2016

  • November 7, 2016
    • Added new Census: Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) source to the data index.
  • October 19, 2016
    • Fixed the issues with displaying PublicPages with proper and "pretty" URL in the browser address bar

    • ALPHA release of Tag:ADVANCED-DZBOARD_SETTINGS.
    • ALPHA release of Tag:RESPONSIVE_DESIGN.
  • September 20, 2016
    • CORS enabled at servers.
    • Timing update to BLS Bulk loader
    • Fixed the AFF connector to adjust for discrepencies introduced in table S1501 with the 2015 data.
    • Modified the MarketBrowser data source to not use a date range but instead to be open ended (get all data) by default. Also titles now include the ticker's "long name".
    • Put current grouplist name in prompt as default text when renaming (easier for editing).
  • July 25, 2016
    • Full release of Tag:EXACT_MATCH_COLUMN_DATES fix, forcing monthly data to first of month.
  • July 7,2016
    • Full release of Tag:ESCAPED_AMP_CAUSING_HAVOC - Occasionally 1 or more &s in reembed_str are escaped to & breaking some search logic. Added accounting for this possibility.
  • June 20, 2016
    • Full release of Tag:LV_ND_FORMATTING - Restructured handling of NVVs a bit to enable display formatting of NDs (which have a legacy display of an empty string).


  • June 16, 2016
    • Full release of Tag:LESS_VERBOSE_API_ERRORS - Small changes to how API converts series uids into keys so as to be less verbose with certain errors and more efficient.
  • May 31, 2016
    • Full release of Tag:LATEST_XSECT_DATE - Allowing new keyword "LATEST" signifying we need to auto set most recent date in use upon init.
      • Changed definition of a crosssection display to be when we've received a xsect date AND multiple group lists.
      • This allows for using xsect with non-cross-section displays in which case it will apply to all rows (rather then each possible using its own date).
      • Note: When auto setting xsect date we lose some leaf loading optimizations for cross-sections and must load leaves twice for non-cross-sections.
      • Note: Generaly using keyword "LATEST" with a non-cross-sectional display is not recommended; use only when needed to force all rows to the same date.
    • Full release of Tag:SERIALIZED_MULTI_REQUESTS - API enhancements which allow for sending up multiple series (for creation/replacement) serialized (delimited by "##SPLIT##") instead of or in addition to in parallel (multiple columns). The goal is make it easier for developers to send groups of series up at once without needing to spend computing time to "line them all up".
      • Standardized exposed delimiter to generic ##SPLIT## (case insensitive) from #URLSEP# and xSPLITx (but still accepting legacy xSPLITx for crosssections).
      • Bummped API version up to 1.8.0 (from 1.7.2)
    • Small fix to AFF converter to have PEPANNRES table go back to using old code, which included some special case processing and yielded different results.
    • Full release of Tag:NDD_BLSHASHSTR - Added special handling of BLS tagged NDD values in NNV processing.
    • Delete series moved up from submenu because too hard to find.
    • Full release of Tag:..._ORPHAN_ISSUES - Fix an issue in which default was to allow series duplication which caused a number of problems (cross linked series, mis-matched key/filename, orhpaned files for originals). New default is to prevent duplication (with a message).
    • Full release of Tag:LV_TEMPLATING_EXTDATACOLS - Added ability to template external data columns via new "altextsrc" arg (like glname for templating primary data, and with xSPLITx delimiters like cross-sections).
    • DZDOT_OPERA_SUPPORT - dZ-Dot now supports Opera browser.
  • February 8, 2016
    • Full release of Tag:UNCHECK_DATESACROSSTOP - Prevent precheking of "Date Across Top" option in the embed download tool when there's so much data and it will fail. Users can still modify the range and then check it.
  • January 15, 2016
    • Full rlease of Tag:NNV_TEST_FAILING - Fixed some issues in which the new fast NNV tests were not properly matching actuall NNV values resulting in a host of issues (dzm_data.asp, dz_util.asp).
