[OSM-talk] Overpass API 0.7.55

[Roland Olbricht]

Dear all,

A new release of Overpass API is now available, version 0.7.55.

The core feature of this version are geometries for derived objects: We 
tell and have told since a long time to people who want to mechanical 
edit the database that they should rewrite the data on the client side. 
The long term goal for Overpass API is that we could just provide to 
such people a link through which they can consume rewritten data 
accordingly to their respective needs. With geometry on derived 
elements, we are one step closer to do so.

Beside that, further evaluators have been added and some existing have 
got improvements. The set of control structures known from full-scale 
programming languages are now available with its semantics adapted to 
the needs of OSM queries.

The details will be presented in a series of blog posts on 
https://dev.overpass-api.de/blog/ like for the previous version.

Best regards,

Roland
