[OSM-talk] There are new coastline shapefiles

[Michal Migurski]

Hi,

I've started including new coastline shapefiles with the metro extracts:
	http://metro.teczno.com/

The error checker was relatively painless to run, and with a few edits to Canada and Brazil (http://teczno.com/s/5fs) and a test render I've just verified that the contents of the processed coastline shapefile have approximately the right number of continents.

This should be an improvement over the previously shapefiles, which are almost 18 months out of date:
