okay. then, speaking as the maintainer of an independent renderer: where are such sunrise/sunset transitions announced/scheduled/tracked? is the "announce" list the place to be? (all i usually see there is server outages.) can someone point me to a region (most of) whose routes have been converted, for testing? (i should add that it's entirely possible that this transition was announced and discussed and declared imperative on every single list in all caps at some point, and i might have missed it. i took a long break from map projects until recently when i had some new energy and time to spare.) paul =---------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 42.3 degrees) _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
