ReleaseNotes-WOFIntegration.md

Mapzen Search

Changes

• Switched from Quattroshapes to WhosOnFirst as the canonical source for administrative hierarchies and corresponding geometries.
• No longer importing Quattroshapes data since WhosOnFirst contains all those records and more. Going forward, any use of quattroshapes or qs in queries will resolve to whosonfirst or wof automatically.
• New bbox property has been added to individual results, for which geometry was available in the original source. This does not affect POI and address data.
• Drastic improvements have been made to the label generation logic.
• id and gid format has changed to make the ids more unique.
• New id format resolves previously outstanding bugs related to geonames ids being invalid for lookup via the /place endpoint.
• Addition place types have been introduced, such as macroregion, macrocounty, and burough.
• gid values have been added for each parent in the admin hierarchies of results.
