This release was generally focused on performance improvements and changes to the filter/table view page. There are quite a few fixes and enhancements (with many more in the works for the coming weeks), so read on…
Highlights
- New Filter/Table & Gallery View UI – we’ve done a fairly major overhaul to the navigation and functionality of the filter/table page. The new navigation should make it easier to view the data, pushing the content higher on the page and moving some secondary functions behind a less imposing set of buttons and options. For more see this blog post.
- Faster pages – We’ve switched templating engines (we now use Mako) on the Freebase client so most of the pages on the site should render more quickly.
- Your Types on your homepage – your homepage now provides access to types in your draft domain via a handy tab in the upper left part of the page.
- Your Favorite topics – the user profile now has a place to input your favorite Freebase topics. Don’t see the topic you’re looking for in Freebase? Add it. Express yourself!
