Schema-Wide Changes

Theme-Specific Schema Changes

Addresses (Status: Alpha)

🏗 The addresses theme is in alpha status. Schema changes with potential backward-incompatibility are likely from month to month until the addresses schema increases in maturity. When these changes occur, we will try to provide some notice and a "bridge" period where the old schema is also supported.

No changes.

Base (Status: GA)

🟢 The base theme is in GA status. We are striving to avoid backwardly-incompatible schema changes and to deliver adequate notice should they occur.

1. Added a new bathymetry feature type. (#206)
   • A bathymetry feature is a topographic representation of an underwater area, such as a part of the ocean floor. Use cases adding depth shading to water bodies in map visualizations.
   • There is a known issue with the bathymetry feature type's depth property. It is meant to be positive but is negative. This issue will be corrected in the next release: #309.
2. Added a new class values for land, land_use, and water feature types (#295):
   • land: plateau
   • land_use: fatbike, hike, nordic
   • water: blowhole

Buildings (Status: GA)

🟢 The buildings theme is in GA status. We are striving to avoid backwardly-incompatible schema changes and to deliver adequate notice should they occur.

No changes.

Divisions (Status: GA)

🟢 The divisions theme is in GA status. We are striving to avoid backwardly-incompatible schema changes and to deliver adequate notice should they occur.

Added a top-level class property to the division feature type: #301. Initially this class property will only have a value for locality feature types and will help data consumers understand the rough scale or importance of the locality, e.g. is it a hamlet, or is it a megacity?

Places (Status: GA)

🟢 The places theme is in GA status. We are striving to avoid backwardly-incompatible schema changes and to deliver adequate notice should they occur.

No changes.

Transportation (Status: GA)
