Recommended "stable" version?
Hi! According to the Wiki page, the last version recommended as reasonably stable is 858. As I needed some particular improvements, I am using 1001, which works reasonably well. However, there are some weird glitches in my map that may be caused by problems in my preprocessing or in mkgmap with equal propability. So an update to a later version might in order but quite a number of the posts here seem to indicate that many things are very experimental so this might be a change for the worse at the moment. My map is not intended for routing, so will not profit from any features to that end, I am rather hoping for general improvements of processing and reliability. So the question is: Are there any plans to work towards another recommended reasonably stable version? Or do any of you have a personal recommendation for a build that in your experience should not cause trouble? thanks Nop _______________________________________________
So there is no reasonably stable version atm? Nop schrieb:

Yes 858 is now ancient. I think it doesn't even do routing with OSM input files.

I think most of the so-called experimental things have to be turned on with an option.

I've always tried to keep the main trunk as stable as possible and the so called stable release is just one that is not too soon after some major new thing has gone in. The Computerteddy maps are usually made with pretty much the latest version, so if there are basic problems they get noticed pretty quickly. I think we should set the new version to 1067 which is before some recent changes went in. If there is a major problem, I will fix it and update. ..Steve
