Henri Willox's Diary

From the website: "TopoFusion Pro has a new release, version 4.2, now available. We’ve got some exciting new features, as the software continues to improve. First we have two new map tilesets with global coverage — Mapquest’s street tiles based on Open Street Maps data and also the Open Aerial tileset. Both are great additions to the software, offering a different (and faster) rendering of Open Street Maps data, and in some cases higher resolution color aerial data in the Open Aerial layer."

Release notes for version 0.3

This version provides a few bug fixes and a fex improvements.

Main bug fixes are:

- Do not rely on latest osmosis but on a fixed version. This PREVENTED THIS SCRIPT TO WORK since the release of Osmosis 0.39 in early April 2011 (sorry for this). The osmosis team does not provide backward compatibility in the sense that their script names have changed (even for those which, apparently, still do the same thing). osm2postgresql now downloads a specific version of osmosis to avoid surprises.

- Better management of the path if using the --install option
