The code is ready for release at the moment. We're just holding back for a moment to allow the maintainers of iD and the map key to synchronise. Of course nothing in the free/open software world is ever a 'done deal' in the sense that no further changes are possible. The stylesheet is an ongoing project, so we allow, and in fact we expect, that there will be further changes to the road colours after we roll out the current version. At the moment, also taking the comments we received from the community into account, we find that the changes are a sufficient improvement to roll out the new colour scheme. > But I have no doubt other sources will become live if the change goes > ahead with their own style of map key ... Yes, as I mentioned before, I agree it'd be useful if the UK community would come up with their own rendering scheme (or perhaps keep the current scheme) for people used to the UK colour style, just like there are regional styles for the French and German colour schemes. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
