A new release of iD came out a few hours ago: v2.30.3. There have been some changes in editor-layer-index since v2.30.2 came out in August. For example, Jan Mayen has NPI Jan Mayen topo layer, Saint Pierre and Miquelon has BDOrtho IGN orthophoto layer. However, the new iD edition doesn’t have these layers (I tested it by zooming in to these locations, and I haven’t found them in the Backgrounds selector on the right.)
My iD knowledge is quite low, and expecting to find these layers in iD was probably not reasonable. I would like to understand the relationship between editor-layer-index and iD to a deeper level. I understand that iD uses editor-layer-index. When a new iD release comes out, I would like to able to find out the latest editor-layer-index commit which makes it into a new iD release. I would like to know how to do this.
Up to which commit are imagery sources included in new iD releases?
Now I tried “Empty cache and hard reload” in Chrome, and “Disable Cache” in Firefox, neither helped, but I think I discovered why: both browsers are running 2.30.2 according to bottom right corner. Perhaps my question should’ve been: what determines which version am I running, or how can I run 2.30.3.
Note that “new version of iD was released” and “new version of iD was deployed on the osm.org” is not the same thing, as far as I know. (I tried to quickly find where code change happens for deployment and I could not find it, sorry)
