# 2.1.14

Release date: May 1, 2023.

We are pleased to announce the release of Screena API version 2.1.14, with a number of new features and improvements to enhance your experience with Screena.

## :sparkles: New Features

* **Record category filter**: A new algorithm `categoryAlgo` has been added to include or exclude matches for specific record categories. This algorithm functions similarly to `entityTypeAlgo` and can be used, for example, to narrow the scope of searches to specific PEP categories such as Close Associate, Diplomat, or Judge.
* **Identity document matching**: A new identifier-matching algorithm `identityDocumentAlgo` has been added to match identity document numbers. This algorithm comes with a new algorithm type `pattern` that allows identifying strings of characters that match a specific pattern while ignoring those that do not. It matches the input string with a pattern that includes an obscured version of the string, with only certain visible characters. Here are three examples that illustrate how this algorithm type works:

<table><thead><tr><th width="316">Identity Document Number Source</th><th width="306.3333333333333">Identity Document Number Target</th><th>Outcome</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>458.211.389-12</td><td>***.211.389-**</td><td>Match</td></tr><tr><td>458.211.389-12</td><td>***.058.029-**</td><td>No match</td></tr></tbody></table>

## :magic\_wand: Improvements

* **Value controls**: New controls have been added to ensure that the values provided for the following search parameters are always valid:

  1. dataset labels,
  2. entity types specified with the `entityTypeAlgo` algorithm parameters `include` and `exclude`.

  If any invalid value is used with these search parameters, an error will now be returned.
* **Stopword handling**: Screena now guarantees that a hit is always returned if a name provided within a narrative field, consisting entirely of stopwords, is an exact or near-exact match with a watchlist record.

## :screwdriver: Bug Fixes

* **Names combined with numbers**: In some cases, names combined with numbers within narratives (e.g., '140 Repair Plant') prevented potential true matches. This issue has now been resolved.

## :globe\_with\_meridians: Watchlist Coverage

* **Public watchlists**: Screena's out-of-the-box watchlist coverage has been extended to include 3 new lists:

<table><thead><tr><th width="249">Dataset Label</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>USA SPECIAL MEASURES</td><td><p><a href="https://www.fincen.gov/resources/statutes-and-regulations/311-special-measures">US 311 and 9714 Special Measures</a></p><p><span data-gb-custom-inline data-tag="emoji" data-code="1f1fa-1f1f8">🇺🇸</span> United States • Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN)</p></td></tr><tr><td>USA CUBA RESTRICTED LIST</td><td><p><a href="https://www.state.gov/cuba-restricted-list/list-of-restricted-entities-and-subentities-associated-with-cuba-effective-january-8-2021/">US List of Restricted Entities and Subentities Associated with Cuba</a></p><p><span data-gb-custom-inline data-tag="emoji" data-code="1f1fa-1f1f8">🇺🇸</span> United States • Department of States – Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs</p></td></tr><tr><td>SINGAPORE</td><td><p><a href="https://www.mas.gov.sg/regulation/anti-money-laundering/targeted-financial-sanctions/lists-of-designated-individuals-and-entities">Singapore First Schedule of the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act</a></p><p><span data-gb-custom-inline data-tag="emoji" data-code="1f1f8-1f1ec">🇸🇬</span> Singapore • Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.screena.ai/resources/release-notes/2.1.14.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
