The March release of JOSM is now available as version 6950 :)

Main improvements this month concern circle/alignment functions (thanks to Balaitous, a new contributor), HTTPS support, bugfixes and beginning of Java 7 migration.

This release is still compatible with Java 6, as will be also the next release at the end of April.

After that we plan to migrate to Java 7, so if you’re still using Java 6, now’s a good time to switch.
