Recently I released new versions of the Osmium library (libosmium version 2.13) and the Osmium command line tool (version 1.7) with some major improvements I want to talk about.

In February of this year I started a community effort to fix broken multipolygons in OSM and switch the remaining old-style multipolygons (with the tags on the outer ways instead of on the relations) to a more modern tagging. Seven months later I am declaring this effort to be finished.
