Changes for 3.2

New features

New action to replace smart quotes to their ASCII equivalent (#1676)
New phonetic clustering methods are available: Beider-Morse (#926) and Daitch-Mokotoff (#927)
The "Uses values as identifiers" operation now accepts cells with RDF uris instead of just identifiers, using the identifierSpace declared by the reconciliation service (#1953)
Items suggested by auto-complete can now be clicked with the middle button, which opens their URL in a new tab (#1934)
Reconciliation previews are now shown when hovering the candidate (no click is needed). Clicking the candidate opens its page in a new tab. It is possible to disable this feature for matched cells by adding cell-ui.previewMatchedCells=false in the preferences. (#1943)
A "Select all/None" button was added when importing multi-sheet Excel (#1974)
New customized facets available in the "All" menu: facet by blank, non-blank values per column and non-blank records per column (#1977)

Wikidata upload is twice as fast (#2061)
Labels and descriptions can be added without overwriting existing ones (#2063)
References in the Wikidata schema can be copied across statements and items (#1912)
The language codes supported by the Wikidata extension have been updated (#1933)
Reconciliation features are updated when creating new items with the Wikidata extension (#1887)
The date precisions supported in the Wikidata schema have been updated to match those supported by Wikidata (#1944)
A caching bug in the statement value rendering of the Wikidata extension has been fixed (#2046)
Adding multiple labels in the same language on an item in the Wikidata extension no longer fails (#1917)
Editing Wikidata as an anonymous user when login cookies are invalidated can no longer happen (#2064)
Incompatibility between schema export and QuickStatements export was resolved (#2097)

The cross function outputs more informative error messages (#1976)
A bug in the diff GREL function was fixed (#1998)
The find GREL function now treats string litterals as such instead of as regular expressions (#1833)

The new behaviour of list facets, which required to add .toString() to the facet expression, has been temporarily reverted. It will be reintroduced in a non-breaking way as soon as possible. (#1957)
Reconciliation candidates are sorted by decreasing score even if the reconciliation service does not enforce that (#1913)
A data corruption bug introduced by reconciliation services which do not expose identifierSpace and schemaSpace was fixed (#1936)
Spaces in the path to OpenRefine's data directory are now allowed (#1623)
A bug (introduced in 3.2-beta) in cell value serialization which saved every value as a string was fixed (#2008, #1996)
A bug (introduced in 3.2-beta) in Excel importing was fixed (#1981, #1984)
A bug (introduced in 3.2-beta) in JSON history extraction was fixed (#1990)
A bug in column removal was fixed (#2041)
Exceptions when running OR from a non-existent workspace have been fixed (#1989)
A bug (introduced in 3.2-beta) when reading projects with custom metadata has been fixed (#1994)
A bug in operation JSON serialization was fixed (#2068)

Incompatibilities with Java 9 to 12 have been resolved (#1890, #2067, #2069)
The OpenRefine icon on the Windows executable was restored. (#1995)
A Maven issue when building the sources outside a Git repository was fixed (#2047, #2088)

OpenRefine now uses Jackson instead of org.json (#1652). Most extensions need to be migrated to Jackson as a consequence, see the migration guide for that.
Clustering is now extensible: it is possible to write OpenRefine extensions that define new clustering distances or encoders (#1893). A sample phonetic extension is provided, which implements the new phonetic methods mentioned above.
