osrm-backend/CHANGELOG.md

5.1.0

• API:

  • added StepManeuver type roundabout turn. The type indicates a small roundabout that is treated as an intersection (turn right at the roundabout for first exit, go straight at the roundabout...)
  • added StepManeuver type on ramp and off ramp to distinguish between ramps that enter and exit a highway.
  • reduced new name instructions for trivial changes
  • combined multiple turns into a single instruction at segregated roads`

• Profile Changes: - introduced a suffix_list / get_name_suffix_list to specify name suffices to be suppressed in name change announcements - street names are now consistently assembled for the car, bike and walk profile as: "Name (Ref)" as in "Berlin (A5)"

• Infrastructure - BREAKING: reordered internal instruction types. This breaks the data format

5.0.0

Changes with regard 5.0.0 RC2:

• API:
  • if geometry=geojson is passed the resulting geometry can be a LineString or Point depending on how many coordinates are present.
  • the removal of the summary field was revered. for steps=flase the field will always be an empty string.

Changes with regard to 4.9.1:

• API:

  • BREAKING: Complete rewrite of the HTTP and library API. See detailed documentation in the wiki.
  • BREAKING: The default coordinate order is now longitude, latidue. Exception: Polyline geometry which follow the original Google specification of latitdue, longitude.
  • BREAKING: Polyline geometries now use precision 5, instead of previously 6
  • BREAKING: Removed GPX support
  • New service tile which serves debug vector tiles of the road network
  • Completely new engine for guidance generation:
    • Support for highway ramps
    • Support for different intersection types (end of street, forks, merges)
    • Instruction post-processing to merge unimportant instructions
    • Improved handling of roundabouts

• Tools:

  • BREAKING: Renamed osrm-prepare to osrm-contract
  • BREAKING: Removes profiles from osrm-contract, only needed in osrm-extract.
  • Abort processing in osrm-extract if there are no snappable edges remaining.
  • Added .properties file to osrm-extract ouput.
  • Enables the use of multiple segment-speed-files on the osrm-contract command line

• Profile changes:

  • Remove movable bridge mode
  • Add maxspeed=none tag to car profile.
  • A side_road tag support for the OSRM car profile.

• Fixes:

  • Issue #2150: Prevents routing over delivery ways and nodes
  • Issue #1972: Provide uninstall target
  • Issue #2072: Disable alternatives by default and if core factor < 1.0
  • Issue #1999: Fix unpacking for self-loop nodes not in core.

• Infrastructure:

  • Cucumber test suit is now based on cucumber-js, removes Ruby as dependency
  • Updated to mapbox/variant v1.1
  • Updated to libosmium v2.6.1
  • Remove GeoJSON based debugging output, replaced by debug tiles

5.0.0 RC2

• Profiles:
  • properties.allow_uturns_at_via -> properties.continue_straight_at_waypoint (value is inverted!)
• API:
  • Removed summary from legs property
  • Disable steps and alternatives by default
  • Fix code field: 'ok' -> 'Ok'
  • Allow 4.json and 4.3.json format
  • Conform to v5 spec and support "unlimited" as radiuses value.
  • uturns parameter was replaced by continue_straight (value is inverted!)
• Features:
  • Report progress for gennerating edge expanded edges in the edge based graph factory
  • Add maxspeed=none tag to car profile.
  • Optimize StaticRTree code: speedup 2x (to RC1)
  • Optimize DouglasPeucker code: speedup 10x (to RC1)
  • Optimize WebMercator projection: speedup 2x (to RC1)
• Bugs:
  • #2195: Resolves issues with multiple includedirs in pkg-config file
  • #2219: Internal server error when using the match plugin
  • #2027: basename -> filename
  • #2168: Report correct position where parsing failed
  • #2036: Add license to storage and storage config exposed in public API
  • Fix uturn detection in match plugin
  • Add missing -lz to fix linking of server-tests

5.0.0 RC1

• Renamed osrm-prepare into osrm-contract
• osrm-contract does not need a profile parameter anymore
• New public HTTP API, find documentation here
• POST support is discontinued, please use library bindings for more complex requests
• Removed timestamp plugin
• Coordinate order is now Longitude,Latitude
• Cucumber tests now based on Javascript (run with npm test)
• Profile API changed:
  • forward_mode and backward_mode now need to be selected from a pre-defined list
  • Global profile properties are now stored in a global properties element. This includes:
    • properties.traffic_signal_penalty
