Just curious, you mention the old map renderer no longer supports modern iOS, yet StreetComplete is for Android. Is iOS support a future goal? |

Yes. See #5421 |

To be precise, the map renderer tangram-es does work on iOS, but uses the OpenGL ES graphics API to render the map. Now, since a couple of years, Apple declared OpenGL ES on iOS deprecated, developers should rather use their own graphics API called Metal. So, while apps that use tangram-es for map rendering may still run on modern iOS devices, it is unclear for how much longer. Meanwhile, even Android is replacing OpenGL ES with Vulkan in the coming years. So, the migration TBH has primarily been done because tangram-es is just not maintained anymore, bugs are not fixed, the library is not adapted to modern standards etc. but also because it is another step to eventually reach an iOS port of StreetComplete. MapLibre-native does support Metal, and Vulkan support is being added. The project is in very active development and basically the open source industry standard when it comes down to displaying vector tiled maps (based on OSM data). |

Would a quest similar to the new "What is the width of the opening here?" be possible for barrier=cycle_barrier regarding the passableness of cargo bikes, wheelchairs etc? Or is it too difficult to judge whether they can pass since it often does not simply depend on max width? |

@westnordost I guess this means we need new project screenshots for the readme. Should I give that a go? 🤔 |

website/android play preview also may need new ones, in multiple languages |

Thank you, but oh, not that much changed yet. And it is a lot of work, because I did create them for many different languages. It also needs to be done with a specific (virtual) device to fit the frame displayed on https://streetcomplete.app/ I think this should rather be done later, when I also ported the main screen controls and other things visible in the screenshots, e.g. the quest bubble ball pit will need to be replaced with something different, see #5595 |

I gave it a go on my phone. But it's kinda hard to find the same content. But now reading this, I don't think you can use them :D Btw: I think it looks great on https://streetcomplete.app/ with the phone around, but it looks odd to have the status bar on top and the “pull up” bar on the bottom in the readme - kinda like we don't know how to crop a screenshot ;) |

Yeah, sorry, I can't use them. Thank you for your effort though. If I remember correctly, a few years ago I made them with a very specific Android emulator, I think Pixel6. When I re-do them (or someone else re-does them), probably it is best to use also a Pixel6 (emulator). |

Just wanna say thank you. The panning, zooming is now so(!) much more smooth on my 3 yo midrange smartphone. Great job! |

Thank you for testing the alpha, guys! I didn't expect anyone would download and test it (apart from the devs) |

Interestingly on my 10 year old midrange phone I had the opposite impression (with an older MapLibre version though) |

As I said on the SCEE discussion area, the transition with the alpha has been extremely smooth for me. No crashes, and only minor hiccoughs in the form of the weird missing underground fire hydrant icon problem and the overlay icons in the things overlay showing up with grey backgrounds rather than white. Both now fixed. Clearly it's been a lot of hard work over the last few months. It is appreciated. |

There's been a report of rendering issues in of the caron in response to the alph, but it sounds like the issues it not related to the alpha itself but being there for a while now, if I understand him correctly: Screenshots
I've asked him to create a bug report dedicated to this, just in case he doesn't pick up on that: can someone confirm this? Source: https://x.com/rudolfs58991170/status/1826240104991760839 |

though #5006 (comment) is now confusing 0 has they tested with MapLibre? |

Not sure, but the alpha looks fine to me. But I'm not sure if it was broken before - don't see a lot of carons in Germany |

I've added comment to #5006 (comment) - yes, display of those carons and similar is broken on Tangram-ES (on Android 13 and above only) and work fine in MapLibre. So, it should fix their problem automatically when 59.0 gets released. |

There seems to be some issues at the app start. SC just crashed 3 times in startup without even showing, forth time worked fine and is stable now. |

The text is set to Maybe there is some sort of cache involved. For me even the compose preview shows the wrong number. |

Quite possible, IMHO. |

"There are only two hard things in Computer Science; cache invalidation and naming things and one-off errors" ? I have seen some weird caching issues in Android Studio at times. At some points I ended deleteting repo (except .git) and doing git reset to force AS into noticing that files changed (it kept building my personal fork version partially with normal version release id, what was breaking photo-taking...). |

🗺️ MapLibre (#5693), by @Helium314 and me
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.
