Changelog

All notable changes documented below.

## 1.0.1

bug fix: no longer silently fails when object value has unsupported data type, instead returning the entire object in dict format.

1.0.0

enhancement (breaking change): properties now passed as whitespace-separated list rather than comma-separated. They can also be passed through a config file by giving the --properties option a filename to a file that exists.
stability improvements: elasticsearch.helpers.streaming_bulk now used instead of elasticsearch.helpers.parallel_bulk due to issues with memory usage of the latter. Bulk load now retries on timeout.

0.3.7

fix: reading from JSON dump forces utf-8

0.3.6

fix: handles documents which are missing any of labels/aliases/descriptions/claims fields.
enhancement: wd_entities.simplify_wbgetentities_result gives the option to return the redirected QID for Wikidata pages which redirect. By default it returns the undirected QID: the same one that was passed into the function.

0.3.5

fix: wd_entities.simplify_wbgetentities_result can handle type quantity, and returns the value of amount.

0.3.4

enhancement: wd_entities.get_entities now has a get_labels method to get labels for a list of QIDs in a particular language using the wbgetentities API.

0.3.2

enhancement: add labels_aliases field for faster text search of both labels and aliases using an Elasticsearch match query

0.3.1

fix: property values without types are ignored
enhancement: refresh is disabled for the duration of data load by default, using --disable_refresh flag. This is beneficial for large datasets or low-resource machines as refreshing the search index is CPU-intensive and can cause the data load to freeze.

0.3.0

add changeable timeout for wbgetentities GET request
handle more Wikidata claims than just QIDs
generate User Agent from request in line with Wikidata guidelines
make Wikidata-related methods importable (rather than just runnable from CLI)
