Dear all,

Today, v4.22.0 of the OpenStreetMap Carto stylesheet (the default stylesheet on the OSM website) has been released. Once changes are deployed on the openstreetmap.org it will take couple of days before all tiles show the new rendering.

Changes include

• Shop label fixes and use ST_PointOnSurface for building label placement

  This fixes some bugs and makes building label placement consistent with shop label placement.

• Use cache-feature: true to improve performance of layers with attachments

• Use retail colour fill on malls

• Drop https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=steps from zoom 13

  This makes step rendering consistent with footways

• Render https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place=locality from zoom 16

  This fits current usage of the tag and what it is normally tagged on.

• Render https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural=bay from linear ways

• Render administrative boundary labels from relations only

• Stop rendering natural=marsh

  It is recommended marshes are tagged with https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural=wetland + https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:wetland=marsh

• Use a whitelist for barrier rendering, and render https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic=citywalls like https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier=city_wall.

• Support new Tibetan font name

  Noto has renamed Noto Sans Tibetan to Noto Serif Tibetan. The old name is still supported.

• Code cleanups to increase reuse and improve consistency

Thanks to all the contributors for this release, including daveol and btwhite92, new contributors, and jeisenbe, a new maintainer.
