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 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).

  • 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 has been superceded by +geocode+ (then save your object manually).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 has been superceded by +reverse_geocode+ (then save your object manually).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).
