There are a bunch of updates to the Pipes Editor to tell you about including three new modules and many new and improved features.

Introducing the new Modules:

• The Location Module creates a location object from a string value and understands most common address formats including zipcodes and many major airport codes. Click on any of the previous links to see examples.
• The Date Builder Module can create a date object from a string value. It understands most common date formats as well as relative date formats such as yesterday and 2 days ago. Here’s an example Pipe that uses the Date Builder module to filter items in a feed by a specific date.
• We added a Simple Math Module that performs basic arithmetic, such as addition and subtraction. Here’s an example of the Simple Math module in action.

Here’s a list of the additional changes:

• We added a new status message area at the top of the Editor.
• Modules that contain date selection fields now include a date picker. We integrated the Yahoo! UI Calendar component.
  
• There’s a new look to the field selectors and drop downs.
  
• Most browsers should be faster when drawing lines.
• Finally, for users running Safari we’ve squashed a bug that made it difficult to connect inner terminal fields within modules.
