[OSM-talk] JOSM update

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   just to give you a quick overview about recent changes in JOSM
(some of them will only apply after tonight's automatic build):

* Scale has been fixed, now displays correct value and has some
  "ticks" for better reading. However, I have not forced the scale
  to round values because this would mean that it would wiggle while
  zooming in and out.

* Tagging presets have been changed to take existing settings into
  account, i.e. when you go to a preset panel for "roads" and have
  some roads already selected, only those values that you explicitly
  change will be changed. If you have multiple items selected with
  incompatible values, the well-known "<different>" will appear. This
  feature is still a bit experimental, most notably because I had to
  introdue a quad-state checkbox for it to work... tell me if it
  works for you or if you want it different.

* It is now possible to have arrows on the lines connecting GPS
  points (draw.rawgps.direction=true), and you can also limit the 
  length of these GPS connection lines (draw.rawgps.max-line-length=x,
  in metres), for those cases where you get crazy zig-zagging. Caveat
  emptor, using the max-line-length option will slow things down a
  bit. These config options have to be set manually (via the 
  expert preferences panel or with a text editor in the preferences
  file).

Bye
Frederik
