* Yet another round of XPDF-related security fixes.
* Mis-detection of man pages as part of TAR archives fixed.
* More Mime-types for the OLE2 extractor. Also ignore (harmless)
libc errors in plugins when extracting.
* More TAR improvements: keywords 'date' and 'format' are
extracted. More checksums variants were added. Long filenames
as produced by GNU and Schilling tar (possibly Solaris pax also)
are extracted.
Changes 0.5.9:
* Made TAR extractor parsing more robust.
* Fixing crash in MIME-extractor due to typo in the code.
* Fixed security problems in PDF extractor
* Fixed bugs in the exiv2, OpenOffice, and OLE2 plug-ins.
* Static relocatable glib no longer required.
* getKeywords2 function is now included in the code.
Bugfixes in exiv2 extractor fixing remaining issues.
Changed plugins to not use filename but always only
rely on mmapped memory. Extended API with function
that allows running getKeywords on data in memory
(instead of filename). Extended API with encode
and decode functions for binary metadata.
Changes 0.5.1:
Preliminary integration of exiv2 support (not enabled
by default due to bugs). Moved Python and Java
bindings into separate packages.

(first half was fixed in 0.3.11nb1)
ChangeLog excerpts:

Fixing various problems on Sparc64 (bus errors).
Workaround for re-load glib problem of OLE2 extractor.
libextractor is a simple library for keyword extraction. libextractor
does not support all formats but supports a simple plugging mechanism
such that you can quickly add extractors for additional formats, even
without recompiling libextractor. libextractor typically ships with a
dozen helper-libraries that can be used to obtain keywords from common
file-types.
