of increasing rendered image size (TIKA-2624).
* NOTE: tika-server no longer returns 415 for file types for which there
is no parser.

Release 1.22 - 07/29/2019

XML files (TIKA-2910). Users must now configure that behavior
via a tika-config.xml file.
* NOTE: Known regression: PDFBOX-4587 -- PDF passwords with codepoints
between 0xF000 and 0XF0000 will cause an exception.

several other file formats (TIKA-2886).
Release 1.21 - 05/14/2019
* Add optional AUTO mode to OCR'ing of PDFs. If tesseract is installed
and on the path, and this option is selected programmatically
or via TikaConfig(), the PDFParser will use heuristics to decide
whether or not to run OCR per page on PDFs. (TIKA-2749)
* The ZipContainerDetector's default behavior was changed to run
streaming detection up to its markLimit. Users can get the
legacy behavior (spool-to-file/rely-on-underlying-file-in-TikaInputStream)
by setting markLimit=-1. The POIFSContainerDetector requires an underlying file;
it will try to spool the file to disk; if the file's length is > markLimit,
it will not attempt detection; set markLimit to -1 for legacy behavior (TIKA-2849).
* Upgrade PDFBox to 2.0.14 (TIKA-2834).
* Add CSV detection and replace TXTParser with TextAndCSVParser;
users can turn off CSV detection by excluding the TextAndCSVParser
and adding back the TXTParser via tika-config (TIKA-2833).
* Add a CSVParser. CSV detection is currently based solely on filename
and/or information conveyed via Metadata (TIKA-2826).
* General upgrades: asm, bouncycastle, commons-codec, commons-lang3, cxf,
guava, h2, httpcomponents, jackcess, junrar, Lucene, mime4j, opennlp, parso,
sqlite-jdbc (provided), zstd-jni (provided) (TIKA-2824)

PDFBox (TIKA-2779).
* Upgrade to PDFBox 2.0.13 (TIKA-2788).
* Prevent content within and elements
to be written in the ToTextContentHandler (TIKA-2550).
* Switch child to parent communication to a shared memory-mapped
file in tika-server's -spawnChild mode.

that caused it to return 503 on documents submitted after
it hit an OutOfMemoryError (TIKA-2776).
* Upgrade jaxb-runtime and javax.activation (TIKA-2778).
* tika-app in batch mode now requires an interrupt or
kill signal to the parent process to stop the parent
and the child processes (TIKA-2780).
* Bulk upgrade of dependencies (TIKA-2775).
* Improve language id efficiency in tika-eval (TIKA-2777).

* Update PDFBox to 2.0.12, jempbox to 1.8.16
and jbig2 to 3.0.2 (TIKA-2745).
* Fix regression in parser for MP3 files (TIKA-2730).
* Updated Python Dependency Check for TesseractOCR (TIKA-2740).
* Improve SAXParser robustness (TIKA-2727).
* Remove dependency on slf4j-log4j12 by upgrading jmatio (TIKA-2742).

org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime and jaxb-core (TIKA-2743)

tika-config.xml options (TIKA-2705).
* Improve handling of empty cells across table-based
formats (TIKA-2479).
* Add a Standards compliant HTML encoding detector
via Gerard Bouchar (TIKA-2673).

To raise this limit, add -Djdk.xml.entityExpansionLimit=XXX to
your commandline.
* Mime magic improvements for Olympus RAW (TIKA-2658), interpreted
server-side languages via HTTP (TIKA-2648), MHTML (TIKA-2723)
* Add absolute timeout to ForkParser rather than testing
for active (TIKA-2656).
* Make the RecursiveParserWrapper work with the ForkParser (TIKA-2655).
* Allow the ForkParser to specify a directory containing tika-app.jar
for use by the ForkServer. This allows users to keep most of the
parser dependencies out of their code; and it allows for an easy
addition of optional jars for Parser dependencies,
such as the xerial sqlite jar (TIKA-2653).
* Use a pool for SAXParsers and DOMBuilders rather than creating
a new parser/builder for every parse.
For better performance, set XMLReaderUtils.setPoolSize() to the
number of threads you're using with Tika (TIKA-2645).
* Add the RecursiveParserWrapperHandler to improve the RecursiveParserWrapper
API slightly (TIKA-2644).
