Release Notes: This version can finally create an address index which works on a GPS device without using any third party software. Also new is a compiler for custom type files and an option to create points of interest along a line. Improvements include creating only a single point of interest from a polygon and even better performance.

Much larger output file sizes are now supported and various bugs with particular intermediate sizes were eliminated.

Release Notes: Much better Multipolygon and sea support. New options to produce a global index and to generate a Windows NSIS installer. The style file is parsed logically from top to bottom without the effectively random ordering of actions that could previously occur. Many improvements and fixes to the routing and turning instructions that are given by the navigation device. It can combine different map families together to upload and be shown as separately selectable maps. Transliterations are now performed when the --latin1 flag is given, and the range is greatly increased.

Release Notes: Shields are displayed on highways. Extended/Marine types have been added, providing more line types. A new option, make-cycleways, to synthesise cycle ways on roads that have a separate cycle lane has been added. There are many bugfixes and routing improvements.
