v51.0

Standalone measuring app

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.

New Quests

• "Is this also here outside of winter?", asked for grit bins (#4749, #4754), by @FloEdelmann

Enhancements

• The standalone measure app now explains how to achieve optimal precision and warns if the potential for a measuring error becomes too big (#4655)
• Parking overlay: Support new street parking schema (#4664, #4768), sponsored by @gislars from OpenStreetMap Verkehrswende
• Parking overlay: Add option to specify that cars park on alternating sides (i.e. not enough space to park on both sides at the same time)
• Address overlay: Make entering addresses in places with no street names more efficient (#4718, #4751), by @Helium314
• Ask for kerbs also on traffic islands (#3786), by @arrival-spring
• Do not ask various quests for ways that only exist to connect an e.g. footway to the street-way (#4787)
• Notes: You can now preview the to be attached photos by tapping on them (#2497, #4797), by @Helium314
• The name and location of a place is now also shown in the undo dialog (#4767, #4772), by @Helium314
• Other small enhancements, improved wordings, ... (#4762, #4750, #2880, #4765, #4710, #4781, #4745, #4800...), thanks @matkoniecz, @FloEdelmann, @Helium314, @dbdean
