Who said you shouldn’t release software on a Friday? They clearly didn’t have the right spirit. Anyway, there’s a maintenance release for yente, which brings in some routine dependency upgrades and tiny fixes, but does not alter core functionality.

What’s Changed

  • Improved country/territory support (e.g. jurisdictions like ae-du now map to their main country)
  • Smaller Docker image by using multi-stage builds (thanks @legal90 !)
  • Expose an ASGI app that can be run by uvicorn directly (uvicorn yente.asgi:app)
  • Removed legacy (and confusing) fuzzy flag from /match API
  • Adopt pyproject.toml for Python library management

yente 4.2.2 made some changes to how the application is launched within the Docker container, which caused it not to boot up properly in certain deployment contexts.

There is now a new release, 4.2.3, which reverts a small change and should fix this issue. Please run docker compose pull or update the Docker image tag (https://www.opensanctions.org/faq/160/yente-upgrade/) if you’re having issues with running yente 4.2.2.

yente 4.2.2 switched from an ubuntu base image to a slim debian-based image.

This didn’t include curl, which is sometimes used for Docker Compose healthchecks.

We have released yente 4.2.4 making curl available at runtime again.
