Hey all,<div><br></div><div>Happy to announce that early tomorrow we're tagging an alpha0 release of iD for testing & development: <a href="http://mapbox.com/osmdev/2012/12/22/alpha0/">http://mapbox.com/osmdev/2012/12/22/alpha0/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>As you all know, creating an editor is a very big effort and there's still a long way to go. What this mostly means is that we're happy with this set of features being good for an alpha release series, working on stability, and then adding a lot of great stuff (powerful presets) when we enter beta.</div>
<div><br></div><div>On a technical level, it also means that development is shifting from our intense-but-enjoyable regime of working in the master branch to working in feature and bugfix branches and trying to keep master in a continually-improving state. And that we are, as much as ever, excited for any new contributors to join.</div>
<div><br></div><div>A big thanks to Saman, John, Alex, Richard, Martin and more for their work towards this point.</div><div><br></div><div>Tom</div>
