Oh! Again such a monster update!
Migrated from the map renderer tangram-es to MapLibre. The former has effectively been unmaintained for quite a few years and does not support modern iOS, this solves some long-standing display and crash issues.
Display-wise, nothing much should change, the map will just look and behave a little different.
Issues solved by the migration are #5601, #5241, #5216, #5161, #5146, #5137, #5048, #5027, #5006, #4844, #4830, #4556, #4554, #4550, #4542, #4522, #4277, #4259, #4026, #3417, #3397, #3346, #3275, #3022, #2878, #2711, #2703, #2612, #2571, #2373, #2359, #2358, #2187, #1713, #1684, #1264, #1019, #869, #807, #318, #179, mapstyle#119, mapstyle#56... maybe more. Thanks to @riQQ for this list.
In case you wondered what happened since I announced to work on an iOS version of the app. I've taken some big steps forward, see this progress update for more info. Most of it is behind the scenes, but what's visible is the completely redone UI for the settings screens, about screens, statistics screens and tutorial screens (#5719, #5855). Of course, it looks mostly the same now, as it should.

Take cover! For you don't want to be squashed by this m-m-mega phat update, or do you?
The new Buildings overlay now lets you comprehensively view and edit building types all around town, color-coded for your convenience! Conversely, the building type quest is disabled by default now as it was really spammy, don't you think?
(You'll be amazed and/or appalled how many buildings are currently actually tagged wrong or imprecise! 😅)
The new Things overlay allows you to map all those small map features like benches, bicycle parkings, roadside trees, ATMs and other street furniture in general.
It complements the Places Overlay which has been renamed from Shop overlay because it now also lets you map places that are not shops - like hotels, hospitals, schools and so forth. (#5152)

Some work towards an iOS port of StreetComplete has begun - starting with making the code more platform independent for now. (Monitor the linked tickets for updates, because non user-facing changes are usually not mentioned in the changelogs)

Translations to Turkish, Malayalam, Amharic, Armenian, Bosnian, Norwegian Nyorsk, Galician and Japanese haven't been maintained for over half a year.
As a native speaker of any of these languages, you can help translate the app in order to retain this translation in the app.
To avoid an awkward mix of properly localized and English texts all over the app that wouldn't be usable by people who do not understand both languages, languages whose translation completeness becomes too low are removed from the app and only re-added when they reach near 100% again.

Measuring distances with the camera has been outsourced into a standalone app, so you can also measure things outside of the context of solving quests: StreetMeasure
This has been done for licensing reasons (see #4289). In a nutshell, ARCore (= Google Play Services for AR), on which the measuring is dependent on, is not open source.
This is why it is also not available on the main repo in F-Droid. If you do not have Google Play, you can download the APK from GitHub, but then you also need to install ARCore.

A few things came together... this update contains what would usually be in 4 or so releases! Enjoy!
The most efficient way to map addresses on-site, even in places where no buildings are mapped yet!
You can add addresses to buildings, edit existing ones and also add them at any new position, using the same sleek UI as for the address quests.
Easily map and check what shops exist in your local shopping area!

- 2x to 8x times faster display of quest pins and overlays
- 2x to 3x times faster showing of quest details

This is for advanced users who want to be more efficient in adding and maintaining certain data area-wide. Read more in this blog post!

Note that the track can only be recorded while the app is in foreground. So, it is not meant to replace tools like GPS Logger but to help locate short missing path segments and similar.

Furthermore, the only thing the compass button now does is to rotate the view back to north-up and it is only displayed if the map is not displayed north-up.

The grant from the Prototype Fund ended in February, however, there is one last big mega-update I can delight you with before development on this app must necessarily wind down:
It may not look like a lot, but I basically replaced the whole architecture of the app (#2506, ...) to do this. Note that this required dropping most local data, such as unsynced edits, downloaded quests and statistics.
Special thanks to @FloEdelmann for helping with the refactor.
- You can now undo any edit that hasn't been uploaded yet:
quest answers, split ways, deleted places, hidden quests, created notes and note comments (#1029, #2616) - You can now look at your edit history and undo any recent edit in any order, not just the last one
- It is now shown what exactly is tagged for each edit in the edit history
- You can now undo deletions of places even after you have uploaded it (#2441)
- Immediately unlock new quests based on the one you just solved, even when offline. This has been a much requested feature but was simply not possible with the previous architecture (#1369, #1510, #1550, #1826, #2254, #2438, #2473, #2474, #2676, #2743...)
- The above also works when splitting a way. The quests for the split segments will be shown immediately
- When you scan for quests manually, no cache will be used: you always get the freshest data (#2554)
- When unable to fully upload pictures attached to a note due to a bad connection, the app will try again later (#2102)

If you have auto-sync on (the default), this does not concern you, as all edits are uploaded immediately.
Due to big changes under the hood, when you upgrade to the next major version, local edits will be dropped! The next major version v32.0 will be in beta not earlier than in 2nd week of April.

Lockdown fatigue? You could go on a walk together with your roommate or partner – with the team mode, you can evenly divide up all quests among yourselves and map together!
It also works for groups of up to twelve people, but maybe wait with that until the pandemic is over 😷. Happy mapping!

To download not at your current GPS location but somewhere else, just pan and zoom to that location and tap "search for quests here" in the menu.

Quest types whose answer is likely to change over the years will be asked again in reasonable intervals. So now you can help not only to complete the map, but also to keep it up-to-date, which is at least as important.
Most prominently, you'll be asked if opening hours are still the same as before and be offered to correct them if they changed, the same with cycle tracks and lanes on roads.
This feature has been sponsored by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as part of their new microgrants program. You can support the OSMF and other initiatives like these and have a say by becoming a member, if you like.

Big thanks to JawgMaps, a provider of online custom maps, geocoding and routing based on OpenStreetMap data. They are providing their vector map tiles service to StreetComplete for free!
Their maps are also quite excellent: You can look forward to daily map updates and map loading times cut in half, as their map data is very lightweight.
But let's not forget to thank @Akasch for hosting the previous solution with zero budget over the last years and maintaining it in his free time. Without his endeavor, there likely wouldn't have been a map at all in this time.
