Hi,

we are happy to announce a new stable release 2.5.0 of Nominatim.

This release brings a major overhaul of the built-in web interface.
There is now a web view for reverse geocoding and the details page
has been made more readable. All is now ready for mobile use. You
can see the new interface already in action at http://nominatim.osm.org

The second major change is the addition of a number of new functions
for the API:

 - reverse lookup now can use Tiger house number data in the US
 - new feature to return simplified polygons
 - new lookup endpoint that allows to look up address information
	 for OSM objects by id
 - new namedetails and extratags parameters to get a full list of
   names or additional tags for each object (requires postgresql >= 9.3)

Other changes include updates for the Tiger data import script, new
configure options for use behind HTTP proxies and vagrant
scripts for running Nominatim in a Ubuntu or CentOS virtual box.

For more information, including update instructions, see the release
notes at https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim/releases/tag/v.2.5.0
