v1.3.0

  • Release date: 2017-05-04. Live on prod 2017-05-08.

  • Requires: tileserver v2.0.0 and tilequeue v1.7.0 and mapbox-vector-tile v1.2.0.

    ENHANCEMENTS

    • Show important cycling and walking routes at earlier zooms by adjusting the min_zoom of path, major_road, and minor_road cycling and walking related features in the roads layer. This means that min_zoom values are now variable for features of the same kind, depending on their importance in the bicycle and walking networks; in earlier releases they all shared the same min_zoom. See #1172.
    • Add shields for bicycle, walking, and bus networks with new bicycle_network, walking_network, bus_network, bicycle_shield_text, walking_shield_text, bus_shield_text, and all_* variants onto road layer features. See #775, #1175, and #1214.
    • Add bicycle property to non-path road layer features to more accurately reflect is_bicycle_related routes (eg for ways tagged bicycle=designated). See #1171.
    • Add surface property to roads layer features. See #1020.
    • Add ramp and ramp_bicycle property to roads layer features. See #1147.
    • Remove motor_vehicle, horse and some other properties at low- and mid-zooms in roads layer. See #1224 and #1214.
    • Improve line merging in roads and other layers to reduce tile file size and improve rendering performance. See #1191.
    • Add colour_name property for transit layer features. See #1190.
    • Show large piers earlier in landuse layer. See #1178.
    • Remove many pois layer features when they lack a name (but many others are whitelisted as no-name okay). See #1186 and #1218.

    BUG FIXES

    • Fix spelling of ~60 locality (city) names at low-zooms in places layer. #1140.
    • Small gardens (in Edinburgh and elsewhere) should not be visible at mid-zooms in pois layer. #1185.
    • Some pois layer features were missing their tier property. See #1208.
    • Remove natural_forest, natural_wood, and village_green from pois layer, a documented breaking bug fix associated with the v1.0 release. Their label points are now found in the landuse layer. See #1103.
    • Fix test failures based on upstream OpenStreetMap data changes.
    • NOTE: while the v1.3.0 release was tagged correctly the VERSION file was stuck at v1.2.0 leading to the incorrectly report in Python installs as v1.2.0.

v1.2.0

  • Release date: 2017-03-23. Live on prod 2017-03-27.
  • Requires: tileserver v1.4.0 and tilequeue v1.6.0 and mapbox-vector-tile v1.2.0.
  • Generate less-complex MultiPolygons by limiting the number of features that can be merged into a single MultiPolygon (defaults to 1000). This can have a large impact on geometric topology checks for file formats like MVT. See #1176.
  • Move merging of landuse polygons after roads intercut, to improve intercut performance. See #1177.
  • Drop small inner polygons, to improve downstream performance. See #1180.
  • Fix test failures based on OpenStreetMap data changes and 2x2 metatiles where unit of work for some operations like tile_kind_rank is now 512px instead of 256px. See #1182.

v1.1.0

v1.0.3

v1.0.2

v1.0.1

v1.0.0

v1.0.0-pre2

  • Release date: 2016-08-31 (dev build only as public preview)

  • See detailed Breaking changes, New features, Bug fixes, and Internal Changes sections below.

  • Requires: tileserver v0.8.0-pre2 and tilequeue v0.11.0-pre2

    BREAKING CHANGES (v1.0.0-pre2)

  • all layers: Revert to 2 letter language codes to remove client 3-char to 2-char shim logic, with better fallbacks. (#972)

  • boundaries, places, and roads layers: Remove raw Natural Earth scalerank (see min_zoom instead) and labelrank properties. (#992)

  • buildings layer: remove label placements from low- and mid-zooms, keep at zoom 16+. (#679)

  • landuse layer: Low- and mid-zoom landuse polygons are now merged within the same kind values to significantly reduce file size. Some properties, like name, id, sport, religion, and surface are dropped, and the area is recalculated for new combo polygons. Planned work will add back some detail by adding scale_rank classes pre-merge (matching buildings layer behavior). (#583)

  • landuse layer: Remove label placements for cemetery, farm, forest, forest, golf_course, grave_yard, military, national_park, natural_forest, natural_wood, nature_reserve, park, pitch, plant, protected_area, quarry, recreation_ground, substation, village_green, wastewater_plant, water_works, winter_sports, wood, works features, moving them to pois layer. Remaining label placements are recommended for text only label treatment.(#742)

  • landuse layer: remove label placements from low- and mid-zooms, keep at zoom 15+. (#679)

