+= Apache OpenNLP 2.5.2 released
+Apache OpenNLP
+2024-12-27

+:jbake-tags: community
+:jbake-status: published
+:category: news
+:idprefix:
+
+The Apache OpenNLP team is pleased to announce the release of Apache OpenNLP 2.5.2.
+
+The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text.
+
+It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution.
+
+Apache OpenNLP 2.5.2 binary and source distributions are available for download from our download page: link:/download.html[download page]
+
+The OpenNLP library is distributed by Maven Central as well. See the Maven Dependency page for more details: link:/maven-dependency.html[Maven Dependency]
+
+== What's new in Apache OpenNLP 2.5.2
+
+In total, this patch release tackles 21 issues. It brings two new features (thread-safe versions of key components), three dependency updates, several optimizations of code and JavaDoc, and working tool execution tests!
+The latter had been deactivated for some time and are now part of the unit tests again.
+
+For all changes, please see the full list found in link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12311215&version=12355336[Jira,role=external,window=_blank].
