Another handful of little improvements.

  • The direction of closed ways (areas) is now shown – i.e. clockwise or anti-clockwise – and you can reverse it. Thanks to all on the dev list for help with the maths!
  • Tags are now initially displayed in alphabetical order, with namespaced tags (anything that contains a colon) at the end. This means you don’t have to scroll through several zillion TIGER tags to see anything in the US.
  • When you insert a new point into a line, it keeps the line straight – previously it would kink according to the exact mouse position.
  • And a few tiny fixes: a bug when shift-clicking to start a new way has been removed; the Repeat button should be a bit better behaved (though I’m not making any promises…!); merging tags won’t insert a bogus semi-colon; and the ‘Really delete?’ dialogue won’t appear if the nodes in a way just have TIGER tags.
