The changelog is here – please read about the necessary changes to your config.properties and/or your Java code. Dowload the new version here. As the documentation has slightly improved we’d like your input here as well.

In the next release we expect bigger changes to come like one top secret 😉 and this exciting work from @devemux86 which continues the work from VTM (OpenScienceMap) and has OpenGL support, allows map rotation, iOS support and more, while keeping compatibility with the Mapsforge file format.

And if you like OpenStreetMap as we do, consider supporting them via money.

Happy routing!
