We are pleased to present our 2011 Q4 release. The main features of this release are:
- Performance Improvements
- Restructuring of the Global Knowledge Repository (GKR) to increase accuracy of results
- Context rule and lexicon enhancements to handle a wider range of input data
- New Python Local API
- Enhanced account management and reporting for Loqate Cloud users
- New JSON Batch Cloud API
- Installation improvements to support “white labeling” and rebranding
This document describes these changes in greater detail along with installation instructions, things to be aware of and other helpful tips.
Important to Know Before Installation
C++ API users: All C++ const string & references have been replaced with const char * to deal with memory allocation issues across Microsoft C++ runtime libraries. Any C++ integrations must be recompiled against this new Loqate release.
API updates
- C++ API users: All C++ const string & references have been replaced with const char * to deal with memory allocation issues across Microsoft C++ runtime libraries. Any C++ integrations must be recompiled against this new Loqate release.
- const char* getVersion ()
- This member function returns the version number of the Loqate server.
- const char* readRegistry (const char* tableName, const char* key)
- This member function returns the value of the key from the given Loqate table.
- IgnoreUnmatched option
- Allow unmatched input data within the address lines to be ignored during a Search process, meaning that a search can proceed matching only partial input data. Default No.
- UseSymbolicTransliteration option
- Specify ‘No’ to limit transliteration to complete field phrase matches. Default Yes.
- Python API now available upon request
Fixed Bugs
- Fixed Microsoft Visual Studio version dependency issue (see “Important to Know Before Installation”). All Visual Studio versions from 2005 onwards are now supported.
- Native language address format is now only used when all of the output data is in native language.
