We've just released v1.5.6.1 of QVSource - the QlikView and Qlik Sense API connector, which is possibly one of our most important releases as it contains a critical fix for the SSL3 issue that arose yesterday and affects all our Twitter and Facebook users. As always we strive to give the best support we can and within a few hours of the issue being identified we had a fix available. You can read more about the issue in the post that we made this morning.
Due to the nature of the issue, this may also affect other connectors, so we recommend that everyone update to the new version as soon as possible.
In addition to this fix, we also have a number of general improvements, some of the notable ones being...
- Twitter have dropped support for SSL3 connections, which QVSource now reflects (see above).
- The Followers and Following tables now return up to 3,000 results.
- A max_id parameter has been added to Mentions, UserTimeline HomeTimeline, DirectMessagesReceived and DirectMessagesSent tables. The Favorite table also has this as well as a since_id parameter added
- Many tables now have a checkbox to remove invalid characters.
- Any @ symbol occurrences in JSON key names are now handled better when converting to XML where it is normally invalid.
- If server value begins with mongodb:// it will now be used as a standard connection string (i.e. port, username/password and database inputs will be ignored). This allows more flexibility in connection options.
- We have fixed bug where document fields seen in a given batch of documents are not properly remembered on subsequent batches which can break QlikView load.
Sentiment & Text Analytics Connector
- The Repustate engine now supports Russian.
- Breaking Change - with Repustate you must now register for your own API key and use this instead of the built-in one, which is no longer available.
This is a new connector in development, which currently has a single Encrypt table. This can be used for encrypting a password before sending to, for example, the General Web Connector.
As always, we would also recommend you read the notes on the "Change Log" tab of any connectors you are using for a comprehensive overview of changes.
