upgraded the tagging and synthesizer dictionaries with extended POS tags from AOT.ru rev.269 #### Spanish * update to the part-of-speech dictionary #### Ukrainian * dictionary update (~5K new lemmas) * compound word tagging improvements * many new disambiguation rules * several new barbarism and grammar rules #### HTTP API / LT server * The server now returns HTTP error code 500 in case of a timeout (it used to return 503) #### Java API * Constructors that take a `ResultCache` have been removed from `MultiThreadedJLanguageTool` as using them caused incorrect results. (https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/897) ## 4.0 (2017-12-29) #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated and renamed dictionary: ca-ES.dict (external dependency: catalan-pos-dict 1.6) * added new dictionary for Valencian including most words from Diccionari Normatiu Valencià (AVL): ca-ES-valencia.dict (external dependency: catalan-pos-dict 1.6) #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules * removed the category `MISC` and moved the rules to more specific categories * added WordCoherencyRule, to detect cases where two different variants of a word are used in the same text (e.g. archaeology and archeology) * added approximately 70 collocation rules contributed by Nicholas Walker (Bokomaru) * added support for locale-specific spelling suggestions (locale-specific spelling_en-XY.txt files) * updated en_GB spellchecker dictionary from https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict * updated en_US spellchecker dictionary from http://wordlist.aspell.net (Version 2017.08.24) * updated en_CA spellchecker dictionary from http://wordlist.aspell.net (Version 2017.08.24) #### French * LT now offers suggestions for spelling errors #### Galician * added and improved rules, including: - grammar: agreement rules added (only number and gender agreement) - common normative errors: includes Castilianisms, Lusitanianisms, Hipergalicisms, archaisms and Anglicisms correction - style: barbarism, redundant expressions, and wordy expressions detection added - typography: spacing and number formatting improvements; chemical formulas; degree signs; dashes; punctuation; international system standards; and mathematical symbol formatting * development, punctuation and repetition rules categories added * multiword disambiguation added * disambiguation improvements * new word tokenizer * significant POS tagging and synthesizing improvements * spellchecking exceptions for: - abbreviations; - variables in formulas, units, and related statistical vocabulary; - common Latin, English and French expressions; - species scientific names; - famous personalities * updated Hunspell dictionaries to: - [gl-ES] Version 12.10 "Xoán Manuel Pintos" #### German * added and improved rules * New rule that checks coherency of hyphen usage in compounds, e.g. it complains when "Ärzteverband" and "Ärzte-Verband" are both used in the same text. While both spellings are correct, it's probably a good idea to stick to one spelling. * improved POS tagging of hyphenated compounds (e.g., "CO2-arm" is recognized as a variant of "arm") #### Polish * added rules * disambiguation improvements #### Portuguese * added and improved rules * LibreOffice category rules moved to other categories * disambiguation improvements * updated Hunspell dictionaries to: - [pt-PT pos-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 2.2 - [pt-AO pre-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 2.2 - [pt-MZ pre-AO] Dicionários Natura 14.08.2017 #### Russian * added and improved grammar and punctuation rules * spelling dictionary update * new Russian-English false friends added (thanks to ZakShaker) #### Serbian * initial support for Serbian by Zoltán Csala #### Ukrainian * big dictionary update (~10K new lemmas) * improvements in tokenization * compound word tagging improvements * more than 350 new disambiguation rules * several new barbarism and grammar rules #### General * Now runs with Java 9 (compilation with Maven still has issues with Java9) * The spell checker tries harder to find suggestion for misspellings that have a Levenshtein distance of larger than 2. The maximum Levenshtein distance is now 3. This way you now get a suggestion for e.g. `algortherm` (algorithm) or `theromator` (thermometer). In the worst case (every single word of a text misspelled), this has a performance penalty of about 30%. * Better support for Unicode codepoints greater than `0xFFFF` ### word2vec * word2vec word embeddings (cf. http://colah.github.io/posts/2014-07-NLP-RNNs-Representations/#word-embeddings) are now supported as additional language models and currently available for English, German, and Portuguese. * Neural network based rules for confusion pair disambiguation using the word2vec model are available for English, German, and Portuguese. The necessary data must be downloaded separately from https://languagetool.org/download/word2vec/. For details, please see: * Code: https://github.com/gulp21/languagetool-neural-network * Forum discussion: https://forum.languagetool.org/t/neural-network-rules/2225 * Paper: "Development of neural network based rules for confusion set disambiguation in LanguageTool" by Markus Brenneis and Sebastian Krings: https://fscs.hhu.de/languagetool/summary.pdf #### GUI (stand-alone version) * show line numbers in the text area * a directory with word2vec language model for neural network rules can now be specified in the