A3.17 Release Notes

Highlights

  • Performance improvements on topic edit - the time it takes to open this property editing UI has been cut in half.
  • New address UI - addresses now include country and the address lines are no longer separate properties. In conjunction with this, US city names are being modified to be just the city name, without the state – which is more consistent with the rest of the names in Freebase.
  • Improved date interface- date inputs should handle more formats now including times and also should be less buggy.
  • Filtering on integers and dates, with operands - the filter pages now allows for matching on integers and float values. Dates can also be filtered on, but these must be entered in ISO format yyyy-mm-dd-tt:tt:tt at this point. We hope to simplify that in the future. You also are able to prepend operands in your filter. >,<, >=,<= and ! are all currently supported.
  • Better Image thumbnailing and cropping - improved thumbnailing on the filter page and better cropping exists in the image gallery on the topic page
  • Autocomplete improvements - try searching for ‘usa’ or ‘nyc’ and you’ll find that alias matches are now showing up much better in results.
