1.2.0

• Binding reflects unification of /entities and /entities/linked endpoints; /entities returns a new response model which includes QIDs by default

• linkEntities option is available to turn off QIDs through $api->setOption("linkEntities", FALSE);

1.1.2

• Added api.setOption, api.getOption and api.clearOptions methods to allow users to specify options as needed
• Removed RelationshipParameters. Use DocumentParameters instead and provide an option for accuracyMode: PRECISION|RECALL. Relationships defaults to PRECISION if no option is specified.

• No impact on user operations

1.0.3

• Response data is returned as an associative array. The headers are included in the array, key name 'headers'.

1.0.0

• Enable cURL in php. This can be achieved by using the command sudo apt-get install php5-curl or by uncommenting the line extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini.
• Functions and classes removed: The /matched-name and /translated-name endpoints have been renamed to /name-similarity and /name-translation in the Rosette API, so the PHP binding reflects those changes by adding the new functions nameSimilarity and nameTranslation and new corresponding Parameters classes. Functions matchedName and translatedName and their corresponding Parameters classes are no longer supported.
• All responses now include the response headers in the returned JSON -- make sure to access or filter the desired JSON response object in your code. Related to Rosette API's new headers mentioned here.
