Dear all,

Today, v5.0.0 of the OpenStreetMap Carto stylesheet (the default stylesheet on the OSM website) has been released. Once changes are deployed on the openstreetmap.org it will take couple of days before all tiles show the new rendering.

Changes include - An update to Lua tag transforms, setting line vs polygon decisions for new tags

Added upper way_area limits to most features using ST_PointOnSurface to avoid performance problems from large polygons

Moved MSS files into their own directory

Removed rendering of power=cable features

Removed overlay pattern for natural=sand

Reduced landcover fading at mid-low zoom levels

Removed rendering of barrier=kerb

Thanks to all the contributors for this release.
