textacy v0.10.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-03-01 // about 4 years ago

  • 🆕 New:

    • Added a logo to textacy's documentation and social preview 📃
    • ➕ Added type hints throughout the code base, for more expressive type indicators in docstrings and for static type checkers used by developers to code more effectively (PR #289)
    • ➕ Added a preprocessing function to normalize sequences of repeating characters (Issue #275)

    🔄 Changed:

    • 👌 Improved core Corpus functionality using recent additions to spacy (PR #285)
      • Re-implemented Corpus.save() and Corpus.load() using spacy's new DocBin class, which resolved a few bugs/issues (Issue #254)
      • Added n_process arg to Corpus.add() to set the number of parallel processes used when adding many items to a corpus, following spacy's updates to nlp.pipe() (Issue #277)
      • Bumped minimum spaCy version from 2.0.12 => 2.2.0, accordingly
    • ➕ Added handling for zero-width whitespaces into normalize_whitespace() function (Issue #278)
    • 👌 Improved a couple rough spots in package administration:
      • Moved package setup information into a declarative configuration file, in an attempt to keep up with evolving best practices for Python packaging
      • Simplified the configuration and interoperability of sphinx + github pages for generating package documentation

    🛠 Fixed:

    • 🛠 Fixed typo in ConceptNet docstring (Issue #280)
    • Trained and distributed a LangIdentifier model using scikit-learn==0.22, to prevent ambiguous errors when trying to load a file that didn't exist (Issues #291, #292)
