[OSM-talk] New Potlatch

[Richard Fairhurst]

0.8c is one of those "little things that mean a lot" updates:

- When you add a point into a way where it crosses another way, 
Potlatch automatically makes an intersection.
- Points and ways are now bigger at high zoom levels for those people 
without superhuman fine motor skills. (But you can turn this off using 
a new preference.)
- Double-clicking to end a line doesn't restart the line if you've 
already clicked.
- Click/drag detection is much improved.

And in some related news, the Gnash (GNU Flash Player) devs - in 
particular Sandro 'strk' Santilli - are doing really well in improving 
Gnash to work with Potlatch. strk has even become an OSM mapper which 
can't be bad. :) It's going to be interesting to see how Adobe's 
removal of licensing restrictions on SWF, just announced, benefits 
Gnash.

Will post more on Potlatch in a minute.
