Bug Fixes
Duplicate Person Records Now Collapse
People whose profiles were split across multiple records, for example under two LinkedIn URLs, now resolve to a single record. If you storelegion_id, you will need to reconcile. When duplicate records collapse, one legion_id survives and the others are retired. A lookup on a retired legion_id will no longer return a record. Re-resolve any stored ids against the current data.
This build merged 224,538 records into 222,280. Most merges joined a single pair.
The vast majority of ids are unaffected: 186,081,935 legion_ids carried forward unchanged.
Titles Recognized as Name Prefixes
Titles such as Pastor, Rabbi, Brother and Imam are now recognized as name prefixes and populated inprefix. Where the record also carries a given name, that name is used for first_name instead of the title. Name suffixes that aren’t recognized (anything outside jr, sr, and ii–x) are dropped rather than passed through as-is.
Names legitimately beginning with St are unaffected.
Certification Parsing
Certification names that use unusual bullet characters or non-breaking spaces are now parsed correctly rather than retaining the leading punctuation incertifications[].name.
