= Changelog =
This page provides an user-friendly changelog for the [wikitr:/Releases stable releases] of JOSM. Its granularity lies between the contents of the [wikitr:/StartupPage] and the [/log SVN log messages].
* This list contains mainly enhancements and changes.
* Bug fixes are seldom listed here (although a major part of each release are bug fixes). See the link ''SVN log messages of milestone YY.MM'' at the end of each chapter to search for fixed bugs.
* Changes of external resources ([wikitr:/Presets Presets], [wikitr:/Styles Map Paint Styles], [wikitr:/Rules Validator Rules], [wikitr:/Maps Imageries] and [wikitr:/Plugins Plugins]) are not listed here.

== 2024-12-04: Stable release 19265 ([milestone:"24.11" 24.11]) == #stable-release-24.11
* Add/improve/fix/change Internal Presets, Map Paint Style and Validation rules
 * New `multiline` and `normalize` attributes. `multiline` indicates that a key value may have newline (`\n`) characters and defaults to `false` while `normalize` indicates that whitespace should be trimmed and condensed and defaults to `true`.
 * Add `advertising=totem`
 * Fix #23932: Add `cycleway:*:buffer` (patch by huntertur)
* More minor bug fixes, enhancements, stability improvements, translation updates, code improvements and code documentation, see [/log/josm/?rev=19265&stop_rev=19254 SVN log messages of milestone 24.11]

   * `residential:condomonium` -- deprecated, wiki suggests `residential=apartments` + `condo=*`
