Hi all,
as the API 0.6 is on the air now I'd like to bring up T at H migration to 0.6:
As far as I can see T at H with 0.5 is still working, but has some
disadvantages:
- the only leftover 0.5 data source is XAPI with
http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/*[bbox=<BBOX>]
- the data is outdated (i.e. no new 0.6 changes get there)
The migration would maily be just to set "OSMVersion" to "0.6" in
"general.conf": I've already tried this and it worked properly. Running
the client in 0.6 version there's only a warning from area-center
"Expected version 0.5 but received 0.6.", but that can be ignored
momentarily.
The disadvantage of a migration to 0.6 _now_ would be in my point of
view that at the moment the main API server would be the only
(realtively slow) data source, because as far as I can see XAPI and ROMA
are _not_ migrated to 0.6 yet (mainly because the minute planet diffs
are not yet available and bretth is sleeping right now).
So I'd opt for staying at 0.5 for at least another day.
Best regards
Alfons