  • places layer: Additional locality changes for places layer to normalize place layer kinds: capital changes to country_capital, state_capital changes to region_capital, scientific_station localities get their own kind_detail, and other bug fixes for (#840). (#931)

  • pois layer: Remove the cuisine property (see new kind_detail instead). (#719)

  • pois layer: Modify default min_zoom for gate features. Gates on major roads are now visible at zoom 14, gates on intermediate roads at zoom 15, gates on minor roads at zoom 16, and gates not on roads at zoom 17 (was all zoom 15). (#820)

  • roads layer: Remove aerialway, highway, piste_type, railway, in favor of coalescing their values into a new kind_detail property (and change incorrect subkind reference in documentation to kind_detail). (#970)

  • transit layer: rename root_relation_id property to root_id, matching new building layer configuration. (#969 and #653)

  • water layer: Remove duplicative and poor resolution sea polygons (but keep their label centroids) to save Venice and other cities from early global warming! This also addressed excessive sea labels in most Mapzen house styles. (#951)

    NEW FEATURES (v1.0.0-pre2)

  • tilejson: Major upgrade to reflect all layers and properties. (#938)

  • versioning: Add semantic versioning (semver) document detailing the promises Tilezen makes about major, minor, and patch versions and data model changes. (#948)

  • buildings layer: Building parts may receive a root_id corresponding to the building feature, if any, with which they intersect. (#653)

  • landuse layer: Add graveyard features. (#742)

  • landuse layer: Add camp_site features for camp grounds. (#875)

  • pois layer: Add cemetery, farm, forest, forest, golf_course, military, national_park, natural_forest, natural_wood, nature_reserve, park, pitch, plant, protected_area, quarry, recreation_ground, substation, village_green, wastewater_plant, water_works, winter_sports, wood, works features with adjusted zoom ranges over their previous availability in the landuse layer as label placements. All remaining label placements in the landuse layer are no longer recommended for icon label treatment. (#742)

  • pois layer: Add graveyard features. (#742)

  • pois layer: Add art gallery features. (#990)

  • pois layer: Add kind_detail property sourced from sport for pitch features and sourced from cuisine for biergarten, pub, bar, restaurant, fast_food, cafe kinds (removing the cuisine property). (#719)

  • roads layer: To support highway shields a new shield_text property has been added, network values have been normalized (and bicycle networks are now excluded). An example: for "US 101" we now store network of US:US and shield_text of 101. Multiple shields are supported via optional all_networks and all_shield_texts lists (which work in GeoJSON and TopoJSON but not MVT formats, follow mapbox-vector-tile/#64 for a fix). The ref property remains available but is less useful for shield construction. (#192 and #896)

    BUG FIXES (v1.0.0-pre2)

  • all layers: Support fractional zoom for POIs, places, and other featues which were only appearing at the next whole integer tile, and rounds min_zoom values to 2 decimal places. For example: a feature with min_zoom of 14.8 was only appearing in zoom 15 tiles when it should have appeared in the zoom 14 tile. (#976)

  • boundaries layer: Correct bug where sort_key mapping wasn't updated for new boundary kind values from v1.0.0-pre1. (#1012)

  • places layer: Adjust default zoom ranges for Natural Earth localities at the low-zooms and Natural Earth and OpenStreetMap localities at mid- and high-zooms. (#981 and #982)

  • places layer: Exclude region_capital=false properties. (#1003 and #931)

  • pois layer: Add OpenStreetMap source attribution per feature. (#922)

  • pois layer: Show large camp_site features at earlier zooms. (#875)

  • pois layer: Removed transit halt, station, stop, and tram_stop features marked as historic. (#661)

  • pois and landuse layers: Normalize operator values for United States National Park Service, United States Forest Service, and National Parks & WildlWildlifeife Service NSW in the U.S.A. and Australia. (#927)

  • roads layer: Pedestrian paths and piers were missing bicycle: designated and related tags. Now that they are exported, they are correctly also decorated as is_bicycle_related: True. (#832)

  • roads layer: Add additional properties sidewalk_left and sidewalk_right to all road layer features. (#605 and #986)

  • roads layer: Remove crossing, sidewalk, sidewalk_left and sidewalk_right properties for road merge. (#993)

  • roads layer: Drop meaningless id property on merged features. (#952)

  • transit layer: Add OpenStreetMap source attribution per feature. (#935)

    DOCUMENTATION CHANGES (v1.0.0-pre2)

