2013Q1.0 Release Notes

We are pleased to present our 2013Q1.0 release. The main features of this release are:

  • New Certified option which allows testing of a SERP compliant output for Canada (SERP Recognition still pending)
  • New tool to get GKR Info
  • Improved throughput on China, Japan and South Korea
This document describes these changes in greater detail along with things to be aware of and other helpful tips.

General Suggestions and Tips

For the best results, install the 2013Q1.0 release as soon as your application development cycle allows. The 2013Q1.0 release makes improvements in both throughput of the verification process but also in the quality of the results.

Please remember to update both the program files and the reference data. The improvements in the Loqate Engine are tied to the data in the Global Knowledge Repository and the combination works better. If a reason exists in your application that both cannot be updated, please contact Loqate Support prior to upgrading so we can help you.
