[OSM-dev] new in api 0.6 today

[Matt Amos]

there's a new migration in the api 0.6 branch to add "close time" and
number-of-elements support for changesets. this allows the server to
enforce the limits on the duration and size of changesets as mentioned
on the wiki [1]. all the auto-closing stuff has been implemented and
some of it has been tested. also, there are bug fixes to the changeset
query call and changeset update call.

it is statistically massively unlikely to be free of bugs :-) so
please let me know if you find any. these changes have not changed the
"public" side of the api, so clients should be unaffected.

cheers,

matt
