API Change Log

This changelog contains the versions and dates of changes to the Naurt Final Destination API.

Naurt uses SemVer versioning with the addition of “-hf.x” for bug fixes of the same version. When a new major version is released, Naurt creates a new endpoint (e.g. final-destination/v2), and maintains support for the old version to ensure compatibility.

Final Destination V2

v2.6.24 - 15th May 2026

• No longer return an E-003-014 error when an incomplete address string is used, instead just returning a no_match hit.

v2.6.23-hf.1 - 14th May 2026

• Fixed bug where match_level is not present when a key_value style GeoJSON is uses

v2.6.23 - 13th May 2026

v2.6.22 - 12th May 2026

• Removed input_filter as due to improvements in v2.6.21, this is no longer necessary. Implementations using input_filter will NOT break; it is now simply ignored/

v2.6.21 - 11th May 2026

• Major theme of this release was search improvements.
