v1.8.0 (Nov 9, 2025)

[zbycz]

OsmAPP is updated continuously with every commit. Versioning is used only for summarizing the changes once in a while.

Most notably the app got the new "Hamburger menu" as a side-drawer, which really makes it feel more mature. Also, OsmAPP now features the new official OpenStreetMap vector tiles called Shortbread, which switches dark and light theme according to your app theme setting. Currently it is not clickable - see thread here.

In Feature Panel, we now load the "social image" (og:image) for the first website, which usually shows very relevant image. Overall OsmAPP now displays wide variety of images: Wikimedia/Wikipedia/Wikidata images, the image=* tag, og:image and three streetviews – Mapillary, KartaView and Panoramax.

In numbers:

• 6 months since last release
• 278 commits (roughly the same number as last time)
• 148 commits were climbing related, 56 regarding the development of new relation editor in EditDialog.
• and 59 refactoring commits

OpenClimbing.org

A lot of development went to enhancing the climbing features: On areas you can filter and sort through all displayed crags. This filtering is also available on the ClimbingTiles layer. For each route we show grade color on the map and also label in user-prefered grading system. On hover, you can see outlines for climbing relations (crags, areas, area of areas). See eg. Frankenjura area. And, every climbed route can be marked as ascented with a "tick" - persisted in our DB with with your OpenStreetMap login.
