2023.06

Released on: July 03, 2023

Email Object Version 17282

Added

• New Released Web Service

  Releases Web Service allows users to securely and efficiently download data files, object binaries, and other collateral files from Melissa.

  This service enables users to automate the process of updating their data by allowing them to script the download of specific files rather than downloading the entire zip file.

  Additionally, file versioning is provided, making it easier to download historical data if necessary.

  For example, users are able to download the data files specific for Address Object plus the correct Windows object library and any wrappers required, without needing to download the entire zip archive.

  To ensure the security and integrity of the data being downloaded, Releases Web Service requires the user's subscription license.

  Documentation can be found here

• New Melissa Updater CLI Application

  Melissa also offers an open-source command-line interface (CLI) for Windows and Linux. The CLI simplifies the update process by providing a simple interface to consume the Releases web service.

  Instead of scheduling a custom process, you can schedule simplified console commands.

  Documentation can be found here

• New DQSuite-Downloader Script

  New DQSuite-Downloader Script has been made to download the Data Quality Suite files that you need without downloading the entire zip file.

  Downloader scripts can be found here

• Data file changes
  • Updated TLD descriptions
  • When we transitioned to the new mdEmail.db3 data file, we intended for this data file be able to contain hashed full mailboxes so that we can confirm full mailbox level emails if the one-way hashes match our database. However, as we began to add more and more emails, it has grown the file size of the data file significantly and that growth is not expected to slow down. This has caused an issue with a number of our users that don’t intend to use the new mailbox level verification and have issues with the data file size. So, we are transitioning to move the full mailbox email data into a separate data file that is downloadable separately, so users can choose to incur the file size cost individually. This download will soon be available and announced

  • When we transitioned to the new mdEmail.db3 data file, we intended for this data file be able to contain hashed full mailboxes so that we can confirm full mailbox level emails if the one-way hashes match our database. However, as we began to add more and more emails, it has grown the file size of the data file significantly and that growth is not expected to slow down. This has caused an issue with a number of our users that don’t intend to use the new mailbox level verification and have issues with the data file size. So, we are transitioning to move the full mailbox email data into a separate data file that is downloadable separately, so users can choose to incur the file size cost individually. This download will soon be available and announced

Past Announcements

New DQT layout - July 03, 2023

We have changed our disc structure to simplify and modernize our API product. With the latest changes in the USPS CASS Cycle O update, we have updated and remapped all of the latest properties and methods in the wrappers as well as streamlined our sample code. Our sample code and interfaces (wrapper) files have been moved to GitHub. Based on the current landscape of programming languages, we are supporting CSharp (.NET), C++, Java, and Python3.

All the sample code and wrappers can be found here

• Sample code

Language	Operating System	Repository
C#.NET	Windows	MelissaData/AddressObject-Dotnet
	Linux	MelissaData/AddressObject-Dotnet-Linux
C++	Windows	MelissaData/AddressObject-Cpp
	Linux	MelissaData/AddressObject-Cpp-Linux
Java	Windows	MelissaData/AddressObject-Java
	Linux	MelissaData/AddressObject-Java-Linux
Python3	Windows	MelissaData/AddressObject-Python3
	Linux	MelissaData/AddressObject-Python3-Linux

• Wrappers

Language	Repository
C#.NET	MelissaData/AddressObject-Dotnet-Wrappers

New Releases Web Service

Releases Web Service allows users to securely and efficiently download data files, object binaries, and other collateral files from Melissa.

This service enables users to automate the process of updating their data by allowing them to script the download of specific files rather than downloading the entire zip file.

Additionally, file versioning is provided, making it easier to download historical data if necessary.

For example, users are able to download the data files specific for Address Object plus the correct Windows object library and any wrappers required, without needing to download the entire zip archive.

To ensure the security and integrity of the data being downloaded, Releases Web Service requires the user's subscription license.

Documentation can be found here

New Melissa Updater CLI Application

Melissa also offers an open-source command-line interface (CLI) for Windows and Linux. The CLI simplifies the update process by providing a simple interface to consume the Releases web service.

Instead of scheduling a custom process, you can schedule simplified console commands.
