Release Highlights
Country List Update (ISO 3166-1 Compliance)
✨ What's New
We have updated the system to handle and align country references with the ISO 3166-1 standard for improved consistency across all data sources and displays.

How It Works
✅ Backward-Compatible: If you continue using the previous country list (v1), the system automatically maps entries to their corresponding values in the ISO 3166-1 standard.
✅ Recommended: If you adopt the ISO 3166-1 list directly, your data will be processed without issue and remain consistent across the platform.
How does the System Handles Legacy vs. Latest Country Names?
Automatic Replacement: Suppose a legacy country name has a direct replacement (e.g., Swaziland → Eswatini). In that case, the system will automatically map and display the updated name (e.g., Eswatini) in the UI, including on the Detail Page, Listing Page, and other areas.
Legacy Display with Guidance: The original name will still be shown for legacy country names without a direct one-to-one mapping, such as the Netherlands Antilles. However, we recommend mapping to the corresponding updated countries where possible.
Impact on Data Display
Data with one-to-one mapping
Displays the latest country name (e.g., Eswatini)
No Direct Mapping (One-to-Many)
Displays the legacy name (e.g., Netherlands Antilles)
However, we recommend mapping to the corresponding updated countries where possible.
