LanguageTool 2.8.0

v2.8

LanguageToolPython 2.7.0

Version 2.7.0 includes two major improvements:

• Support client-server model via setting the host to 0.0.0.0. This allows many LanguageTool clients to connect to a single LanguageTool server. Inspired by feature requests, including #40 - thanks!
• Perhaps more importantly, finally adding support for the many options available in the HTTPServerConfig. This enables lots of things: caching (both example-based an pipeline-based), custom language models, interfacing with premium mode, warming up the server, and more. Thanks to those who posted relevant issues, especially #50.

See the README for information on configuring a client-server setup or passing configuration options to LanguageTool.

LanguageToolPython 2.6.4

language_tool_python version 2.6.4 includes the following improvements:

• Upgrade to LanguageTool software version 5.6 (see 5.6 release notes here: https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/blob/master/languagetool-standalone/CHANGES.md)
• Better information about killing java process (re #38) - add information to README about using with .. as tool and tool.close() to manage processes
• Better unit test coverage to confirm java processes are properly killed
• Removed some legacy code
• PR #51: Better support for the 'auto' tag in LanguageTool (thanks @minoguep)
• PR #46: Add requirements.txt to manifest (thanks @dcbaker)

Also, we dropped support for Python 3.5, hopefully this doesn't affect anyone too drastically. This was necessary to add typing hints to our code, which hopefully is worth it!

LanguageToolPython 2.6.1

LanguageToolPython 2.6.1 upgrades our LanguageTool version to 5.4, which gives us the main benefit of all of the additional error detection rules added to LanguageTool 5.4 across the many languages LanguageTool supports.

Behind the scenes, I cleaned up the code a bit, and changed our web requests to use the Python requests library across the board. There had still been some legacy code that made calls to the raw urlopen() python binding, which caused various issues (such as #42) and was generally persnickety. Hope this works better!

LanguageToolPython 2.5.1

Our most recent release updates to the LanguageTool 5.2 release and makes some important bug fixes behind the scenes. Thanks @RafaelWO, @aokellermann, and @misrasaurabh1 for contributing!

LanguageToolPython 2.4.0

The main change in v2.4.0 is to support LanguageTool's 5.0 update, which supports more languages and errors.

Also made some miscellaneous changes:

• remove dependencies we don't need anymore and other stale things (Dockerfile)
• fix 'JDK 14 could not be parsed' issue
• fix enable/disable spellchecking features
• correct Match types with utils.correct() functionality (and add to README)

LanguageToolPython 2.3.0: nuts & bolts

• allow language_tool_python to run in multiple disparate processes on the same machine (just use different ports)
• new syntax for error correction: tool.correct(text_with_errors) (no need to provide List[Match] anymore)
• run tests using github test runner to verify things work on multiple python versions

LanguageToolPython 2.2.0: better, more configurable downloads

• Add LTP_PATH environment option to customize LanguageTool server location
• Change download URL environment option to LTP_DOWNLOAD_HOST
• Downloading supports a wider array of Python versions
• Add tqdm (our first dependency!) for a nice progress bar
