New Features
Platform Upgraded to .NET 10
- WinPure Clean & Match Enterprise has been upgraded from .NET 8 to .NET 10, moving the platform onto the latest generation of Microsoft's .NET platform.
- The upgrade provides a modern technical foundation for continued improvements to performance, security, stability and future WinPure development.
New Frequency & Distribution Charts
- Column Value Analysis has been expanded with new Frequency & Distribution charts, providing a faster visual way to understand the contents and quality of a column.
- Users can quickly identify: Common and frequently occurring values, Unusual or unexpected values, Data concentrations, Outliers, Potential data quality issues and overall patterns within a dataset.
- This provides a much quicker visual understanding of data before cleansing, matching or further analysis.
New Live Search Across Data Tables & Matching Results
- A new ultra-fast Live Search capability has been introduced across Data Tables, Match and Match AI results.
- Users can instantly search records and values as they type, making it significantly faster to locate and investigate information, particularly when working with large datasets.
- Within Match and Match AI results, Live Search also makes it easier to quickly locate specific records and matched groups for review.
Default Date Option
- A new Default Date setting provides greater control over how date fields are handled when data is imported.
- Date Only: Dates are stored without a time component. Where imported values contain a time, the time can automatically be removed.
- Date & Time: Dates retain their time component, while imported dates without a time automatically receive a default time of 00:00.
- This provides more consistent date handling across datasets and reduces the need to manually standardise date values after import.

New Features
- All Editions - New - Added Rule Logic Option button for more control over data matching rules - Direct or Mixed:
General
- Direct Mode In Direct mode, the software checks each data matching rule one at a time, in the order you’ve set. This order can affect the results, so it’s important to carefully arrange the rules at the start to get the best match. You can also now drag and drop to rearrange the rules if required. This mode allows for more control over how matches are found but requires some attention to rule ordering.
- Mixed Mode In Mixed mode, all the data matching rules are checked at once (similar to how an SQL "OR" statement works), so the order you set is less important. This mode is useful if you don’t need precise control over rule sequence, though it may take a bit longer to process due to the simultaneous checks.

Improvements
- All Editions - New - Data Matching engine v2, featuring enhanced and faster data matching. All Editions - New - Data Matching rules improvment All Editions - New - Global Address Parsing: This new feature splits global addresses into the following component parts.
General
- All Editions - New - Entity Resolution (Entity AI) module featuring:
- Entity-Centric Learning - WinPure ER will retain history and attribute variations for each entity as it resolves new records against existing entities e.g., learning every name, address and phone variation. Over time, based on the accumulated variations, the software learns nicknames, alternative email addresses, common typographical errors, etc., including intentionally fabricated information. WinPure ER uses its entity-centric learning when comparing records during ER. Entity-centric learning is what allows it to make higher quality ER decisions than most other systems that use the more popular, but very basic, record-to-record matching. This is critical for catching clever criminals.2.
- Global name recognition – IBM Global Name Management comparison technology is built into WinPure ER software. This culturally-aware name library, pretrained on 800M global names, was created over decades by a team of linguists at a cost of tens of millions of dollars. WinPure ER immediately understands synonyms e.g., Bob and Robert or Elizabeth and Liz, and transliterations e.g., Mohamed, Mohammed, Mhd and dozens of other spellings. It also resolves names across different alphabets and scripts, e.g., Arabic, Mandarin and Roman. We have a similar function in the Knowledge base Library which cover 950 names, so this is quite significant!
- Global address comparison – WinPure ER uses global address parsing and normalization, to assess address similarity with uncanny precision and wrapped with custom logic that provides exceptional matching accuracy and eliminates the need to pre-parse address data prior to loading. Although this is tied into the EntityAI, we will be able to use this eventually on the Split/Addresses, to replace our current US address split feature.
- Anomaly Detection - WinPure ER actively tracks feature statistics in real time as it resolves and relates entities. Based on the information it has seen to date, the software keeps detailed statistics about its entity repository, e.g., it contains approximately 150M males, 500 people with the same DOB, and exactly seven people who have lived at 123 Main Street.
- house: venue name e.g. “Brooklyn Academy of Music”, and building names e.g. “Empire State Building”
- category: for category queries like “restaurants”, etc.
- near: phrases like “in”, “near”, etc. used after a category phrase to help with parsing queries like “restaurants in Brooklyn”
- house_number: usually refers to the external (street-facing) building number. In some countries this may be a compount, hyphenated number which also includes an apartment number, or a block number (a la Japan), but libpostal will just call it the house_number for simplicity.
- road: street name(s)
- unit: an apartment, unit, office, lot, or other secondary unit designator
- po_box: post office box: typically found in non-physical (mail-only) addresses
- postcode: postal codes used for mail sorting
- suburb: usually an unofficial neighborhood name like “Harlem”, “South Bronx”, or “Crown Heights”
- city_district: these are usually boroughs or districts within a city that serve some official purpose e.g. “Brooklyn” or “Hackney” or “Bratislava IV”
- city: any human settlement including cities, towns, villages, hamlets, localities, etc.
- state_district: usually a second-level administrative division or county.
- state: a first-level administrative division. Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England in the UK are mapped to “state” as well (convention used in OSM, GeoPlanet, etc.)
- country: sovereign nations and their dependent territories, anything with an ISO-3166 code.
