Sorry I don't really understand this, how will this affect me and what I see?
Thanks David ----- Original message ----- From: Grant Slater <[1][email protected]> To: "talk-au" <[2][email protected]>, [3][email protected] Subject: [talk-au] New tile rendering server (Experimental) Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2013 18:18:49 +0100 Hi Oceania (Talk-AU and nzopengis), I have just switched the default OpenStreetMap.org “Mapnik style” map tiles for tile.openstreetmap.org in the Oceania region across to our new rendering server. The new rendering server has been tested and is now ready for production. We’re migrating traffic over region-by-region and the Oceania region is the first to go live. The countries in the Oceania region affected are those with dark green links on this map: [4]http://dns.openstreetmap.org/tile.openstreetmap.org.html In addition to new hardware, the rendering server also uses the new “openstreetmap-carto” stylesheets. These are a complete re-write of the XML stylesheets to use CartoCSS, making them easier for our cartographers to work with. Andy Allan’s great talk at State of the Map US described the reason for the stylesheet re-write: [5]http://stateofthemap.us/saturday.html#schedule/saturday/putting-the- carto-into-openstreetmap-cartography The map tiles will be slightly slower at medium-high zooms while the server builds up its cache. The style is designed to look the same as the current XML stylesheet. The “openstreetmap-carto” stylesheet is maintained here: [6]https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto Big Thank you to #osm-dev for helping draft this announcement.
