Version 1.17.0

Added

• Add options to the "diff" command to ignore changeset, uid, and/or user attributes.
• More tests.

Changed

• Needs at least libosmium version 2.20.0.
• Switch from RapidJSON to NLohman JSON. RapidJSON hasn't seen an update in a long time, so we are using a different JSON library.
• Removed "spaten" output format.
• Open writer in some commands earlier, so we see potential errors earlier.
• Lots of small code cleanups.

Fixed

• Fix reading from STDIN for sort command.
• Make tests using binary files optional, because they don't work with zlib-ng that some distributions use. Use
  -DRUN_TESTS_WITH_BINARY_COMPARE=OFF to switch off those tests.

Version 1.16.0

Added

• Add "tags" strategy option for smart extract strategy. This checks relations for the specified keys/tags. For a relation to be completed it has to match the keys/tags.

Changed

• Limit the number of extracts possible with osmium extract to 500. Prevents us from running out of file descriptors.

Fixed

• Extract with a polygon could fail in some circumstances.
• Compile problem on Windows due to our use of GetObject() function from RapidJSON.

Version 1.15.0

Changed

• Now requires libosmium version 2.17.0 or newer.
• Remove the long-deprecated --remove-deleted/--simplify option on the apply-changes command.
• Remove the long-deprecated --omit-rs option on the export command.
• Remove the long-deprecated --history option on the getid command.
• Update included Catch to v2.13.10.
• Various small code cleanups.

Fixed

• Fix for polygon extracts. Sometimes objects outside the polygon used for extraction could end up in the output.
• Correctly detect relative paths on Windows.
• Fixes cross-compiling for mingw.

Version 1.14.0

Added

• Add --keep-member-nodes option to add-locations-to-ways command. When this is set, all nodes referenced directly from relations are kept in the output. If this is used, the input file is read twice an a bit more memory is needed. Osmium will run around 15% longer than without this option.
• Add -S relations=false option to complete_ways extract strategy. If you don't need any relations you can set this when using osmium extract and the extract will be done more quickly.
• New --clean option to osmium extract command to clean attributes.

Changed

• Switch to C++14 and CMake 3.5.0 as a minimum requirements.
• Switch to Catch version 2 testing framework.

Fixed

• Fix possible crash when pager set for osmium show command was less then 4 characters long.
• Fixed hangup in osmium show when a non-existing pager was used.
• Fixed some tests.
• Fix/improve error detection in export code. More errors are detected now
  which makes a difference when the -e or -E options are used.

Version 1.13.2

Added

• New osmium removeid command to remove all objects with the specified IDs from an OSM file. (This is, in a way, the opposite of the osmium getid command.)
• New osmium-output-headers(5) man page with details about the settings supported by the --output-header command line option.
• New -g header.boxes output option to osmium fileinfo to get the bounding box(es) set in the header.
• New option --attributes for the export command to specified attributes that should show up in the output files. (This needed a config file before.)
• New option --buffer-data for osmium cat command to buffer all read data in memory before writing it out again. Can be used for benchmarking.

Changed

• The osmium merge command now checks that the input files are ordered correctly and warns or stops if this is not the case.
• Improved messages about files read in verbose mode for osmium cat.

Fixed

• Fixed relation member recursion in tags-filter so that objects referenced from matching relations are also in the output.
• Fix point-in-polygon-check in extract command. More nodes directly on the boundary should now be inside the polygon. This fixes a problem with extracts on the antimeridian.
• When an output file name for the extract command contains multiple dots (.), the file type could not always be deduced correctly. This improves detection for .json and .poly files.
• Do not show progress when any of the inputs is stdin. Because we don't know how large the input file is we can't display a reliable progress indicator.
• Allow none index type on osmium export.

Version 1.13.1

Changed

• Update osmium-file-formats man page to include newer file format options.

Fixed

• The extract command did not work correctly on history files. Sometimes deleted objects were not detected as such and the resulting file was not a correct history file.
• Open input file only once in tags-filter command if -R, --omit-referenced is used. This way it works when reading from STDIN.

Version 1.13.0

Added

• Add support for negative IDs in add-locations-to-ways command.
• Show setting of -i, --invert-match option on tags-filter command.
• Show bytes read and written in verbose mode in osmium cat output.

Changed

• Now depends on libosmium 2.16.0 or greater.
• Has support for PBF lz4 compression which is enabled by default if the library is found. Disable by setting CMake option WITH_LZ4 to OFF.
• An OSM file header can now be set based on the input file header in extract command from the config file. Set the header to the special null value for this.
• The fileinfo command now shows a Metadata section as described in the man page.

Fixed

• When using the -I, --id-osm-file option in the tags-filter command, not only the objects in the specified file were marked but also the nodes referenced from ways and the members referenced from relations. This had two results: a) When not using -r, --add-referenced: too many objects ended up in the resulting file. b) When using -t, --remove-tags: tags from those member objects were not removed.
• When change files have been created from extracts it is possible that they contain objects with the same type, id, version, and timestamp. In that case we still want to get the last object available. This is now done correctly.
• Various man page fixes.

Version 1.12.1

Changed

• Require libosmium 2.15.6 which has an important fix related to multipolygons assembly (needed for "osmium export").

Version 1.12.0

Added

• New osmium tags-count command.
• New --clean option to osmium cat command to clean attributes.

Fixed

• Allow index types with file name in export command.

Version 1.11.1

Added

• Introduce a generic facility for setting output format options. They can be set on the command line (--format-option/-x) or in the format_options section in the config file. Settings can be any OPTION=VALUE type string. There are two new settings: For the geojsonseq format, the option print_record_separator=false replaces the command line option --omit-rs/-r which is now deprecated. The tags_format option for the Pg output format allows using the hstore type for tags instead of json(b).

Changed

• Open output file earlier in tags-filter command, so we see it immediately in case this fails.

Fixed

• When tags-filter is used with --remove-tags, matching ways got their tags removed if they are also referenced from relations. This was clearly wrong.
