CHANGELOG.rdoc

Changelog¶ ↑

Per-release changes to Geocoder.

1.0.1 (2011 May 17)¶ ↑

• Add option to not rescue from certain exceptions (thanks github.com/ahmedrb).

• Fix STI child/parent geocoding bug (thanks github.com/ogennadi).

• Other bugfixes.

1.0.0 (2011 May 9)¶ ↑

• Add command line interface.

• Add support for local proxy (thanks github.com/Olivier).

• Add support for Yandex.ru geocoding service.

• Add support for Bing geocoding service (thanks github.com/astevens).

• Fix single table inheritance bug (reported by github.com/enrico).

• Fix bug when Google result supplies no city (thanks github.com/jkeen).

0.9.13 (2011 Apr 11)¶ ↑

• Fix “can’t find special index: 2d” error when using Mongoid with Ruby 1.8.

0.9.12 (2011 Apr 6)¶ ↑

• Add support for Mongoid.

• Add bearing_to/from methods to geocoded objects.

• Improve SQLite’s distance calculation heuristic.

• Fix: Geocoder::Calculations.geographic_center was modifying its argument in-place (reported by github.com/joelmats).

• Fix: sort ‘near’ query results by distance when using SQLite.

• Clean up input: search for coordinates as a string with space after comma yields zero results from Google. Now we get rid of any such space before sending the query.

• DEPRECATION: Geocoder.near should not take :limit or :offset options.

• DEPRECATION: Change argument format of all methods that take lat/lon as separate arguments. Now you must pass the coordinates as an array [lat,lon], but you may alternatively pass a address string (will look up coordinates) or a geocoded object (or any object that implements a to_coordinates method which returns a [lat,lon] array).

0.9.11 (2011 Mar 25)¶ ↑

• Add support for result caching.

• Add support for Geocoder.ca geocoding service.

• Add bearing attribute to objects returned by geo-aware queries (thanks github.com/matellis).

• Add config setting: language.

• Add config settings: use_https, google_api_key (thanks github.com/svesely).

• DEPRECATION: Geocoder.search now returns an array instead of a single result.

• DEPRECATION: obj.nearbys second argument is now an options hash (instead of units). Please change obj.nearbys(20, :km) to: obj.nearbys(20, :units => :km).

0.9.10 (2011 Mar 9)¶ ↑

• Fix broken scopes (github.com/mikepinde).

• Fix broken Ruby 1.9 and JRuby compatibility (don’t require json gem).

0.9.9 (2011 Mar 9)¶ ↑

• Add support for IP address geocoding via FreeGeoIp.net.

• Add support for Yahoo PlaceFinder geocoding API.

• Add support for custom geocoder data handling by passing a block to geocoded_by or reverse_geocoded_by.

• Add Rack::Request#location method for geocoding user’s IP address.

• Change gem name to geocoder (no more rails-geocoder).

• Gem now works outside of Rails.

• DEPRECATION: fetch_coordinates no longer takes an argument.

• DEPRECATION: fetch_address no longer takes an argument.

• DEPRECATION: Geocoder.search now returns a single result instead of an array.

• DEPRECATION: fetch_coordinates! has been superceded by geocode (then save your object manually).

• DEPRECATION: fetch_address! has been superceded by reverse_geocode (then save your object manually).

• Fix: don’t die when trying to get coordinates with a nil address (github.com/zmack).

0.9.8 (2011 Feb 8)¶ ↑
