A3.21 Release Notes

This is a big one, as there’s a lot of new stuff in our latest release. Some highlights…

  • New domain page features activity stats, a more prominently featured topic area, an improved layout, and new community roles. Here’s the TV domain, for example.
  • New roles. We want to encourage more participation from the Freebase community so there are new roles for Members and Experts. For more info, see the related help topic.
  • Topic page enhancements including a table of contents to navigate quickly to areas of interest. Also…
    • Types are grouped by domain on the topic page, and these groupings can be collapsed or expanded as you like.
    • Maps! You’ll now find embedded maps on the topic page for locations that have geocode info. Here’s London.
    • Domain-level type publishing – types in your default domain start out as draft. To publish them all you need to do is move them into another domain. For more info, see User domains and type visibility.
  • New query editor - we’re pleased to announce the availability of a new and improved query editor that fixes many of the longstanding bugs while providing a host of nifty enhancements.
  • Filter/Table preview - we want to give you a sneak peek at the new filter table view. We’ll have more info on this in a followup blog post, but if you can’t wait to take a look…

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are a host of bug fixes in this release as well (see below) — and much more is planned for the next release. Stay tuned!
