Major rewrite of road and railway rendering, as part of Mateusz Konieczny's Google Summer of Code project. See https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2015/10/30/openstreetmap-org-map-changing/ for more information.

  • amenity=car_wash
  • historic=wayside_cross and man_made=cross
  • shop=bag
  • shop=outdoor
  • power=plant (labels)

• Various other bug fixes.

v2.34.0 - 2015-08-28

Changes

Changes include

• better rendering for highway=path/footway/cycleway - this is the next iteration of improving how footways and cycleways are displayed. Unpaved footways are now visible on natural=bare_rock and there are now three classes: paved, unpaved and unknown surface

• man_made=bridge is now rendered

• new rendering for landuse=quarry

• amenity=veterinary is now rendered

• amenity=community_centre is now rendered

• amenity=prison and landuse=military rendering takes in account area size

• consistent color for boundaries

v2.33.0 - 2015-08-14

Major changes

• A randomized symbology for forests for natural=wood and landuse=forest

  A long time in the works, this improvement has finally landed. The two tags were merged - they are indistinguishable to the data consumer. A randomized symbology was first suggested by SK53 at SOTM-EU 2014, and this feature would not have happened without his extensive research, or imagico's tools for creating an irregular but uniformly distributed and periodic dot pattern

• Unification of footway/path and rendering surface of them

  The mess that is highway=path is well-known, and it is necessary to do some kind of processing as a data consumer. A distinction is now made between paved and unpaved footways.

Changes

• Mapnik 3 preperations

  The style is not yet fullly tested with Mapnik 3 and we don't claim to support it, but several bugs were fixed. Most of the work was done on the Mapnik side

• Power area colour adjusted

v2.32.0 - 2015-07-31

New files

Shapefiles are now used for Antartic ice sheets

Changes

• Rendering minor roads and service rail later for mid-zoom clarity

  As all residential, unclassified, and service roads in a city became mapped the rendered view became over-crowded, bloblike, and difficult to read.

• Rendering of Antartic ice sheets from shapefiles

  Ice sheets in Antartica are a bit of a special case, and pre-generated shapefiles are now used

• No longer rendering proposed roads

• Better place label order

• meadow/grassland and orchard/vineyard color unification

• Render educational area borders later

• New POI icons