  • contributing: Adding a step to create a test_config.yaml file. (#1001)

    INTERNAL CHANGES (v1.0.0-pre2)

  • performance: Move label centroid calculation to database to reduce network pressure on the database (post processing transform needed too much geometry) in landuse, water, earth, and buildings layers. (#965)

  • performance: Add pois indexes for OpenStreetMap polygon and point tables to improve query time. (#983)

  • database: Convert Postgres PostGIS database to utilize osm2pgsql's --hstore-all option. (#876)

  • database: Convert Postgres PostGIS database projection to EPSG:3857. (#908)

  • database: Convert min_zoom properties to REAL from INT to support fractional values. (#976)

  • indexes: Update road indexes to refer to mz_road_level alone. (#956)

  • tests: Correct test failure for hotels as upstream data had changed. (#959)

  • tests: Ensure that when config_all_layers is set, the all layer is requested. (#974)

  • landuse and boundaries layers: Move barrier lines from boundaries layer into landuse layer. Includes city_wall, dam, fence, retaining_wall, and snow_fence. Watch out for dam which is now both a polygon and line in the same landuse layer. (#857)

  • buildings layer: Reclassify building layer kind values to only have building or building_part, moved the earlier kind values to new kind_detail property with a whitelist of values. (#842)

  • buildings layer: Reduce building payloads by merging buildings of similar type at zooms 13, 14, and 15 by dropping some properties like name, addr_housenumber, and addr_street, and quantizing others like height to 10 meters (zoom 13), 5 meters (zoom 14), and nearest meter (zoom 15). Also added new scalerank property with large buildings at 1 and small buildings at 5 to improve client-side style filtering & draw performance. (#845)

  • Remove landuse-labels layer in favor of label placements in landuse layer and pois features. (#852)

  • Use boolean values instead of 'yes' for properties likeosm_relation and label_placement. (#778)

  • Names that have been localized now use the l10n language codes (ala Who's On First) for all data sources. For example: name:en imported from OpenStreetMap is exported as name:eng. (#418)

  • Release date: 2016-01-19. Live in prod: 2015-01-25.
  • At mid and low zooms, roads have some properties dropped and are then merged together. This produces a huge reduction in the number of features in a tile and helps reduce both tile size and rendering time. Issue, Issue.
  • Gym / fitness POIs are now available with kind: fitness in the pois layer. Issue.
  • Swimming pools are now available with kind: swimming_pool in the water layer. Issue.

  • Remove neighbourhoods from OpenStreetMap.
  • Add kind_tile_rank to kind=station features to enable filtering out of less important transit stations at low zooms (to reduce crowding). Weights stations that are shown at lower zoom levels by lines going through them. Lower numbers = more important.
  • Stop duplicating building footprints into the landuse layer, and exclude building=no features. Include all building properties at all zooms (was limited to high zooms).
  • Use addr:housename as building name if feature is a POI
  • Add aerialway line features into the roads layer.
  • Add back missing roads on park and other landuse boundaries that went missing when landuse_kind intercut was added.
  • Add service levels to railroads features in roads layer to distinguish importance.
  • Updated High Road classifier (zoom range, sort order) for service roads, including pedestrian streets, paths, and forest tracks so they are visible earlier.
  • Add volume on building layer polygons to enable more sophisticated client-side filtering at mid zooms.
  • Add city_wall lines and barrier lines to boundaries layer.
  • Fix minor bug around missing water layer boundary lines.
  • Add area to water boundary lines (so filtering of boundary lines can match polygons).
  • Add townhall, laundry, dry_cleaner, and ferry_terminal to pois layer.
  • Move centroid calculation out of database to post-processing step

