v1.9.0 (Aug 7, 2026)

[zbycz]

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

This release is mainly an announcement of the OpenClimbing fork 🎉

Since 2023 the OpenClimbing project has been developed alongside OsmAPP in one codebase.
But recently the needs of both projects have started to differ, so we decided to fork it into a separate repository.
The maintainership of the new repo was kindly taken by @jvaclavik.

Feel free to visit and add a star! Also, check out a ton of new features:

To ensure higher reliability, OsmAPP was moved out of Vercel, and is now powered by a hacky-static-export, currently residing at Github Pages.
