[josm-dev] Early-access build b95 of JDK 9 is available for download

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Vincent,

Early-access builds of JDK 9 with Project Verona [0] in b95 are 
available for download here .


The goal of this Project is to implement the new JDK version string as 
described in JEP-223  [1].
The new version-string scheme is designed to easily distinguish major, 
minor, and security-update releases.
For more information please see Iris Clark's email [2] , also see 
Dalibor Topic's blog on this topic [3].


Please send usage questions, feedback and experience reports to the 
verona-dev  
mailing list.


Note: If you haven’t already subscribed to that mailing list then please 
do so first, otherwise

your message will be discarded as spam.

Rgds,Rory

[OSM-dev] Geofabrik OSM extracts breakage

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   on the night of Saturday 05 December, a couple of European Geofabrik
country extracts (*not* the full Europe extract) failed to compute
correctly, and the auto-generated diff files for these region then
indicated the deletion of a very large number of objects (sometimes
*all* objects). This mistake was detected and fixed on Sunday noon, by
dropping the broken data and reverting to the previous version.

However, anyone who downloaded and applied the diff between Sunday ~ 4am
UTC and ~ noon UTC will probably have ruined their database and will
have to start anew from a full extract. Simply carrying on downloading
diffs will *not* suffice because when reverting to the previous version
we completely erased the broken diff, and hence the diff generated the
next night will *not* simply make everything good again if you consumed
one of the broken diffs.

A list of affected extracts is in this forum post:

I'm sorry if this has caused a hiccup in your downstream services and
I'm implementing a few extra sanity checks to avoid something similar in
the future.

Bye
Frederik
