Operator name was not always readable and ready to be exposed to the end-user.
Automatic clean-up of this field was implemented (i.e. cleaning up company-postfix like "GmbH" or "AB").
Soon we will do further improvements to make this field even better for end-users.
Both Drive API and the Swagger docs have new URLs! The API of course stays available also on the current URL.
Swagger on the previous URLs is not up to date for now, we will try to bring it in line with the new URL, though
please try to switch to the new one provided below (only Stage version will be used from now on).
Hopefully new domains will make it easier to access the API and documentation and differentiate between environments.
Drive API URL: https://drive-api.plugsurfing.com/ (https://drive-api-stage.plugsurfing.com/ for stage environment).

We've added openNow, max_amperage and max_voltage
fields to geosearch results.
openNow flag state is based on opening_hours and is a helper
so the timezone-based logic does not have to be implemented on client-side.
Together with status field can be used to display charger status in a better way.
Geosearch-route search area was smaller
than expected based on distance field.
Now both external and internal chargers, supporting remote-charging,
have this feature enabled. Some CPOs are still disabled, because
the integration wasn't working as well as expected. We're
in contact with them to resolve any issues.
Solved the case-sensitivity problem for request headers that could result in unintuitive errors.
Charging Key - added an error handler for the charging key patch endpoint to return more details about caught errors.
Subscriptions got a new endpoint which can be useful
for checking single subscription status or details.
New field was added to Charging Key Ordering endpoints called 'hasReceipt'.
Also, when fetching a receipt for a session, this variable is firstly checked
and an error is returned if the receipt is not available. Previously a non-working
url was sometimes returned.
Previously incorrect characters in address when ordering resulted
in 500 response code. This has been fixed and now 400 response with
a correct message will be returned.
In some cases power filtering would filter out valid stations.
Now the filtering works correctly for all stations.
For some locations this endpoint returned response very slowly or even timed out.
Location by id endpoint was improved, so the pricing returned
can take into account particular user's preferential pricing.
Subscriptions - now when subscribing or listing user's subscriptions more details
are returned like subscription name or start and end dates.
External chargers now have the possibility to start remote charging.
This is also reflected in the capabilities field in Geosearch results.
This change is enabled at first only for some CPOs, but the coverage will be extended over time.
Charging Key ordering was restructured to account for
multiple currencies and countries.
A quite big, summer release bringing many new features and a lot of under-the-hood improvements,
which will be continued and expanded in upcoming releases.
Charging Key ordering received new endpoints. Configuration endpoint let's you know
which countries and currencies are configured. Receipt endpoints gives you an url to get Receipt
if the order was successfully paid for.
Two new filtering options appeared in Geosearch Radius and Route endpoints:
There is now a possibility to permanently remove a user from our system.
There are some requirements described further in Users section.
We added a new section - User Feedback.
Right now only feedback regarding a single location or connector is possible,
but we plan to add other like session feedback.
Many chargers had "Missing" stated as operator name or address,
which was confusing for the users.
Now we are removing these values from those two fields.
Some connectors were duplicated
(we recognize it by having two connectors of the same type on one EVSE).
Now we remove them before returning the response.
