v1.9.0

• Release date: 2023-03-10

• Requires: tileserver v2.2.0 and tilequeue v2.5.0 and rawr_tiles v1.1.0 and coanacatl v1.0.0

  ENHANCEMENTS

  • Significant performance improvements to reduce p99 file sizes globally (-45%) at all zooms to under 200 kb, with some improvements for low-zoom p50 sizes. Changes include: geometry simplification at low zooms, pushing some features like unclassified roads to the next zoom, dropping names on short lines and dropping other properties at mid-zooms to also allow more aggressive merges to multi-lines and multi-polygons, and more sophisticated handling of max zoom and overzoom tiles for buildings and addresses. Further reductions can be achieved by configuring Tapalcatl to selectively drop layers and name translations (eg to drop earth and transit layers or only keep English and Urdu names) depending on your business needs.
    
    (Above) Chart shows sizes in kilobytes, based on commonly requested top 100,000 tiles at 512 pixel zooms. NOTE: all other zooms in this document use nominal 256 pixel zooms, offset by 1.
  • Internationalization is now feature complete by extending disputed boundary point-of-view handling fully into mid- and high-zooms with extensive paired data edits upstream in OpenStreetMap, using Natural Earth as a sanity check for country names, and consideration of common and less common edge cases, including Taiwan and Somaliland.
  • MapLibre support with buffered tiles and connivence properties like pre-calculating shield text length allow Tilezen tiles to more easily be styled in MapLibre and MapboxGL, thus extending support beyond Tangram.
  • boundaries: Add disputed boundary line point-of-view (POV) for mid- and high-zoom features sourced from OpenStreetMap (OSM), including extensive upstream editing in OSM to match Natural Earth's low-zoom disputed area modeling in earlier releases. New unrecognized_dispute kind and disputed_by property. (Issue #1901)

  ENHANCEMENTS

  • boundaries: Add more kind:* point-of-view (POV) from Natural Earth for low zooms for disputed boundary lines, expanding on the v1.7 effort to also include region boundary disputes. (Issue #1840)
    • 
    • To handle disagreements about the location of borders, the kind may be prefixed with unrecognized_, e.g: unrecognized_country (was unrecognized in v1.7), unrecognized_macroregion, unrecognized_region, unrecognized_county for differing viewpoints (see kind:xx below).
    • kind:xx: alternate kind according to the viewpoint of country code xx. If you want to show features according to a particular viewpoint, then use kind:xx if it exists and fall back to kind if not. The range of values is the same as for kind. Note that the viewpoints are either lower-case ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes or the pseudo-code iso.
  • boundaries: Add OSM alternate viewpoints for country, region, and counties boundaries. (Issue #1810)
    • We track two kinds of features from OSM for indicating disputes:
      1. claims, which have boundary=claim, claimed_by=*, admin_level=* tags. These indicate borders which aren't generally recognized, but should appear in the viewpoint of the claimed_by= value. additionally, extra viewpoints which don't make a claim for themselves but still want the claimant's view reflected in their own can be specified in a recognized_by=* tag.
      2. disputes which have dispute=yes or disputed=yes, plus a list of disputant viewpoints in the disputed_by=* tag. when a viewpoint is listed in disputed_by then the boundary will have its kind:xx set to unrecognized_* (where XX is the viewpoint / country code and * is the kind of boundary it is).

    • country_capital:xx: when present, either true or false to override the country_capital value for XX's viewpoint. Note that the viewpoints are either lower-case ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes or the pseudo-code iso, same as for kind:xx on boundaries.
    • region_capital:xx: when present, either true or false to override the region_capital value for XX's viewpoint. Note that the viewpoints are either lower-case ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes or the pseudo-code iso, same as for kind:xx on boundaries.
