Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce Potlatch 1.3 - a new version with one major
improvement.
Potlatch now lets you zoom in as far as zoom level 23. Previous
versions only went up to z19, and even then with some loss of
positional accuracy.
This makes Potlatch much more suitable for tracing buildings, and
other fine detail, from high quality aerial imagery like the NearMap
imagery available in Australia. Don't forget that there's the option
to 'Use thin lines at all scales' to make high-resolution work easier,
too.
A fair amount of the scaling code has been reworked to cope with this,
so if you spot any mishaps on the way, reports at
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ are welcome as usual.
This might be the last major revision of Potlatch 1.x - because work
is now well underway on Potlatch 2, which is a complete rewrite with
some whizzy new features. But more on that anon!
cheers
Richard
