Adjusted subjects elements are better aligned with https://www.congress.gov/help/field-values/policy-area and https://www.congress.gov/help/field-values/legislative-subject-terms. Get background about subject terms from https://www.congress.gov/help/faq/find-bills-by-subject
Please please come up with a versioning policy that's not "we'll post the changelog after your site breaks".
As in #23, I would appreciate it if you could leave issues like these open until (all) the published XML is correct (in this case, until all published files match the new schema). h/t @pqnelson (https://github.com/unitedstates/congress/issues/180#issuecomment-247375930)
We'll begin reprocessing 113 today.
Thanks.
Looks like 114sres259 and 162 other bills have reverted back to the old schema. See the referenced issue above this comment for more details. h/t @krues8dr
Reprocessing 163 BILLSTATUS files from the 114th Congress that were not updated with the original reprocess.
In 114hr5714 and three other files, the subjects have moved around and don't match the documented format.
^ should not look anything like that.
