*iD v2.4.0* was released August 25, 2017 and is now available for editing
on openstreetmap.org

📣  *A few highlights from the release:*

*NEW Esri World Imagery layer:*
Esri has made their World Imagery Service available for OSM use!
Read more here:  https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2017/08/24/world-
imagery-in-osm/

*NEW fields on the save screen:*
   • Added a checkbox for mappers to request for someone to review their
edits.
   • Added a Source field to allow users to add multiple sources.
   • Added a Hashtags field to allow users to add multiple event hashtags.
- Hashtags can also be set via the API from a Task Manager or Q/A app.
- Hashtags are automatically extracted from the `comment` field.

*NEW changeset tags for improved changeset analysis*
   • `review_requested=yes`  (“yes” if the user has checked the box)
   • `source=*`  (semicolon delimited, e.g. “survey;gps")
   • `hashtags=*`  (semicolon delimited, e.g. “#MissingMaps;#Tanzania”)
   • `changesets_count=*`  (number of edits the user has made, will be “0”
for someone making their first edit)

  Walkthrough tags, will be set only if a user has made <100 edits:
   • `ideditor:walkthrough_started=yes`  (“yes” if the user started the
walkthrough)
   • `ideditor:walkthrough_progress=*`  (semicolon delimited, e.g. "
welcome;navigation;point;area”)
   • `ideditor:walkthrough_started=yes`  (“yes” if the user completed all
walkthrough sections)

*Performance:*
   • iD can now schedule deferred work in modern browsers with
requestIdleCallback, (contributed by Kushan Joshi).
This means big speedups in parsing, loading data from OSM, and rendering.

*Presets:*
   • Added presets for many theme park attractions (contributed by Willie
Marcel)
   • Added preset for `amenity=shower` (contributed by JamesKingdom)
   • Added preset `emergency=life_ring` (contributed by JamesKingdom)
   • Added presets and icons for railway mapping Buffer Stop, Derailer,
Milestone, Signal, Switch, Train Wash (contributed by JamesKingdom)

...and more!
