Introduces two new settings CONST_Use_US_Tiger_Data and
CONST_Use_Aux_Location_data, which are disabled by default.
When false the corresponding tables are ignored in queries
and updates.
Aux and tiger tables are no longer created by default. This
has to be done by the corresponding import scripts. The former
aux table creation can be found in sql/aux_tables.sql for
reference.
Get the version from the database where necessary or simply
probe for existence of features. Fake hstore_to_json when
necessary.
Bumps the minimum required versions fro postgres to 9.1 and
for postgis to 2.0.
Don't run the simplification function if no threshold was given
(or in case of a negative one). Also process the query string
parameter in case of html out format.
New query string parameter polygon_threshold=<0.0..1> is introduced.
The float value of this parameter (defaults to 0) is passed to
ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology() on geometry we're about to output in
one (or many) requested formats such as GeoJSON, KML, etc.
This is useful when getting border polygons for whole countries, but
rendering them at large scale, when most of the high resolution details
cannot be seen anyway. For example, the unsimplified polygon data for
Germany in GeoJSON format currently makes for about 3 MB response body.
With use of this new parameter, the application can greatly reduce the
amount of downloaded data and server response time while providing its
users with the same picture. On a typical laptop screen resolution,
zooming out to fit the whole country borders on screen, only 1/100 amount
of details could be well enough.
When searching for an address with housenumber, include the house
number lookup already when searching in search_name so that we do
not cut away relevant results in cases where there are too many
street pieces.
- completely removes partial words with spaces from addresses
- ensure that frequent partial search terms appear in NonAddress
- higher penalty for partial words consisting of numbers
