The @sinequa/components library has been refactored as 2 libraries (@sinequa/components and @sinequa/analytics). The new analytics library contains the most advanced components from the former library (charts, heatmap, network, map, timeline), and we will keep developing new modules featuring similar advanced integrations.
References to the material design library have been removed. Only the components based on the Bootstrap library remain.
The tslint configuration has been replaced with eslint configuration.
Our 3 libraries are now published to npm (we will publish them every time we release a new version of the code on Github).
Preview optimization & improvements:
General performance optimization to speed up the loading time of the preview, particularly with large number of pages
Optimization of the extract panel on the left, to handle a large number of extracts
Display of the document title & original URL at the top of the document navigator
Improvement of the preview tooltip look & feel (dynamic scale & positioning)
Custom user interface for documents split by pages with document splitter
The preview facet (visible in Vanilla & Pepper) now has action buttons to toggle the visibility of entities & extracts highlights
We added the possibility to remove the sandbox attribute of the preview iframe (by passing null, which can be required in some situations)
Facets:
New tag cloud facet component. Documentation available here. This component was added to Pepper's palette of components.
Refactored my-search facet component with new options & styling. Documentation available here. Note that this component replaces the breadcrumbs component in both Vanilla & Pepper (the component is not displayed with a facet card, but simply above the list of results).
Handling of excluded items in list facets
List facets now have an option to display a visual bar proportional to the number of items
New functionalities added to the main search form of Vanilla & Pepper (which are now fully identical):
Inline button to clear the form
Inline button to keep current filters (eg. facets) active for a new search (false by default)
Inline button to search by speaking (the button is not shown by default, as it relies on querying Google's servers)
Inline button to display an advanced form (not shown on Pepper by default)
The above options can all be turned on or off by commenting or uncommenting the features in config.ts (or alternatively by passing these options via the "Customization (JSON)" tab of the application's configuration - See configuration).
The search form now handles a long list of fielded search "badges" by scrolling horizontally (with additional left/right buttons)
New web services added to the @sinequa/core library:
DatasetWebService: allows to fetch data from the new Dataset web service (currently in beta) as an alternative to the query web service.
QueryIntentWebService: allows to analyze a user's query to infer its intent, using the latest query intent integration on the Sinequa server (currently in beta).
New audit events added:
Navigation events: We now record navigation between routes of the applications, as well as leaving the app and returning (navigation.home, navigation.exit, etc.)
Timeline filtering (from, to)
Autocomplete selection
Application logout
The analytics library contains a new "finance" module containing 2 components for displaying amounts of money extracted from documents. Documentation available here. These components have been added to Pepper's palette of components.
Minor improvements to the network component's performance & API
New options/behaviors added to the sq-result-title component
The user ratings component does not display empty messages any more
Delegated admins can now navigate to the administration from the user menu
New documentation page on the SBA startup lifecycle available here.
