Release Notes

November 13, 2013 (v1.7.0)
Module lds
New
Add SETUP procedure. This procedure allows configuring credentials and endpoints for a custom installation of the Analytics Toolbox. Check this documentation for more information about this topic.
Replace LDS_QUOTA_INFO by GET_LDS_QUOTA_INFO function. This new function allows checking your currently consumed quota with a single query, without the need to store the result as a table.
Module statistics
New
Added LOCAL_MORANS_I_H3, LOCAL_MORANS_I_QUADBIN procedures. These procedures allows computing the spatial autocorrelation locally.
Added GWR_GRID procedure. This procedure allows computing a Geographically Weighed Regression on an spatial index grid.
Added GETIS_ORD_SPACETIME_H3, GETIS_ORD_SPACETIME_QUADBIN procedures. These procedures allow computing the space temporal Getis-Ord Gi* statistic for each H3 index and each datetime timestamp according to the method described in this paper.
Fix
Added missing EXECUTE AS CALLER command in the procedures of this module, which was causing an error when the role that ran the procedure was not the owner.
October 13, 2023 (v1.6.1)
Module lds
Improvement
New batch service for CREATE_ISOLINES. Used automatically by the procedure. No changes required.
September 8, 2023 (v 1.6.0)
Module statistics
New
The new version of the following procedures now expects a table as input, overcoming previous performance limitations:
​GETIS_ORD_H3​
​GETIS_ORD_QUADBIN​
​MORANS_I_H3​
​MORANS_I_QUADBIN​
This is a breaking change from the previous version of the functions that expected an ARRAY as input. Please make sure that you make the necessary changes if you are using this functions.
Module lds
New
We have added optional parameters: api_base_url, lds_token to every function/procedure
Fix
Fix CREATE_ROUTES fails if geom_column is not named geom
July 14, 2023 (v 1.4.0)
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.
June 6, 2023 (v 1.3.0)
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.
May 5, 2023 (v 1.2.0)
Module statistics
New
We have added a new module named “statistics” in the Analytics Toolbox for Snowflake which has a set of geostatistics functions to compute the Getis-Ord Gi* statistic and the Moran’s I spatial autocorrelation:
Getis-Ord Gi* functions:
​GETIS_ORD_QUADBIN​
​GETIS_ORD_H3​
​P_VALUE​
Moran’s I functions:
​MORANS_I_QUADBIN​
​MORANS_I_H3​
Module h3
New
We have incorporated two new functions to the “h3” module of the Analytics Toolbox, namely H3_CENTER, which returns the center of an H3 cell as a GEOGRAPHY point, and H3_RESOLUTION which returns the H3 cell resolution as an integer.
Module transformations
New
We have added support for the ST_CONVEXHULL function, which computes the convex hull of the input geographies (the smallest convex geography that covers all the input ones)
April 4, 2023 (v 1.1.1)
Module lds
Improvement
We have improved the performance in CREATE_ISOLINES, benefiting now from parallelizing requests to the API.
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.
March 7, 2023 (v 1.1.0)
Module lds
New
We have added object type support for the options parameter also maintaining string type support as until now in GEOCODE_TABLE, GEOCODE_REVERSE_TABLE, CREATE_ISOLINES, , GEOCODE, GEOCODE_REVERSE, and ISOLINE.
January 31, 2023 (v 1.0.0)
Module tiler
Improvement
Update default zoom values: geo, quadbin, h3 (12, 12, 6).
Fix spatial index tiler with empty properties.
December 22, 2022
Module lds
Improvement
We have added the possibility to configure more options as parameters when executing the functions to CREATE_ISOLINES. 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
New
Quadbin/quadkey conversion functions have been added to ease the conversion from quadbin to quadkey and from quadkey to quadbin indexes.
