Release Notes

November 27th, 2024 (1.8.1)

Module lds

Fix

  • Fixed an issue that produced redundant calls in CREATE_ROUTES procedure.

September 24th, 2024 (v1.8.0)

Module tiler

New

  • Add tile_resolution to all tileset creation options. This new setting allows controlling the size of the tiles when rendered in a map. Higher values produce larger tiles.

Module lds

Fix

July 2nd, 2024 (v1.7.1)

Module import

Fix

  • Import functions in AT Gateway now raise an exception when there is an error. This replaces the previous status message.

May 22nd, 2024 (v1.7.0)

Module http_request

New

  • We have a new module named “http_request”. It allows making requests to external endpoints through the function HTTP_REQUEST.

Module import

New

  • We have a new module named “import”. It allows importing tables for a given URL containing a file in any of the formats supported by the CARTO Import API. The procedure in charge of this import is IMPORT_URL.

April 18th, 2024 (v1.6.1)

Module clustering

Fix

  • Update ST_CLUSTERKMEANS in order to avoid generating less clusters than requested. The maximum number of clusters now will be equal to the number of different points passed.

Module lds

Fix

  • GEOCODE_TABLE not working properly for “geom_column” parameters value different from “geom”.

March 21st, 2024 (v1.6.0)

Module lds

New

  • All external functions (including those used by the procedures in the lds module) now use a single, unified endpoint. This also simplifies the manual installation of the Analytics Toolbox.

  • GEOCODE_TABLE now uses async batch geocoding with TomTom, boosting the geocoding speed considerably. Also matching by rows is applied ensuring that the address that reaches the TomTom endpoints is as similar as possible as the table value.

February 16th, 2024 (v1.5.1)

Module lds

Fix

January 18th, 2024 (v1.5.0)

Module quadbin

New

  • New QUADBIN_DISTANCE function that returns the distance (number of cells) between two quadbin cells.

Fix

  • Improved precision when calculating cell indexes from latitudes close to the poles (±90º).

Module constructors

Fix

  • Fixed a problem with the output of ST_BEZIERSPLINE and ST_MAKEELLIPSE functions, they now return a GEOMETRY type column instead of a VARCHAR.

  • Fixed a problem with the output of ST_MAKEENVELOPE function, it now returns a GEOMETRY with SRID 4326.

Module transformations

Fix

Module tiler

Fix

Module data

Fix

  • Fixed an issue when using AVG aggregation, that was not correctly computed when “data_query” contained NULL values.

Module lds

Fix

  • GEOCODE_TABLE malfunctioning for multi-line addresses with multiple rows with scape line and indentations.

December 23, 2023 (v1.4.1)

Module lds

Fix

  • Accept one or more AWS roles for the SETUP function

November 13, 2023 (v1.4.0)

Module lds

New

  • Add SETUP procedure. This procedure allows configuring credentials and endpoints of an Analytics Toolbox installation. Find more information about this topic in this documentation.

October 13, 2023 (v1.3.1)

Module tiler

Improvement

Module lds

Improvement

  • New batch service for CREATE_ISOLINES. Used automatically by the procedure. No changes required.

Module lds

Fix

  • We have made the GEOCODE_TABLE procedure more robust for special characters contained in the address data.

July 14, 2023 (v1.2.0)

Module lds

New

  • We are now allowing users to send any of the parameter options supported by the isolines service provider in CREATE_ISOLINES.

  • We have improved our logging of results in GEOCODE_TABLE so more information about processed and geocoded rows is provided to the user. Also the new option “carto_force_geocode” allows the re-geocoding of already geocoded rows.

Fix

  • We have applied some fixes to the CREATE_ROUTES function so the metadata column can be successfully created and informed.

Module quadbin

Change

\

June 6, 2023 (v1.1.0)

Module lds

New

  • We have created a new procedure named CREATE_ROUTES, which calculates the routes (returned as linestrings) between a set of given origins and destinations (points) in a query. It supports different transport modes and advanced options as the other functions of the lds module.

April 4, 2023 (v1.0.2)

Module lds

Change

  • We have updated the LDS module to be aligned with the new usage quota model, working as an annual budget and combining consumption across all supported LDS services.

Module lds

Fix

January 31, 2023 (v1.0.0)

December 22, 2022

These new options, which depend on the LDS service provider, allow the user to configure more transportation modes such as truck or bike, the possibility of specifying departure or arrival times allowing the creation of reverse isolines, and other options like different routing modes.

  • Added new confidence/relevance metadata to the results of the geocoding function GEOCODE_TABLE.

Module quadbin
