OpenStreetMap Carto (default map on OSM.org)

The performance problem has been identified as something with road surface code, so for now we have released bugfix version v4.12.1 without this code:

https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2018-June/080867.html

We’re looking for more coders - not only for simple problems BTW, but that is for a start:

The new version of OSM Carto is available for a few days already, but is still not deployed on OSM.org website due to big infrastructure changes:

Some of my thoughts on OSM Carto development (part 1 - more to follow, I hope):

Oh, I forgot to mention v4.14.0, which is already deployed - first version update on OSMF servers since v4.11.0:

and new pattern generator version:

Here is my second article about map designing principles - this time it’s about the size:

New release (v4.15.0) is here:

The biggest changes are changing gastronomy objects color to orange and changing farmland and societal amenities colors. The changes are still waiting for OSM.org deployment.

Hi kocio,

thanks for information and thank you for all the activities working on carto!

By the way, when I just compared the iD-Editor and carto changelog info page:

https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

On the iD-Editor changelog list I noticed links to the involved pull requests for a lot of new added features.
Example: Add preset for sport=badminton (#5233, thanks @rene78)

Is this something you could also do for carto changelog page? Or does this need to much time to add?

Thanks for watching this.

Regards
AB

Hi!

It is something I thought of and it’s perfectly doable, but it makes release more tedious and error prone. It would need somebody willing to do this work. Would you like to join?

I try to focus on merging stuff and occasionally releases. The only way to make more than currently is via teamwork.

Hi
I have mapped boundary relations for State Forests e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8325800 and the adjacent National Park boundary.
However the State Forest boundary becomes indistinguishable when the wooded areas, which normally extend beyond the SF boundary, are also mapped.
National Park boundaries are still visible when wooded areas are mapped across the their boundary.
Is the rendering of protected areas yet to be resolved so that, for example, state forests boundaries are still visible like the national park boundaries?
If this is the relevant discussion, is it close to being resolved?
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/603

Edit: I have now read all the discussion in the link and see steady progress is continuing toward a good outcome soon.

I still plan to start rendering them. It just took some time to make research which proved that there’s no clear mapping between them and natural reserves, so they can’t be be unified, and after that there were a lot of other, more clear issues.

If you could do something with coding or testing, it would help a lot.

New release v4.16.0 is out:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/kocio/diary/45180

New release v4.17.0 is out with more changes than usually. Some of them are quite visible, like rendering natural areas from z5, dots for gastronomy objects on z17 or new icons for memorial subtags:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/kocio/diary/46993

New release v4.18.0 is out (it will probably start to roll out on OSMF servers this night):

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/kocio/diary/47284

Highlights include rendering healthcare tag scheme, changing natural=scrub color, changing landuse=allotments color and pattern, adding rendering for natural=cape and something special for the winter - rendering leisure=ice_rink. :slight_smile:

If anyone needs current set of low zoom OSM Carto tiles, Paul Norman offers them for download (from level 0 to 6, 8, 9 or 10):

New release v4.19.0 is out and as always I suspect it will start to roll out on OSMF servers tonight:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/kocio/diary/47491

It adds rendering for boundary=protected_area, makes boundaries of all the protected areas less aggressive, renders few icons for amenity=vending_machine, adds more barrier icons and (once again in a short time) changes allotments color and pattern - it’s fixing few more problems than previous pattern and I hope it will stay for a long time. It includes also many more additional tweaks and fixes than usually.

Thanks!
