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.

2023-05-03: Stable release 18721 (23.04)

• Medium enhancements:
  • Fix #22798: Convert most dialog actions which extend AbstractAction to ones which extend JosmAction. This means that people can now bind shortcuts to actions such as Create a new relation.
  • Fix #22726: DownloadOsmChange will no longer get the history for all the objects -- many times, it only needs the latest version. This will significantly improve user experience when loading an OSC from sites like MapRoulette.
  • Fix #22865: Pressing "Presets" button causes JOSM to get stuck on loading (macOS). This occurs only when there are a large number of presets (almost exclusively due to the Name Suggestion Index).
• Add/improve/fix/change Internal Presets, Map Paint Style and Validation rules
  • Fix #21782: Deprecate ​Tag:vending=parcel_pickup (patch by gaben, modified)
  • Fix #22844: Add garden:type=* tag to leisure=garden preset (patch by Woazboat)
