+1.7.2
+========
+---------------
+Overview
+---------------
+Quick release with another hotfix, due to a new found bug when deserializing word embeddings in a distributed fs. Also introduces changes in application.conf reader in order
+to allow run-time changes. Also introduces renaming from EmbeddingsHelper API.
+
+---------------
+Bugfixes
+---------------
+* Fixed embeddings deserialization from distributed filesystem (caused due to windows pathfix)
+* Fixed application.conf not reading changes in runtime
+* Added missing remote_locs argument in python pretrained() functions
+* Fixed wrong build version introduced in 1.7.1 to detect proper pretrained models version
+
+---------------
+Developer API
+---------------
+* Renamed EmbeddingsHelper functions for more convenience

                                     Second, if your PDFs don't have a text layer (this depends on how PDFs were created), the library will use Tesseract 4.0 on background.
                                     Tesseract will utilize native libraries, so you'll have to get them installed in your system.