configuration dialog, see https://forum.languagetool.org/t/neural-network-rules/2225 * Stop disposition of vertical scroll when expanding the checkbox. #### Java API * A `RuleMatch` can now have a URL, too. The URL usually points to a page that describes the error or grammar rule in more detail. Before, only the `Rule` could have a URL. A `RuleMatch` URL will overwrite the `Rule` URL in the JSON output. * A `RuleMatch` now also has information about the sentence the error occurred in (it used to have only position information and the caller was expected to find the error context and/or sentence position in the original text). #### HTTP API / LT server * change in configuration: `requestLimit` and `requestLimitPeriodInSeconds` now both need to be set for the limit to work * new property key `timeoutRequestLimit`: similar to `requestLimit`, but this one limits not all requests but blocks once this many timeouts have been caused by the IP in the time span set by `requestLimitPeriodInSeconds` * new property key `requestLimitInBytes`: similar to `requestLimit`, but this one limits the aggregated size of requests caused by an IP in the time span set by `requestLimitPeriodInSeconds` * New property key `maxErrorsPerWordRate`: set the maximum allowed errors per word, e.g. `0.3` if the maximum is about one error per three words. More errors will stop the check with an exception. This is useful so no processing time gets wasted for texts with a huge amount of errors that are only caused by the wrong language being selected (leading to most words being detected as spelling errors). * The JSON output now contains a `sentence` property with the text of the sentence the error occurred in. ## 3.9 (2017-09-26) #### Breton * small rule improvements #### Catalan * added and improved rules #### Dutch * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules #### Esperanto * added and improved rules #### French * added and improved rules * upgraded dictionaries to Dicollecte-6.1 #### German * added and improved rules * spell checker suggestions have been improved a lot by considering more words, especially compounds (de-DE only so far, not yet active for de-AT and de-CH) (https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/725) * added special dictionary extension files `spelling-de-AT.txt` and `spelling-de-CH.txt` for de-AT and de-CH that will be considered in addition to `spelling.txt` * updates according to "Amtliches Regelwerk der deutschen Rechtschreibung aktualisiert", 6/2017 (http://www.rechtschreibrat.com/DOX/rfdr_PM_2017-06-29_Aktualisierung_Regelwerk.pdf) * added POS tagging of alternative imperative forms such as "Geh" or "küss" (in addition to "Gehe"/"küsse") * introduced two new line endings ('?' and '$') for the data-file `compounds.txt`; these endings indicate that the mid-word parts of the compound need to be lower-cased (e.g., 'Geräte Wahl' -> 'Gerätewahl') #### Portuguese * added and improved grammar and style rules, including: - grammar: general agreement rules, pronominal collocations, paronyms and homophones detection improvements; time agreement rules added - punctuation: greetings and farewell punctuation - style: puffery, weasel words, weak expressions, and biased opinion words detection added (disabled by default) - syntax: new category; fragment detection improvements - typography: spacing, number, and mathematical symbol formatting improvements * disambiguation improvements * false friends added - Portuguese to Galician (16 new pairs) * significant POS tagging and synthesizing improvements * spellchecking exceptions for abbreviations, variables in formulas, units, and related statistical vocabulary * updated Hunspell dictionaries to: - [pt-PT pos-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 2.0 - [pt-AO pre-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 2.0 - [pt-MZ pre-AO] Dicionários Natura 15.06.2017 #### Russian * spelling dictionary update * added and improved some rules #### Spanish * added and improved some rules #### Ukrainian * significant dictionary update: - more than 60K of new words - some inflection adjustments * improved dynamic tagging for compound words * many new rules (barbarism, grammar, and spelling) * inflection agreement rule updates #### Java API * `AnnotatedText` (built via `AnnotatedTextBuilder`) can now contain document-level meta data. This might be used by rules in the future. ## 3.8 (2017-06-27) #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary and rules for official names of Valencian municipalities #### Chinese * added one rule #### Dutch * added many rules (by Ruud Baars) * spelling dictionary update #### English * added and improved rules #### German * added and improved rules * improved messages for old spelling variants, e.g. `Kuß` now suggests only `Kuss` and also has a message explaining the user that `Kuß` is an old spelling #### Polish * added rules * added some common typos #### Portuguese * added and improved grammar and style rules, including: - grammar: general agreement rules, contractions, pronominal collocations, compounding, and paronyms detection - style: wordy expressions detection added and significant redundant expressions detection improvements - punctuation: significant improvements - formal speech: archaims, cacophonies, childish language and slang detection added - typography: international system standards, number and mathematical symbol formatting - misspellings: foreign famous personalities common misspelings - AO90: identify words with changed spelling * disambiguation improvements * false friends support added - Portuguese to Catalan (26 new pairs) - Portuguese to Spanish (7 new pairs) * spell checking exceptions for common Latin, English, and French expressions, species scientific names, and famous personalities * updated Hunspell dictionaries to: - [pt-PT pos-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 1.4 - [pt-BR] VERO version 2.1.4 #### Russian * added and improved rules #### Slovak * major rule updates by Matúš Matula #### Ukrainian * Significant dictionary update: - thousands of new words - some inflection adjustments * Improved dynamic tagging for compound words * Many new rules (barbarism, grammar, and spelling) * New noun-verb agreement rule #### HTTP API * The deprecated AfterTheDeadline mode has been removed * The `apiVersion` property of the JSON output is now a number instead of a string (issue #712) #### Java API * Some deprecated methods and classes have been removed. #### Internal * `spelling.txt` allows multi-word entries: the words/tokens (separated by " ") of one line are converted to a `DisambiguationPatternRule` in which each word is a case-sensitive and non-inflected `PatternToken` (result: the entire multi-word entry is ignored by the spell checker) #### LT server * When running a LT server, the enabled/disabled rules loaded from a configuration file at the startup time will be the new default rules. Previously these rules were "forgotten" when a server query used the parameters for enabling and disabling rules. Now the rules from the query will be added to the rules from the configuration file. ## 3.7 (2017-03-27) #### Breton * small rule improvements #### Catalan * added and improved rules * updated dictionary #### English * added and improved rules #### French * improved rules * upgraded dictionaries to Dicollecte-6.0.2 #### German * added and improved rules * added some common Latin, French, and English phrases that will be ignored by the spell checker * updated Hunspell dictionary to version 2017.01.12: * https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/german-de-de-frami-dictionaries * https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/german-de-at-frami-dictionaries * https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/german-de-ch-frami-dictionaries #### Greek * added and improved rules #### Italian * added one rule #### Lithuanian, Malayalam, and Icelandic * Lithuanian, Malayalam, and Icelandic are not part of this release anymore. They still exist in the git repository and can be re-activated as soon as a new maintainer takes care of them. #### Portuguese * added and improved grammar and style rules, including: - grammar: general agreement rules, 'crase', pronomial colocations, impersonal verbs, fragment, and paronyms detection improvements - capitalization: AO90 and AO45 rules - style: repetitions and barbarism detection - typography: number formatting, chemical formulas, degrees signs, dash signs, and punctuation - semantics: wrong words in the context (22 confusion pairs), url validator and date checker improvements - registered brands category added - translation errors category added * false friends support added: - Portuguese to Spanish (186 new pairs) - Portuguese to English (156 new pairs) - Portuguese to French (78 new pairs) - Portuguese to German (16 new pairs) - Portuguese to Galician (9 new pairs) * spellchecking suggestions activated * updated Hunspell dictionary to: - [pt-PT pos-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 1.2 - [pt-AO pre-AO] Dicionários Portugueses Complementares 1.2 - [pt-MZ pre-AO] Dicionários Natura 18.02.2017 #### Russian * added and improved rules * updated tagger dictionary from AOT.ru rev.269 with extended POS tags #### Ukrainian * Significant dictionary update: - many new words - some inflection adjustments * Many new rules (barbarism, punctuations, and grammar) * Improved dynamic tagging for compound words #### LibreOffice / Apache OpenOffice Integration * Options dialog now uses system theme instead of Nimbus. #### Command-line * Added a `--languageModel` option to the embedded server, thanks to Michał Janik (issue #404) #### HTTP API * The 'AfterTheDeadline' mode has been deprecated and will be removed in the next version, unless users complain and present a valid use case. * The old XML-based API has been removed. The migration to the new JSON-based API is documented at https://languagetool.org/http-api/migration.php * Speed up with a cache for cases where the same sentences get checked again (e.g. due to a correction in a text that doesn't affect all sentences but causes the whole text to be re-checked) #### Java API * Some deprecated methods have been removed. * A new class `ResultCache` has been added to speed up the LT server * `EnglishRule`, `GermanRule`, `CatalanRule`, and `FrenchRule`are now deprecated. These are empty abstract classes that never had any real use. Rules that extend these classes will directly extend `Rule` or `TextLevelRule` in a future release. * All rules that work on the text level instead of the sentence level (e.g. word coherency) now extend `TextLevelRule` instead of `Rule` #### Internal * OpenNLP has been updated from 1.6.0 to 1.7.2 (only used for English) ## 3.6 (2016-12-28) #### Breton * small rule improvements #### Catalan * added and improved rules #### English * added and improved rules * added about 131 confusion pairs like woman/women (works