1.4.0

• Refactored conflate.py into seven smaller files.
• Added a simple kd-tree based geocoder for countries and regions. Controlled by the regions parameter in a profile.
• You can filter by regions using -r argument or "regions" list in an audit file.
• Using the new nwr query type of Overpass API.
• Reduced default max_request_boxes to four.
• New argument --alt-overpass to use Kumi Systems' server (since the main one is blocked in Russia).
• Better handling of server runtime errors.
• Find matches in OSM with --list <result.csv>.
• Control number of nearest points to check for matches with nearest_points profile parameter.
• When you have dataset ID in an URL or other tag, use find_ref profile function to match on it.

1.3.3

• Fixed processing of '' tag value.
• More that 3 duplicate points in a single place are processed correctly.
• Now you can yield points from a profile instead of making a list.
• Not marking nodes with move in the audit file as modified, unless we move them.

1.3.2

• Fixed bug in categories building.
• Fixed threshold for tags in duplicates check.
• Now the script prints "Done" when finished, to better measure time.

1.3.1

• "Similar tags" now means at least 66% instead of 50%.
• Instead of removing all duplicates, conflating them and removing only unmatched.

1.3.0

• Support for categories: category_tag and categories parameters in a profile.

• LibOsmium-based C++ filtering script for categories.

• More than one tag value works as "one of": [('amenity', 'cafe', 'restaurant')].

• Query can be a list of queries, providing for "OR" clause. An example:

  [[('amenity', 'swimming_pool')], [('leisure', 'swimming_pool')]]

• Parameters for profiles, using -p argument.

• No more default imports solely for profiles, import zipfile youself now.

• Remarks for source points, thanks @nixi.

• Better error message for Overpass API timeouts.

• Lifecycle prefixes are conflated, e.g. amenity=* and was:amenity=*.

• Dataset is checked for duplicates, which are reported (see -d) and removed.

• Support GeoJSON input (put identifiers into id property).
