[OSM-talk] Blocking uploads from outdated tiles at home clients

[OJW]

By popular request, the tiles at home server has been modified to reject uploads 
from old or unknown versions of the client.  Anyone running version "Dublin" 
or earlier is encouraged to upgrade, otherwise your computer's work be 
discarded.

To check whether your uploads are being accepted, see the Credits page:

http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~ojw/Credits/

To find out about new versions, there's a wiki page where changes are 
announced (or SVN lets you watch for changes using an RSS reader)

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tiles%40home/Messages

If anyone wants to develop new client software that hasn't yet been assigned a 
version name, please choose a unique name starting with "x_".  These uploads 
will be marked as "experimental" in the credits page and tile metadata.

If you want to make an official upgrade of the tiles at home client, just let me 
know and I'll add your new version name to the list.  Whoever contributes 
most to the development of a new feature gets to choose the version name.

OJW
