Then why does Mapnik show the same behaviour than t...@h? If Mapnik would take the diffs of Osmosis than it would have recognised that the tile has changed, wouldn't it? > > Is API 0.6 meant to list both tiles (means, this is a bug) or is this > > possibly worth a feature request for API 0.7? > > Frankly, I think the "changes" call you're describing could well be > removed altogether for 0.7 as it is very limited in the first place and > does not seem to offer any advantages over running Osmosis and > retrieving the changesets. I'm pretty sure, that at least t...@h uses it currently. But if there is an easy (fast) way to get the changed tiles out of the diffs than it could possibly be adapted. Does creating the changes via osmosis have less limitations than the API way? If yes, which? Anyway, if not many services use it (except t...@h) it would not create a high load on the server, so why drop it?