only with ngram data, see http://wiki.languagetool.org/finding-errors-using-n-gram-data) * The American and Canadian English (en-US, en-CA) spelling dictionaries have been updated to the latest version from http://wordlist.aspell.net (2016.06.26) * The Australian English (en-AU) spelling dictionary has been updated to the latest version from http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/english-dictionaries (2016-03-14 according to that page) #### French * added and improved rules * upgraded dictionaries to Dicollecte-5.7 #### German * added and improved rules * added about 34 confusion pairs like ihm/im (works only with ngram data, see http://wiki.languagetool.org/finding-errors-using-n-gram-data) * bugfix regarding errors in the last word of a sentence (#273) * The internal part-of-speech dictionary has been updated with the help of Julian von Heyl of http://korrekturen.de - many entries have been fixed and added. The new data has its own Maven and git project now (https://github.com/languagetool-org/german-pos-dict) #### Lithuanian * The `Lithuanian` class has been deprecated. Lithuanian in LT hasn't been maintained for years and there's no new maintainer in sight. It has also very low usage on languagetool.org and very few error detection rules anyway, so we'll remove its support from LT in the next release. #### Malayalam * The `Malayalam` class has been deprecated. Malayalam in LT hasn't been maintained for years and there's no new maintainer in sight. It has also very low usage on languagetool.org and very few error detection rules anyway, so we'll remove its support from LT in the next release. #### Portuguese * general agreement rules added * number and gender words agreement * general subject-verb agreement * accentuated form confusion, 'dequeísmos' and many more * new compound form detection (pt-PT recognizes all compound verbal derivations) * duplications, redundancies, typography and semantics categories added * style category rules added * new word repetitions rules, fragment detection, verbosity checks, passive voice and many other * new sentence disambiguator and new word tokenizer * sentence segmentation improvements * former rules and messages revision, improvement and classification * post-reform agreement support added and pre-reform components updated * European Portuguese specific rule group added * post-reform agreement by default * compound verbs, possessive pronouns, reflexive forms placement, gerund and more * pre-reform agreement locales support added * Angola, Cape Verde, East Timor, Guinea Bissau, Macau, Mozambique and São Tomé e Principe * base spelling dictionary and tagger update * variants dictionaries added and many part-of-speech fixes * Portuguese has been prepared to use ngram data, that means it has a `confusion_sets.txt` file where word pairs could be added. See http://wiki.languagetool.org/finding-errors-using-n-gram-data for more information but note that we cannot offer the required ngram data yet for Portuguese, as we rely on the Google ngram data and Portuguese isn't part of that. #### Russian * added and improved many rules * added new rules with java filter * added new Java rule `RussianWordCoherencyRule` * added words suggested by users * improved disambiguation rules * updated tagger dictionary from AOT rev.268 with extended POS tags * improved SRX sentences segmentation * added `removed.txt` for words that need to be removed from the dictionary #### Spanish * added and improved rules #### Ukrainian * significant dictionary update * new adj/noun inflection rule * dynamic tagging improvements * disambiguation improvements * some improvements to existing rules * experimental noun/verb agreement rule #### HTTP API * The old API has been deactivated, as documented at https://languagetool.org/http-api/migration.php - it now returns a pseudo error pointing to the migration page #### Java API * A new method for removing overlapping errors has been implemented. By default, it is enabled for the HTTP API and LibreOffice outputs, and disabled for the command-line output. If necessary, priorities for rules and categories can bet set in `Language.getPriorityForId(String id)`. Default value is `0`, positive integers have higher priority and negative integers have lower priority. * `Language.getShortName()` has been deprecated, use `Language.getShortCode()` instead * `Language.getShortNameWithCountryAndVariant()` has been deprecated, use `Language.getShortCodeWithCountryAndVariant()` instead * `Languages.getLanguageForShortName()` has been deprecated, use `Languages.getLanguageForShortCode()` instead * The following languages have been unmaintained for a long time. A warning has been shown for some time on languagetool.org and in the stand-alone GUI for these languages. This warning has now been extended to Java in the form of a deprecation, i.e. the constructors of the following languages have been deprecated. That does *not* mean they are going to be removed in the next version, but it's a warning that we cannot offer support for them or guarantee they will be included in the future: * Belarusian * Swedish * Icelandic * Tagalog * Asturian * Danish * Slovenian If you're interested in contributing to one of these languages, please post to our forum at http://forum.languagetool.org. * The uppercase sentence start rule (id `UPPERCASE_SENTENCE_START`) now ignores immunized tokens - this way users can add lowercase words to `disambiguation.xml` so the rule
