• Large hotels and "big box" stores now appear at earlier zooms in the pois layer. Issues 520 and 522
• The pois layer now inludels all features at zoom 16 that were only available in zoom 17 and 18 previously. But we now include a recommended min_zoom to replicate the earlier behavior. Issue #478
• Improved station tile_kind_rank values in the pois layer by including more data. Railway route extraction no longer relies on the planet_osm_nodes table, which may be missing if flat nodes is enabled. Issue #507
• The buildings layer now includes all buildings (no filter) at zoom 16, with min_zoom properties being added at zoom >= 16. Addresses are included at zoom 16 but are marked min_zoom:17. Issue #557
• In the boundaries layer fences are now included at zoom 16 (was 17). Issue #478
• The roads and landuse layers receive a significant overhall to sort_key values. The sort_key value is a suggestion for which order to draw features. The value is an integer where smaller numbers suggest that features should be "behind" features with larger numbers. Issues 364 and 546
• More layers include sort_key values including boundaries, buildings, earth, transit, and water that are compatible with the values in the roads and landuse layers. Issue #550
• Fixed migration loop to handle the case where there are no explicit migrations to run. Issue #514
• Requires: tileserver v0.6.0 and tilequeue v0.8.0 and TileStache v0.8.0
