0.2.7 (13/08/2014)

  • Fixed Issue #1 lemmatization of strings containing a forward slash (/)

  • Fixed tokenization in PatternParserLemmatizer

0.2.6 (04/08/2014)

  • Fixed MANIFEST.in for package data in sdist

0.2.5 (04/08/2014)

  • sdist is non-functional as important files are missing due to a misconfiguration in MANIFEST.in - does not affect wheels
  • Major internal refactoring (but no backwards-incompatible API changes) with the aim of restoring complete compatibility to original pattern>=2.6 library on Python2
  • Separation of textblob and pattern code
  • On Python2 the vendorized version of pattern.text.de is only used if original is not installed (same as nltk)
  • Made pattern.de.pprint function and all parser keywords accessible to customise parser output
  • Access to complete pattern.text.de API on Python2 and Python3 from textblob_de.packages import pattern_de as pd
  • tox passed on all major platforms (Win/Linux/OSX)

0.2.3 (26/07/2014)

  • Lemmatizer: PatternParserLemmatizer() extracts lemmata from Parser output
  • Improved polarity analysis through look-up of lemmatised word forms

0.2.2 (22/07/2014)

  • Option: Include punctuation in tags/pos_tags properties (b = TextBlobDE(text, tagger=PatternTagger(include_punc=True)))
  • Added BlobberDE() class initialized with German models
  • TextBlobDE(), Sentence(), WordList() and Word() classes are now all initialized with German models
  • Restored complete API compatibility with textblob.tokenizers module of the main TextBlob library

0.2.1 (20/07/2014)

  • Noun Phrase Extraction: PatternParserNPExtractor() extracts NPs from Parser output
  • Refactored the way TextBlobDE() passes on arguments and keyword arguments to individual tools
  • Backwards-incompatible: Deprecate parser_show_lemmata=True keyword in TextBlob(). Use parser=PatternParser(lemmata=True) instead.

0.2.0 (18/07/2014)

  • vastly improved tokenization (NLTKPunktTokenizer and PatternTokenizer with tests)
  • consistent use of specified tokenizer for all tools
  • TextBlobDE with initialized default models for German
  • Parsing (PatternParser) plus test_parsers.py
  • EXPERIMENTAL implementation of Polarity detection (PatternAnalyzer)
  • first attempt at extracting German Polarity clues into de-sentiment.xml
  • tox tests passing for py26, py27, py33 and py34

0.1.3 (09/07/2014)

  • First release on PyPI

0.1.0 - 0.1.2 (09/07/2014)

  • First release on github
