What's New

This release includes new and updated data sets and bundles, Katakana language support, Australian lot number formatting enhancement, and bug fixes.

Note: As data is enriched with the quarterly refreshes, the size of the datasets could grow thereby increasing memory requirements. Continuous housekeeping of your databases and managing/deleting unused data is highly recommended for optimal performance.

Katakana language basic support

In JP7 new language support for Katakana has been introduced. Katakana follows all the relevant patterns which are handled in the Kanji format. For more details on the address patterns implemented for Kanji, Refer to Address Guidelines for Japan
Note: Alternate language is not available for Katakana, and is only supported for English and Kanji.

The Request and Response for Katakana language are shown below:

Australian LOT number formatting

For the Address Autocomplete, the formatting of the Australian address has been modified as per the standards. Now in the formatting of the Australian Address, LOT Information will only return in the formatted street address when there is no corresponding House Number. For all those addresses where the house number is not present, LOT information will become part of the formatted street address. In both cases, whether the candidate has a house number or not, LOT Information will be made available as additional fields whenever it is available.

The Request and Response for Australian LOT number formatting are shown below:
