Release 0.3.4

This is a bug-fix release which fixes the following issues:

• missing state and county information (#483, #492)
• missing country code due to incompatible library change (#491)
• adapt to new location of linking information in Nominatim (#490)
• make popups on website readable (#486)

Release 0.3.3

This release adds major improvements to the computation of the address for each place. Please note that when you create a Photon database yourself, then you need Nominatim >= 3.5.1 to fully benefit from the changes. The weekly dumps already contain the improved addresses.

Further changes:

• new command-line option for running updates (#454)
• update dependencies (#459, #461)
• add new fields: county, district, locality and type (#303, #468, #473)
• allow searching for house name (#458)
• respect Accept-Language header (#413)
• make default language configurable (#469)

The default behaviour for Photon is now to return the local language unless the use chooses a language via the lang parameter or the Accept-Language header. To revert to the previous behaviour of returning the English version as default, please run photon with -default-language en.

Release 0.3.2

This release adds the following new features to the API:

• new options for enabling CORS headers (#398)
• new bbox parameter (#364, #421)
• output country codes (#425)
• new debug flag for debugging ES queries (#407)

In addition, it adds improvements to the developement infrastructure:

• improve dependency handling (#399)
• add support for Java 11 (#408, #409)
• add API-level tests next to existing unit tests (#420)

Many thanks to all contributors.

Note: when updating from an older version of Photon, you need to remove the module jar files from your photon data directory. Run rm photon_data/elasticsearch/modules/lang-painless/*jar (where photo_data is your photon data directory). If you forget to do this, startup fails with Jar Hell.

Release 0.3.1

This is a bug fix release which fixes the following issues:

• respect -cluster setting also when running standalone (#331)
• remove diacritics from words (#330)
• set distance_sort default to true for ReverseRequest (#328)
• add osm_value to dedupe key (#367)
• fix scripts for continuous updates from nominatim
• compatibility with latest nominatim version

• update elasticsearch to 5.5
• update sparkjava, groovy and painless
• switch to slf4j-log4j
• add support for JDK9
• update to Nominatim 3.1.0

In addition, there are the following functional changes:

• improve performance of reverse geocoding
• improve house number handling (interpolations, housenumbers with hyphens)
• improve algorithm for computing location bias
• new country code filter for export
• new parameter limit and radius for reverse geocoding
