v57.0

[westnordost]

Take cover! For you don't want to be squashed by this m-m-mega phat update, or do you?

Buildings Overlay (#5461)

The new Buildings overlay now lets you comprehensively view and edit building types all around town, color-coded for your convenience!
Conversely, the building type quest is disabled by default now as it was really spammy, don't you think?

(You'll be amazed and/or appalled how many buildings are currently actually tagged wrong or imprecise! 😅)

Things Overlay (#4912), thanks @matkoniecz

The new Things overlay allows you to map all those small map features like benches, bicycle parkings, roadside trees, ATMs and other street furniture in general.

It complements the Places Overlay which has been renamed from Shop overlay because it now also lets you map places that are not shops - like hotels, hospitals, schools and so forth. (#5152)

New Quests

• The crossing type quest has been split up into two quests: One that asks for markings, the other for traffic signals (Redo crossing quests #5471, Show AddCrossingKerbHeight for crossing without crossing #5476)

Quest and Overlay Enhancements and Fixes

• Lit and Surface Overlay: now each have a button to apply the last answer (Add 'previous choice' option to Street lit overlay #4741)
• Measuring widths and heights: StreetMeasure doesn't work for you? In that case you'll be offered to quickly disable these AR measurement quests now (Offer hiding AR quests after StreetMeasure installation fails #4849)
• Max Height: Don't prompt to estimate height when there is no sign (There is no default maxheight in Israel #5458)
• Opening Hours: Also ask for places whose already set opening hours likely contain mistakes (New Opening Hours Parser #5463)
• BBQ fuel: Add "gas" answer (add 'gas' as an option for bbq fuel #5495), by @k-yle
• Steps: Don't ask about ramps and tactile paving for hiking steps, by @matkoniecz
• Fire Hydrant Diameter: Disable for Austria again (Unclear fire hydrant diameter quest in Austria #5470)

Other

• Fix issues with doing edits while data is being downloaded (Quest is asked again immediately after solving it #4258)
• Add some interesting links as achievement rewards (Add some achievement links #5466)
• Translation to Amharic has been disabled, it was not maintained for over a year
• Use new method to upload and download data as mandated by Google Play policy. On Android 13 and above, there's no notification for continuing to sync in the background anymore. (Use WorkManager for Upload/Download #5492)
