Changelog

This page provides an user-friendly changelog for the stable releases of JOSM. Its granularity lies between the contents of the StartupPage and the 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 (Presets, Map Paint Styles, Validator Rules, Imageries and Plugins) are not listed here.
