Changes in this release are mainly related to the import of the data. This involves search (geocoder) and vector tiles. The underlying
data schema has changed making the new maps incompatible with the older OSM Scout Server versions.
For the import of search data, Nominatim is used. In the latest server version, some of Nominatim search ranks are used to rank search results of OSM Scout Server. That should improve ordering of the results.
In addition to import, search has now support for location bias. Location bias depends on the zoom settings used by the client
and zoom can be communicated through extended geocoder API together with the reference location. This should improve results when searching for a shop chain by ranking local hits higher than the remote ones.
Changes in vector tiles are caused by use of Planetiler for data import. Comparing to older import scripts, Planetiler is much faster (few hours instead of several days). The used vector tile schema (OpenMapTiles) is different and required the changes in map visualization style used by the clients. New vector tile schema supports more languages that can be used by the clients. It is possible that some data was not imported and the schema will have to be adjusted in the future releases of the server.
Update notes: As the server has a GUI and daemon separated, make sure that GUI and server daemon are not running while you update the server. Otherwise, you can end up running daemon and server from different versions.
Finally, Github discussions have been opened for this project and can be used to discuss OSM Scout Server by users from all supported platforms.
