upgrading fastText version

[dcsan]

it seems that node-fasttext cannot use the models file that we generate from fastText binary itself.

I think there was a big change in the model format a few months ago, but it seems you are using a recent version of FT, but I'm not quite sure how to check the version.

technically they have only had one release https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/releases

not sure where this is defined:

FASTTEXT_VERSION = 12;

so I guess I have to check commit hashes against your version of the submodule? https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/commits/master

I see the same commit that you're using from back in dec 2017?

your repo

ft repo

so to update... I'm not 100% clear what to do 🙀

• fork your repo
• somehow update the sub-repo to change which version of FT pointing to
• send you a PR
• maybe publish a separate NPM module in case you don't have time to

do you see any problems with this or other steps I need to do?
