-===== Downloading Aperture =====
+===== Aperture =====
+:!: Aperture was the first tool that VuFind supported for full-text extraction, and it is the only option for use with versions 1.3 and earlier.  Unfortunately, Aperture is no longer in active development, so users with VuFind 1.4 or later are encouraged to use Tika instead (see below).

-===== Troubleshooting Aperture =====
+==== Troubleshooting Aperture ====
 Under Linux, there is a known bug with version 1.5.0 which prevents Aperture from running on the command line correctly.  See [[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3094429&group_id=150969&atid=779500|this page]] for details on the fix (it just involves minor edits to the lcp.sh file).
+===== Tika =====
+Tika is supported by VuFind 1.4 and later, and is the recommended full-text extraction tool when supported.
