[OSM-talk] Geofabrik extracts using different software

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    just a quick heads-up to people using the Geofabrik extracts on 
download.geofabrik.de - I'm currently trying out a new splitting 
software and will gradually upgrade all extracts to "complete-ways" 
mode, i.e. just like with a request from the API, all ways will be 
complete even if they cross the extract polygon, and all required nodes 
will be contained. I hope that relation references will also be handled 
well.

If you find anything strange or broken in the coming days, please drop 
me a note.

The program I'm using is an Osmium-based splitter written by Peter 
Koerner, which I believe he'll announce somewhere round here in due course.

Bye
Frederik
