josm-tested (1529) is fine, works with API 0.6, and does not have the same upload/download problems a previous version had. I realise JOSM changes fast, but I think there’s also a bit of LAG (Latest And Greatest) Syndrome going on here. I’m hoping JOSM development can have some chance to stabilise in a few months when the new API has had chance to settle in. That doesn’t mean it should slow down or stop—it means there should eventually be releases of JOSM where only bug fixes are applied which immensely helps people maintaining systems, and package maintainers, while the superb development effort can still carry on.
