24 June 2024

Today Overture released a patch to fix data issues in the June release. This hotfix addressed the following regressions:

  • in the transportation theme, a bug in one of our automated processes inadvertently caused the conversion of unicode characters to ASCII. This affected roughly 10% of segment features that contained characters outside of the ASCII range, primarily names but possibly things like speed limit/weight restrictions if those properties contained values with characters outside that range.
  • in the buildings theme, the roof_height property was not fully populated; the hotfix adds 143k roof_height values to the release.

The new release paths are:

Azure path: wasbs://release@overturemapswestus2.blob.core.windows.net/2024-06-13-beta.1

AWS path: s3://overturemaps-us-west-2/release/2024-06-13-beta.1
