v0.10.0

• Release date: 2016-05-04.
• Paths get a significant makeover in the roads layer:
  • Many path, footway, and cycleway features are visible earlier up to zoom 11, based on their designation as or inclusion in walking and cycling networks.
  • If a track, major road, or minor road is part of a walking or cycling network it is also visible earlier.
  • Some footway and stair features are visible later than before at zoom 15.
  • Add footway property to disentangle sidewalk and crossing features from other footways.
  • Add walking_network property with values in iwn, nwn, rwn, and lwn to indicate features's international to local significance.
  • Add other additional properties: bicycle, foot, horse, tracktype, incline, trail_visibility and sac_scale.
  • Most paths are now named on introduction, before they were only available at zoom 14+.
  • See #593, #596, and #775.
• Add bicycle properties to the roads layer:
  • Add is_bicycle_related property, set to true when road is a cycleway, part of a cycling network, or has bicyle lanes or other cycling related infrastrucure.
  • Add bicycle_network property with values in icn, ncn, rcn, and lcn to indicate features's international to local significance.
  • Add properties for cycleway, cycleway_left, cycleway_right, oneway_bicycle, and segregated.
  • See #647.

  • battlefield, beach_resort, boat_storage, caravan_site, dam, dog_park, firepit, fishing_area, fort, monument, picnic_site, recreation_track, rock, scree, stone, summer_camp, swimming_area, and water_park.

• Add outdoor related lines to the roads layer.
  • portage_way
  • See #677.
• Add dam to the boundaries layer, and removed it from the water layer. See #663 and #773.
• Add waterfall features to the pois layer:
  • Includes height value in integer meters.
  • Zoom visibility is based on waterfall height: taller than 300 meters are visible at zoom 12 and waterfalls with height less than 50 meters are visible at zoom 14.
  • See
    #677.
• Modified peak features in the pois layer:
  • Add new elevation value in integer meters.
  • Show some tall peaks at earlier zooms.
  • Add tile_kind_rank for peaks to throttle visibility of dense peak clusters.
  • See #523 and #524.
• Add intermittent property to water layer features:
  • Value of yes allows styling to distingish streams that do not run year round.
  • See
    #668.
• Add whitewater related points to the pois layer:
  • putin, egress, put_in_egress, hazard and rapid.
  • Related: portage_way features added in the roads layer.
  • See #599.
• Add bicycle_junction features in pois layer:
  • A common European feature in signed bicycle routes with named junctions, these features are added at zoom 16.
  • The cycle network reference point's ref value is derived from one of icn_ref, ncn_ref, rcn_ref or lcn_ref, in descending order and is suitable for naming or use in a shield.
  • See #592.
• Add cycle_barrier features to the pois layer at zoom 18. See #592.
• Modify existing bicycle related features in pois layer:
  • bicycle shops are now visible earlier at zoom 15.
  • bicycle_rental is now visible at zoom 16.
  • bicycle_rental_station are split off from bicycle_rental shops and are visible at zoom 17. They include additional properties for capacity (an integer value), network, operator, and ref.
  • Features of kind bicycle_parking gain additional properties for access, capacity, covered, fee, operator, maxstay, and surveillance.
  • See #592.
• Add features of kind walking_junction to the pois layer:
  • Walking junctions are common in Europe for signed walking routes with named junctions, added at zoom 16.
  • The walking network reference point's ref value is derived from one of iwn_ref, nwn_ref, rwn_ref or lwn_ref, in descending order and is suitable for naming or use in a shield.
  • See #592.
• Add island, islet, and archipelago label placement points to the earth layer. See #399.
• Add cliff and arete lines to earth layer. See #601.
• Add label placement lines for ridge and valley to the earth layer. See #601.
• Move continent label placements to the earth layer from the places layer, a breaking change. See #703.
• Move ocean and sea label positions to the water layer from the places layer, a breaking change. See #148.
• Normalize kind values in the boundaries layer, a breaking change:
  • Match Natural Earth kind values to those coming from OpenStreetMap.
  • Remove junk statistical boundaries.
  • Remove Natural Earth's type property.
  • See #517 and #687.
• Normalize kind values in the water layer, a breaking change:
  • Match Natural Earth kind valeus to those coming from OpenStreetMap.
  • Example 1: use kind ocean instead of Ocean
  • Example 2: use kind lake with reservoir:yes instead of Reservoir.
  • Example 3: use kind ocean with boundary:yes instead of Coastline.
  • See #628 and
    #680
• Add sources to the earth layer:
  • Indicate naturalearth.com, openstreetmapdata.com, or openstreetmap.org as source.
  • See #737
• Bug fixes:
  • Identify yes kind pois to their respective values, including generic office. See #705.
  • Don't merging lines in the roads layer at zoom 16 (the max zoom). See #766.
  • Line merging in the roads layer should produce long lines, not many 2 segment lines. See #768.
  • Removed reference to non-existant highway=minor and highway=footpath in roads layer queries. See #680.
• Refactor how we calculate kind values using YAML config files across all layers to provide more determinism and eliminate yes values. Follow on to v0.9 changes in #580 and #282. See #646 and #687
• Update how we handle OpenStreetMap data updates via planet_osm_rels triggers. See #711.
• Requires: tileserver v0.6.1 and tilequeue v0.9.0 and TileStache v0.10.0
