freemapper v0.21.0

Added

• Permit notes: monuments from Schleswig-Holstein (ADR 0145). The Landesamt für Denkmalpflege publishes its list only as one file for the whole state (about 52 MB, new each week, CC BY 4.0). freemapper downloads it the first time, keeps it in the cache and downloads it again only when the server has a newer one. Archaeological monuments and Lübeck's monuments are not in it; the notes say so. The two examples of Schleswig-Holstein have new notes.
• Saxony-Anhalt: objects from the landscape model of the LVermGeo (ATKIS Basis-DLM, ADR 0135), as in Bavaria: cliffs and rocks, springs, dams, monuments, fountains, fences, small watercourses and named trees as candidates, on forest maps also paths OpenStreetMap lacks. Rocks that the model draws as lines are cliff candidates (201) with their ticks turned downhill. In the Bode valley that is 27 cliffs, 20 rocks and 11 paths, in Quedlinburg 7 small watercourses; both examples are rebuilt.
• Permit notes: monuments also from Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, Bremen, Saxony, Brandenburg, Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia, from the open services of the monument offices (ADR 0144). When monuments lie in the map area outside Berlin and Hamburg, a new hint names the lower monument authority with the Kreis and the Gemeinde; before, no hint there said whom to ask, in Saarland neither. North Rhine-Westphalia's data are still being gathered, and Brandenburg's lack the Baudenkmale of Potsdam; a source with such gaps now says so in the notes, and the authority hint comes there without a finding too. A Stadtkreis in Baden-Württemberg now counts as its own lower authority like a kreisfreie Stadt, for the nature authority too. For services that answer only in their own CRS, freemapper now asks in metres and converts; it now also reads GML answers with points. A download whose gzip ends early (as with Saxony's monument service) is repeated once without compression. The examples of these states and of Saarland have new notes.
• Permit notes for Baden-Württemberg (ADR 0143): the water protection zones of the LUBW with their zone and the lower water authority in charge. A water protection area now names its authority too where the data give it; the hint then says "ask the lower water authority (untere Wasserbehörde, Landratsamt Ludwigsburg)". Names the register writes in capitals, in quotes and with a number (\"MAHDENTAL\" 111032) are written as names ("Mahdental"). The notes now name water protection areas in every state. The LUBW does not publish zone I; it comes joined with zone II.
• Permit notes: drinking water and medicinal spring protection areas of the Bundesanstalt für Gewässerkunde (BfG, WasserBLIcK, CC BY 4.0) for Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony (ADR 0142). These are the areas the states report to the BfG, with their names but without zones. The pieces of one area, often one per zone, are joined into one. Names from Lower Saxony that the service garbles ("Börßum") are written right in the notes ("Börßum"). The examples of these seven states have new notes. The BfG has no data for Baden-Württemberg either.
• Permit notes for Saxony (ADR 0139): the Forstbezirk and the Revier of the Staatsbetrieb Sachsenforst, Erholungswald, Naturwaldzellen, Bodenschutzwald and the drinking water protection zones in the forest, from two map services of Sachsenforst (dl-de/by-2-0, "Geodaten Sachsenforst"). A Revier is in charge in the state forest, the lower forest authority of the Landkreis for other forest; the notes say so. The services answer only for single points, so freemapper asks at up to 25 points over the map, up to 50 requests. The notes then say that the shares are estimates and that something between the points can be missing, and for an empty section they do not say "no water protection area" but that nothing is named at the points asked. The examples Bastei and Bautzen have new notes.
• Permit notes for Schleswig-Holstein (ADR 0137): the state forest with its Revier of the Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesforsten, the Naturwald and the water protection areas with their zone, from the Umweltportal of the Landesamt für Umwelt (CC BY 4.0). The service answers GML only; the table source now reads such services too. Names a service writes in capitals ("HÜTTEN") are written as names in the notes ("Hütten").

Changed

• Bavaria: the surface model (DOM20) is read by range, block by block (ADR 0141). freemapper reads only the blocks of 51 m that the map area needs instead of whole tiles of 32 to 56 MB, and a later map in the same tile reads only the blocks it lacks. On the Schmausenbuck that is 92 MB instead of about 212 MB, with the same surface model cell for cell. Copies cached before stay valid.
• Vegetation from laser point clouds (ADR 0138): the green shades 406, 408 and 410 now follow how much stands in the layer a runner moves through, the laser returns between 0.8 and 3 m among all returns below 3 m (from 20 %, 35 % and 50 %). Before, an index also counted the crowns, and tall forest without undergrowth scored almost as high as a thicket, because every flight the states publish is made without leaves. Measured on the Schmausenbuck against the canopy height of the summer pictures, 71 % of the thickets come out green (29 % before) and 7 % of the tall forest (11 % before). Parks and towns get more green areas (Sanssouci 205 instead of 54); forest maps change less, because their smallest area is larger. Pole stands with a clear stem space stay runnable forest. Existing maps get this with run --force. The nine examples with vegetation are rebuilt.

Fixed

• Bavaria, objects of the landscape model (ADR 0135): a fountain of the model in an OpenStreetMap fountain basin or in drawn water is the basin's jet and goes, as an ALKIS fountain does; in the old town of Regensburg that is 2 of 5. A tower of the model goes beside an OpenStreetMap tower of the other tower symbol (524 and 525 count as one). When a map area leaves Bavaria, the note about removing its stored layers names the landscape model, not the full ALKIS.
• Permit notes: the table of sources showed the placeholder {year} instead of the year of the fetch for the services of Saarland. It shows the year now, for the BfG too. The two Saarland examples are made again.
• A folder adapter that names a built-in raster backend (backend = "lgb" and the like) got no orthophoto, terrain model or surface model in the download estimate. The built-in backends now estimate their rasters themselves, with the same numbers as the states. The estimates of the built-in states stay as they are (issue #71).
