Released: June 17, 2014 |
Squirro now supports Smartphones with a dedicated theme. In this initial release you can access your projects dashboard.
To use it simply access the Squirro service with your mobile browser.
We're very pleased to announce multi user support for Squirro.
Add users to a Squirro account and control which projects they can see. Two roles are supported:
More restricted roles, e.g. a role that only allows a users to View the Dashboards are planned for the near future.
Use the Line Chart widget to visualize any of your fields over time. The widget can show multiple values and will show the amount of matching documents over time. Zoom in by clicking on points on the chart or by selecting an area.
Squirro is now able to index office documents easily using the Squirro REST API or the Squirro Python SDK.
The following formats are supported:
Example code using the Python SDK:
from squirro_client import DocumentUploader import os mapping = {'default': {'sq:size_orig': 'Doc Size', 'sq:content-mime-type': 'Mime Type'}} uploader = DocumentUploader(project_title='My Project', token='<your token>', metadata_mapping=mapping) uploader.upload(os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/test.pdf')) uploader.upload(os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/cv.doc')) uploader.upload(os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/slides.pptx')) uploader.flush() |
Easy to use filesystem and Dropbox connectors for Squirro are planned for the near future.
The Squirro Pipeline is now able to download the content of Links (both HTML and Office Documents) automatically. For example if Squirro subscribes to an RSS feed that provides no content but only links, Squirro can now be instructed to scrape and index the contents of the linked page or document. To enable this functionality you'll need to configure the data sources correctly. Please contact your friendly Squirro staff to learn more.
We've optimized the way the dashboard widgets are loaded. This results in much faster load times of the dashboards.
Many data source types that Squirro supports have an author field. This field is now visible as a field facet in Squirro and it can be used to slice & dice your data.
We've deployed various improvements for a more consistent user experience across our user interface.
Search Term highlighting is now working as expected again.
When content in languages other than english are added to a SmartFilter the language is now detected correctly.
In some edge cases CSS styles and HTML code did show up in the document abstracts. This is fixed and abstract texts now only show plain text.
