Add Citizen Atlas (Washington DC) as a supported geocoder.

v1.3, 2012-04-20¶

Add ESRI SOAP locators as supported geocoders. Added suds dependency. Remove default rejected entities from BING setting to a postprocessor. Refactor constructors to fix bugs caused by mutable default values.

v1.3.1, 2012-04-23¶

Refactor test runner. Support multiple fields in GroupBy processor.

v1.3.2, 2012-04-25¶

Add SnapPoints postprocessor.

Fix bug in tests (Bing was not being used even if the environment variable BING_MAPS_API_KEY was set.

Simplify ESRI ZIP processing

Improve logging

v1.3.4, 2012-05-11¶

Cast Nominatim coordinates returned in JSON from string to float. This was causing an error in the SnapPoints postprocessor added in v1.3.3, as the processor was attempting to evaluate mathematical equations using strings instead of numbers. A test was added to check that the types of the coordinates are successfully converted to floats.

Add test for SnapPoints postprocessor.

Change __unicode__() method for places.Candidate to display info indicating null or empty values, instead of just displaying “None”.

v1.3.5, 2012-05-21¶

Geocoder().geocode() method can take one-line string OR PlaceQuery instance.

Improve speed by avoiding postprocessing of empty list

Add support for MapQuest licensed geocoding API using NAVTEQ data

v1.3.6, 2012-05-22¶

Add SSH support for MapQuest

Add CancelIfRegexInAttr preprocessor to avoid geocoding attempts if a PlaceQuery instance attribute matches the given regex (such as a PO Box)
