v57.0

Take cover! For you don't want to be squashed by this m-m-mega phat update, or do you?

Buildings Overlay (#5461)

The new Buildings overlay now lets you comprehensively view and edit building types all around town, color-coded for your convenience!
Conversely, the building type quest is disabled by default now as it was really spammy, don't you think?

(You'll be amazed and/or appalled how many buildings are currently actually tagged wrong or imprecise! 😅)

Things Overlay (#4912), thanks @matkoniecz

The new Things overlay allows you to map all those small map features like benches, bicycle parkings, roadside trees, ATMs and other street furniture in general.

It complements the Places Overlay which has been renamed from Shop overlay because it now also lets you map places that are not shops - like hotels, hospitals, schools and so forth. (#5152)

New Quests

• The crossing type quest has been split up into two quests: One that asks for markings, the other for traffic signals (#5471, #5476)

Quest and Overlay Enhancements and Fixes

• Lit and Surface Overlay: now each have a button to apply the last answer (#4741)

• Max Height: Don't prompt to estimate height when there is no sign (#5458)
