[Zdenko Podobny]

Hello all,

The current tesseract master code[1] was tagged as beta and there is intention to finalize a new release in September 2021.

We would like to ask you to test it (the master branch) and report any regression in speed or accuracy compared to 4.1.1.

If you plan to submit any patch or improvements, please do it ASAP.

If you are author of any tesseract wrapper or extension, please adjust your project (or report problems).

If you have a free capacity, please consider to have a look at open issues[2]) - especially tagged for milestone 5.0.0[3]

Also contribution to documentation is welcomed.

Thank you for all the contributions, tests and reports you have already done.
