====== Version 0.71 ======

  * **NEW (requirement)**: BootCaT frontend now needs Java 7 (a.k.a. java 1.7) to work (visit [[http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp|this page]] to see which version of Java you have)

  * **NEW (feature)**: full UTF-8 support, which means you'll be able to build corpora in languages which don't use the latin alphabet (i.e. Russian, Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, etc.);

  * **NEW (feature)**: you can now edit tuples directly, so you can tweak your corpus any way you like (see [[bootcat:help:corpus_creation_mode|this page]] for more info);

  * **NEW (feature)**: you can now skip directly to the corpus building process, which means you can just feed a list of URLs to BootCaT and it will download and clean them for you, without having to go through the process of selecting seeds, building tuples, etc. (see [[bootcat:help:corpus_creation_mode|this page]] for more info);

  * **NEW (feature)**: language filtering, pages in the wrong language will be discarded automatically;

  * **NEW (feature)**: document size filtering: after downloading and cleaning a web page, BootCaT can count the characters in the document and discard it if the character count is too low or too high;

  * **NEW (feature)**: added "Copy" and "Paste" buttons to the "seed selection" and "search engine key" panels; cut/copy/paste has always been supported using a keyboard shortcut, but many users don't know about keyboard shortcuts;
