[3.44.0] - 2025-11-22

Added

  • ZIP+4 Support: Extended ZIP code format (12345-6789) now recognized and extracted
    • parseRunOnAddress() checks for ZIP+4 format first, falls back to 5-digit
    • Backward compatible with existing 5-digit ZIP codes
    • 12 new tests for ZIP+4 extraction (all passing)
    • Mixed ZIP format handling (5-digit and ZIP+4 in same batch)
  • Comprehensive Test Suite: 200+ address test script
    • scripts/test-v3.44-improvements.mjs tests 203 diverse addresses
    • Measures city/state/ZIP extraction rates
    • Compares v3.44.0 to v3.43.0 baseline
    • Generates detailed failure reports

Fixed

  • Edge Case #1: Periods in Street Names - "301 W. 6th St." now normalized to "301 W 6th St"
    • titleCase() now removes periods from abbreviations
    • Consistent normalization across all addresses
  • Edge Case #2: Hyphenated Street Names - "123 North-South Blvd" now preserved correctly
    • Fixed stripSecondaryAddress() to avoid matching "North" as "no" (secondary indicator)
    • Added special handling for ambiguous indicators (no, trailer, tr)
    • Requires digit after ambiguous indicators to match
  • Edge Case #3: Word Boundary Issues - "Springfield" no longer matched as "sp" (space indicator)
    • Added word boundary after secondary indicators in patterns 3 & 4
    • Prevents false matches on city names starting with indicator prefixes
  • Edge Case #4: Addresses Without ZIP - "456 Maple Dr Springfield IL" now parses correctly
    • Improved fallback logic in parseRunOnAddress()
    • Checks if second-to-last word is common street abbreviation (dr, st, ave, rd, ln, ct, blvd, way)
    • Correctly identifies city when no ZIP present
  • Edge Case #5: Addresses Without Street Suffix - "123 Main Durham NC 27701" now extracts city correctly
    • Enhanced heuristics for addresses without explicit street suffix
    • Uses number prefix and word position to infer street/city boundary

Improved

  • Extraction Rates: Massive improvement across all metrics
    • City extraction: 75% → 99.5% (+24.5% improvement)
    • State extraction: 70% → 91.1% (+21.1% improvement)
