Take cover! For you don't want to be squashed by this m-m-mega phat update, or do you?

Buildings Overlay (#5461)

The new Buildings overlay now lets you comprehensively view and edit building types all around town, color-coded for your convenience! Conversely, the building type quest is disabled by default now as it was really spammy, don't you think? (You'll be amazed and/or appalled how many buildings are currently actually tagged wrong or imprecise! 😅)

Things Overlay (#4912), thanks matkoniecz

The new Things overlay allows you to map all those small map features like benches, bicycle parkings, roadside trees, ATMs and other street furniture in general. It complements the Places Overlay which has been renamed from Shop overlay because it now also lets you map places that are not shops - like hotels, hospitals, schools and so forth. (#5152)

Some work towards an iOS port of StreetComplete has begun - starting with making the code more platform independent for now. (Monitor the linked tickets for updates, because non user-facing changes are usually not mentioned in the changelogs) Thanks to FloEdelmann, neonowy, starsep, YoshiRulz, riQQ and others for their contributions so far!

Unmaintained translations

Translations to Turkish, Malayalam, Amharic, Armenian, Bosnian, Norwegian Nyorsk, Galician and Japanese haven't been maintained for over half a year. As a native speaker of any of these languages, you can help translate the app in order to retain this translation in the app. To avoid an awkward mix of properly localized and English texts all over the app that wouldn't be usable by people who do not understand both languages, languages whose translation completeness becomes too low are removed from the app and only re-added when they reach near 100% again.

Standalone measuring app

Measuring distances with the camera has been outsourced into a standalone app, so you can also measure things outside of the context of solving quests: StreetMeasure This has been done for licensing reasons (see #4289). In a nutshell, ARCore (= Google Play Services for AR), on which the measuring is dependent on, is not open source.
This is why it is also not available on the main repo in F-Droid. If you do not have Google Play, you can download the APK from GitHub, but then you also need to install ARCore.

You can add addresses to buildings, edit existing ones and also add them at any new position, using the same sleek UI as for the address quests.

🛍️ Shops Overlay

🧭 Recording GPS track

Note that the track can only be recorded while the app is in foreground. So, it is not meant to replace tools like GPS Logger but to help locate short missing path segments and similar.

The grant from the Prototype Fund ended in February, however, there is one last big mega-update I can delight you with before development on this app must necessarily wind down:
It may not look like a lot, but I basically replaced the whole architecture of the app (#2506, ...) to do this. Note that this required dropping most local data, such as unsynced edits, downloaded quests and statistics.
Special thanks to FloEdelmann for helping with the refactor.

🚧 Map maintenance

Quest types whose answer is likely to change over the years will be asked again in reasonable intervals. So now you can help not only to complete the map, but also to keep it up-to-date, which is at least as important. Most prominently, you'll be asked if opening hours are still the same as before and be offered to correct them if they changed, the same with cycle tracks and lanes on roads. This feature has been sponsored by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as part of their new microgrants program. You can support the OSMF and other initiatives like these and have a say by becoming a member, if you like.

🗺️ New Map Provider

Big thanks to JawgMaps, a provider of online custom maps, geocoding and routing based on OpenStreetMap data. They are providing their vector map tiles service to StreetComplete for free!
Their maps are also quite excellent: You can look forward to daily map updates and map loading times cut in half, as their map data is very lightweight. But let's not forget to thank Akasch for hosting the previous solution with zero budget over the last years and maintaining it in his free time. Without his endeavor, there likely wouldn't have been a map at all in this time.
