Hi all, here is a quick release to end the OSM misery. I am still not convinced that transmitting the user-agent string does really help to prevent any misuse. And I am still the opinion that a user-friendly service should request as few information from the user as possible. Thus I do not agree on the enforcing of senseless terms of use and consequently drop support for servers with such bogus requirements.
I do not think that is too much of a loss, as there are enough alternatives to use. And since Fabrice contributed the online map selection (File->Load Online Map) there is easy access to a wide variety of map. The advantage: If one of the URLs changes we just have to change the file on the server. Not the entire application. Let me use this as a chance to thank Martin, who is maintaining the online maps right from the beginning. It's pure Sisyphos work as the URLs constantly become outdated and he has to fix the files. You can help him by reporting broken URLs or/and (much better) providing fixed files. The other topic that boiled up was the automatic version query of QLandkarte. I never really considered it as a problem as the request does not transmit any other data than necessary to retrieve a HTML page. But sure, the user should be asked upfront. Thus the new version will ask for permission once and never again. After that it will either keep on querying for new versions or stop it. Depending on your selection. The rest are nifty little fixes.
