The Mapnik team has a new release ready: 0.7.0.

See the news item: http://mapnik.org/news/2010/jan/19/release_0_7_0/

And a mapnik-users roundup: 
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/mapnik-users/2010-January/002856.html

Specifically of interest to OpenStreetMap users depending on the  
osm.xml or sharing styles:

The PostGIS plugin used extensively in the osm.xml styles now has  
significantly better error reporting. So, if filters change and you've  
not updated your osm2pgsql style Mapnik will now let you know rather  
than giving you a blank map.

The <Map> element now has a new optional attribute called  
'minimum_version' which allows you to gently enforce the Mapnik  
version the style depends on. Mapnik development is moving quickly  
adding useful features, so this should be handy.

Unifont, which is used as the fallback font to support CJK fonts in  
osm.xml, is now installed by default in Mapnik's font cache.

For more details see the release notes: http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/Release0.7.0

Enjoy,

Dane
