Once again i have the pleasure to announce that we, the OpenStreetMap Carto maintainers, have prepared a new release of the OpenStreetMap Carto stylesheet (the default stylesheet on the OSM website). Once changes are deployed on openstreetmap.org it will take a couple of days before all tiles show the new rendering.

Here are some details on the visible changes this release brings to the style.

Adding rendering of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=hearing_aids with a dedicated symbol

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=hearing_aids is now rendered with a dedicated symbol rather than just a generic dot. The tag has shown a steady increase in use over the years and is used consistently in many parts of the world now with a total of nearly 10k uses.

Thanks to contributor sommerbe for implementing this and working on a suitable symbol.
