Nominatim v3.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-06-25 // almost 7 years ago
  • ๐Ÿš€ This release brings a major overhaul of the source code and database internals. The result is a much smaller database and improved query response times. The major changes include:

    • ๐Ÿ— move to CMake for the build framework
    • introduce on-the-fly computation of address interpolations
    • osm2pgsql uses the more efficient libosmium data structures
    • cleanup of the PHP code structure
    • โœ… complete overhaul of test infrastructure

    The major new feature concerns the reverse endpoint: it is now able to return geometries using the polygon_* parameters already known from the search endpoint.

    ๐Ÿ‘€ For a more complete list of changes, see the ChangeLog file.

    ๐Ÿš€ Starting with this release, installation instructions for releases have moved to nominatim.org. Please read them carefully when upgrading as the build process has changed significantly.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release is not database-compatible with older versions. A complete database reimport is required when upgrading.
