After many weeks of development, I am very proud to announce the next major Toolbox update, release 1.6.0. This release includes the so called “Country Framework”, which allows individual access rights settings for each Toolbox function per country.
But first the overview of updates in this release:
1.6.0 (20150610)
New: "Country Framework": the access rights to all Tb functions can now be set per country (#46)
New: PM link to the editor that set up a closure on a segment (#193)
New: FP links for Dominican Republic and Iceland (#214, #220)
Fix: Redo roundabout no longer leaves an unconfirmed turn on one-way exit (#59)
Fix: Highlights switcher menu now gets a scrollbar if it is larger than the window height (#189)
Fix: Suppress unneeded junctions skips junctions with u-turns or forbidden turns (#208)
Fix: Redo roundabout now ignores the elevations of the exits when finding the max elevation of the roundabout (#215)
Fix: Convert roundabout to standard road now checks user edits rights on all involved segments prior to doing anything (#219)
Fix: Redo roundabout no longer sets the roundabout road type to minor highway as soon as any ramp is connected (#221)
Update: Updated FP links for Mexico (#217)
Each country can name a Toolbox Country Coordinator (TbCC), who has the sole authority to pass rights changes for their country to the Toolbox dev team. The sets of rights is fixed in each Toolbox release, so updates in rights settings will only become active in the next release. The current rights settings (per country) are published in a Google Doc, please check the first post for the link.
The GDoc document also contains a list of the TbCCs who have been nominated so far. The GCs are responsible for nominating TbCCs (after discussion with the country’s leaders). A TbCC should have the full support of the community he stands for.
The discussions on rights changes of a country should be carried out within the country (forum, or whatever they choose), so please preserve this Toolbox thread for bug reports or other general issues.
And, last but not least, enjoy!
