Yes, it has. The have set up a new webmail interface. I'm sorry, I had errorneously sent this email as HTML mail instead of text mail.

Dear all,

the beta for a popup POI display has got its first round of improvements. See
http://overpass.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/
for the live demo.

The popup should now be faster: The data is loaded in several chunks,
and the first chunk should arrive after at most 300ms.

A lot of work has gone to properly handle left clicks vs. double clicks.
As this works around some design limitations in Leaflet, I would be
happy about situations where this workaround still goes wrong to refine it.

The found objects now get a classification. This is currently text,
icons should be used in the long run. This is also where I need your
help: Categories may still be imprecise, so I'm grateful for examples
where objects need another classification. The classification is
currently done in function "classifyElement(element)" in
https://github.com/drolbr/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/popuplayer.js
