  Junction=yes, =motorway and man_made=bridge labels now render before amenity-points This prevents icons from blocking the display of these text labels

• Remove rendering of waterway=wadi (#3931)

  The tag waterway=wadi is deprecated, suggested replacement: waterway=river/stream + intermittent=yes OR natural=valley

• Move parking to amenity-points layers, change way_pixels limit and initial zoom level (#3923)

Major changes

• Removed unused world_boundaries-spherical.tgz file from scripts

  This file can be safely removed and has not been used for some time.

  The script will handle the change automatically, but if manually downloading or using a different method, you will need to adjust paths.

• Started using ST_PointOnSurface for some label placements

  These changes are part of an effort to make it easier for forks using a vector tile architecture as well as reducing the duplication among POI layers. Some load has been shifted from Mapnik to the database.

  The new zooms are based on admin_level and size.

v2.35.0 - 2015-09-16

Changes

• Add new icon for ford
• Stop rendering of landuse=conservation
• Restore rendering of amenity=kindergarten/school/college/university/grave_yard names
• Various other bug fixes.

v2.34.0 - 2015-08-28

Changes

Changes include

• better rendering for highway=path/footway/cycleway - this is the next iteration of improving how footways and cycleways are displayed. Unpaved footways are now visible on natural=bare_rock and there are now three classes: paved, unpaved and unknown surface

• man_made=bridge is now rendered

• new rendering for landuse=quarry

• amenity=veterinary is now rendered

• amenity=community_centre is now rendered

• amenity=prison and landuse=military rendering takes in account area size

• consistent color for boundaries

• tweaked zoom level for amenity=car_sharing and amenity=car_rental

• Mapnik 3 preparations are now finished. The style now supports Mapnik 3. Most of the work was done on the Mapnik side.

v2.33.0 - 2015-08-14

Major changes

• A randomized symbology for forests for natural=wood and landuse=forest

  A long time in the works, this improvement has finally landed. The two tags were merged - they are indistinguishable to the data consumer. A randomized symbology was first suggested by SK53 at SOTM-EU 2014, and this feature would not have happened without his extensive research, or imagico's tools for creating an irregular but uniformly distributed and periodic dot pattern

• Unification of footway/path and rendering surface of them

  The mess that is highway=path is well-known, and it is necessary to do some kind of processing as a data consumer. A distinction is now made between paved and unpaved footways.

Changes

• Mapnik 3 preperations

  The style is not yet fullly tested with Mapnik 3 and we don't claim to support it, but several bugs were fixed. Most of the work was done on the Mapnik side

• Power area colour adjusted

v2.32.0 - 2015-07-31

New files

Shapefiles are now used for Antartic ice sheets

Changes

• Rendering minor roads and service rail later for mid-zoom clarity

  As all residential, unclassified, and service roads in a city became mapped the rendered view became over-crowded, bloblike, and difficult to read.

• Rendering of Antartic ice sheets from shapefiles

  Ice sheets in Antartica are a bit of a special case, and pre-generated shapefiles are now used

• No longer rendering proposed roads

• Better place label order

• meadow/grassland and orchard/vineyard color unification

• Render educational area borders later

• New POI icons
