- Improvements
- Speeds : We made significant investments in our email validation cloud infrastructure, focusing on stability, reliability and speed improvements.

- Domain Correction : We made significant improvements and reworked our domain correction algorithm with the goal of reducing false corrections. We plan to expand domain corrections to include more popular domains on a periodic basis.
