Update 2026.03

This upcoming Vision update includes the latest New Zealand geography and Census data. Alongside this are some quality-of-life improvements.

We will take Vision offline for approximately thirty minutes on Monday, 30th of March, at 9pm (UK time). That's 4pm in New York, 1pm in L.A., and Tuesday, March 31st, at 7am in Sydney. This means that all services, including the API and FYN, will be offline at these times.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.

 

This update paves the way for us to update Vision in a fraction of the time. This will mean substantially less service disruption and system downtime. They may be required from time to time, but nowhere near as frequently as before.

This does mean a slight change to when data updates become available to use. As an example, for the upcoming New Zealand update, it will not be ready on Monday, March 30th, on the day/night of the update. It will be available from Friday, the 3rd of April.

This is because we handle the importing of demographics separately, with data drip-fed into the system over the days following the initial boundary update.
