Changes

• Recognizer API signature changes:
  • Recognizer initialization is now uniform across packages;
  • Users can either create a specific recognizer instance (according to configuration) or call static Recognize methods for direct access to results (if only default behaviour is needed);
  • Recognizers do not impose singleton behaviour, but cache initialized models for performance.
• New ChoiceRecognizer to extract Boolean entities;
• New IpAddress model in SequenceRecognizer;
• Improved handling of negative numbers in Chinese;
• Extensions and bug fixes to datetime ranges in English.
