• Added an option for using conda package manager instead of pip in spacy_install() and spacy_upgrade().
  • (1.21) All character inputs to spacy_parse() and spacy_tokenize() are now coerced to character, which allows them to work directly with quanteda v2 corpus objects (which are based on the character class but with special attributed), without special methods.
  • Fixed a bug in spacy_parse(x, nounphrase = TRUE) that occurred when no noun phrases were found in the text. (#153)
  • Fixed a bug in spacy_initialize() (#157). spacy_initialize() ignored Python options supplied by users when a conda environment created through spacy_install() exists.
  • General stability enhancements to ensure compatibility with spaCy >= 2.1
  • Create an option to permanently set the default Python through .Rprofile
  • Performance enhancement through spacy_initialize(entity = FALSE) (#91)
  • Now looks for Python settings from .bash_profile.
  • Updated for the newer spaCy 2.0 release and new language models.
  • Add ask = FALSE to spacy_initialize(), to find spaCy installations automatically.
  • Fixed a bug causing non-ASCII characters to be dropped when using Python 2.7.x (#58).
  • Fixed issue with automatic detection of python3 when both python and python3 exist, but only python3 has spaCy installed (#62).
  • Initial CRAN release.
