This version of eZ Tika incorporates contributions from Felix Woldt (CJW Network) and an updated tika.jar.

The main new feature is that the extension will work simply by activating it. No need to copy and modify files around your server if you don't need to (typically a server hosting just one installation of eZ Publish).

Besides the zero-config option, it is now possible to activate a dedicated eztika debugging setting that will log the text extraction success or failure status and also optionally keeps the temporary file containing the extracted text itself.
