MapQuest has spent some work converting osm2pgsql to C++, and have put
up a pull request to merge our work back upstream to osm2pgsql.
In theory, this should have no real impacts for anyone simply using
osm2pgsql, as any of the dependencies required will be found on any
rendering server using Mapnik 2. The main impacts will be for
developers, and some speed increases.
There is also a new backend, the multi-backend. This will have more
long-term impact, but is a new feature, and will only be of use to those
running multiple servers, or requiring multiple rendering databases with
different style files.
More information can be found on the pull request at
