[OSM-dev] Overpass API areas

[Roland Olbricht]

Thank you for asking. I particular, listing the IDs of all elements helped a 
lot to find the bug. I'm sorry that Overpass API doesn't work correctly.

Please try http://overpass-api.de/query_form.html instead at the moment.

The area creation on overpass.osm.rambler.ru has got out of sync (it is some 
days old for now) and will be back on place on Tuesday after I have installed 
a software update there. I'm pretty sure it has missed the latest edits on 
relation 1875866. As I encountered the area feature as infrequently used so 
far, I handled it with lower priority than the core OSM and meta data. For 
that reason it is always good to ask, because areas get higher priority now.

After trouble with the last software update, I update overpass.osm.rambler.ru 
always with some days delay, because in case of serious faults I could keep 
the old software there instead avoiding a total blackout. This means the 
inconvenience that the area bug fix arrives on overpass.osm.rambler.ru with 
some days delay.

The relations themselves look correct so far.

Cheers,

Roland
