Version 9.0.1

GATE 9.0.1 is a bugfix release -- the only change is to the way URL redirects are handled when loading a document. Support for following redirects from http to https was added in 9.0 which, while correct, broke the way URLs were used within GCP. This release fixes that bug and adds some additional security checking to the redirect handling.

Version 9.0

Whilst the majority of changes in GATE Developer 9.0 are small a number of them change default behaviour (in the UI or API) hence the change in version number. See the %(https://gate.ac.uk/userguide/subsec:changes:9.0?gateVersion=9.0, user guide) for more details

Version 8.6.1

This is a minor bugfix release, the only change from 8.6 is to use the newer https URL for the Central Maven repository instead of the now-disabled http one.

Version 8.6

GATE Developer 8.6 is mainly a maintenance and stability release.

Version 8.5.1

This is a bug fix release to correct two critical bugs in version 8.5 in the ANNIC searchable datastore viewer and the "export for GATE Cloud" facility.

Version 8.5

This is GATE Developer and GATE Embedded version 8.5. The key change from the previous releases is a new plugin management system where plugins are distributed as single JAR files via the Central Maven repository rather than being bundled with the core distribution. Each plugin has its own repository on GitHub and its own release lifecycle.

See the user guide for more details.

Release 8.5-alpha1

This is the first alpha release of GATE 8.5. The distribution zip file available here contains only the core of GATE Developer, the plugins are downloaded at runtime the first time they are required.
