- New Downloader [15. March 2022]: You can now download the latest SNOMED-CT and UMLS model packs via UMLS user authentication.
- New Feature and Tutorial [7. December 2021]: Exploring Electronic Health Records with MedCAT and Neo4j
- New Minor Release [20. October 2021] Introducing model packs, new faster multiprocessing for large datasets (100M+ documents) and improved MetaCAT.
- New Release [1. August 2021]: Upgraded MedCAT to use spaCy v3, new scispaCy models have to be downloaded - all old CDBs (compatble with MedCAT v1) will work without any changes.
- New Feature and Tutorial [8. July 2021]: Integrating 🤗 Transformers with MedCAT for biomedical NER+L
- General [1. April 2021]: MedCAT is upgraded to v1, unforunately this introduces breaking changes with older models (MedCAT v0.4), as well as potential problems with all code that used the MedCAT package. MedCAT v0.4 is available on the legacy branch and will still be supported until 1. July 2021 (with respect to potential bug fixes), after it will still be available but not updated anymore.