v0.4.1

v0.4.0

  • Release date: 2015-10-06. Live in prod: 2015-10-20.
  • Fix regression in v0.3.0 where zooms 0 to zoom 8 country and region (state, province) features from OpenStreetMap were dropped from tiles (rolling back a change in v0.2.0)
  • Greater diversity of label placements for POIs, landuse, and buildings result in more balanced selection of features visible at mid and high (neighborhood) zooms. The feature's minimum recommended visible zoom is now included as a property (eg: min_zoom=10.7763), useful for determining feature priority in client-side label collisions. Currently visibility should be calculated combined with area filters, we'll move that serverside in later releases.
  • Add label positions for water bodies to the water layer noted as label_position=yes.
  • Add label positions for buildings to the buildings layer noted as label_position=yes.
  • Landuse label positions are now additionally available in the landuse layer directly, noted with label_position=yes.
  • WARNING: The existing landuse-labels layer will be depreciated in a later release.
  • Add location and layer tags to buildings features in the buildings layer to determine if something is location=underground or layer=-1 (like BART stations in San Francisco).
  • Administrative boundary line improvements are back in the boundaries layer: now based on OSM relations, includes localized left- and right-names, and adds maritime_boundary=yes when the boundary is out in the deep sea. Note that this is slightly different than the maritime=yes tag that comes directly from OSM as we're calculating it using a custom spatial mask that will be improved over time.
  • Add ferry lines starting at zoom 8 to road layer.
  • Add airport runway lines starting at zoom 9 in the roads layer. Can be combined with landuse_kind attributes to throttle visibility.
  • Requires: tileserver v0.4.0 and tilequeue v0.4.0 and TileStache v0.4.0

v0.3.0

  • Release date: 2015-09-25
  • Source national_park, protected_area and other significant landuse boundaries from OpenStreetMap to generate AOI polygons and labels earlier starting at zoom 4 globally (was zoom 9). These features also gain protect_class and operator properties.
  • Add OSM roads and other features starting at zoom 8 (transition from Natural Earth data was zoom 9 in earlier releases). Natural Earth urban areas remain until zoom 9, though.
  • Add water boundaries for low zooms (from Natural Earth), to match earlier v0.2.0 work for OSM water boundaries at mid and high zooms.
  • Landuse AOI polygons now include a sort_key hint from the server for easier client side styling. The sort_key is used server side to make the landuse_kind predictable on roads.
  • Underground streams are now marked such with a additional is_tunnel property (zooms 11+)
  • Temporarily reverted changes to administrative boundary lines in v0.2.x that dropped some boundary lines and their kind attributes. They'll be back soon, better than ever.
  • Other minor bug fixes and optimizations.
  • Requires: tileserver v0.3.0 and tilequeue v0.3.0 and TileStache v0.3.0

v0.2.0

  • Release date: 2015-09-18
  • Add landuse_kind to features in roads and buildings layers based on the intersection with landuse layer features. TIP: custom style roads and buildings over parks and other area features to improves contrast.
  • Add calculated water boundary=yes line features to water layer to resolve funky "coastlines" crossing water polygons (where river and ocean polygons meet, and where adjacent river polygons meet). There are already stream lines in the water layer, but this might require an style update. TIP: In D3.js, set fill: none on linear features like streams and boundary=yes feeatures.
  • Added power station polygons to landuse layer with kind = plant, generator, or substation.
  • Add house addresses points to buildings layer with kind = address.
  • Resolve duplicate populated places from places layer. Natural Earth only used in low zooms, OSM only used in mid and high zooms.
  • Stop generating tiny invalid geoms that were making D3.js cry.
  • Requires: tileserver v0.2.0 and tilequeue v0.2.0 and TileStache v0.2.0

v0.2.0-prehistory

  • Release date: July-August 2015
  • Add missing OSM city features to places layer in mid and high zooms.
  • Add kind = aerodrome (airport AOI), military, zoo; man made features of kind = pier, wastewater_plant, works, bridge, tower, breakwater, water_works, groyne, dike, cutline; and urban & rural polygons to landuse and points to landuse-labels layers.
  • Add sport and religion tags to landuse layer polygon and landuse-labels point features to distinguish different kinds of sport pitches and places of worship. TIP: use these to stylize custom icons.
  • Add cuisine, sport and religion tags to pois layer point features to distinguish different kinds of restaurants, sport pitches, and places of worship. TIP: use these to stylize custom icons.
  • Add more POIs with craft set to kind = brewery, carpenter, confectionery, dressmaker, electrician, gardener, handicraft, hvac, metal_construction, painter, photographer, photographic_laboratory, plumber, pottery, sawmill, shoemaker, stonemason, tailor, winery and with office set to kind = accountant, administrative, advertising_agency, architect, association, company, consulting, educational_institution, employment_agency, estate_agent, financial, foundation, government, insurance, it, lawyer, newspaper, ngo, notary, physician, political_party, religion, research, tax_advisor, telecommunication, therapist, travel_agent, yes) so more business icons are included in tiles.
  • Stop including parking and bus_stop point features in pois layer until zoom 17.
  • Stop including parking polygon features in landuse-labels layer until zoom 17.
  • Less linework geometry simplification on Natural Earth geometries at low zooms.
