Hi, LanguageTool 6.3 has been released and can now be downloaded here. It includes rule updates for Catalan, Dutch, English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Ukrainian.

Please note: Due to the overhead a release creates, we’ll switch from a 3-month to a 6-month release cycle, starting with the next release (6.4). You can find the roadmap at Release Roadmap | dev.languagetool.org. If you need a recent version of LT, you can always get the latest snapshot at https://internal1.languagetool.org/snapshots/.

Thank you, Daniel! Will there be an update to the artifacts in maven repo?
I have some NLP tools for Ukrainian that rely on LT artifacts. Technically, I only need languagetool-core and language-uk but I am not sure if it makes sense to release just these two.
Or (if it’s easier) if we could generate some regular snapshot artifacts (say monthly) that could help too.

The artifacts are already at Maven Central: Maven Central: org.languagetool

ah ok … I was hoping that it addresses some memory issues I am seeing after updating to 6.3, where I quickly crash due to being out of heap memory. Is it expected for 6.3 to use more memory?

As the number of rules grows, LT tends to use more memory. We also don’t optimize for memory usage.
