🌎 New Overture Places Dataset
Another Festivus miracle! Overture Places is an open dataset of over 50 million places. We’ve added this dataset to Rapid as a read-only preview to make it easier to contribute missing businesses and points-of-interest to @openstreetmap.bsky.social

👨‍🦽‍➡️New Curb Validator
Rapid can now detect whether curb ramps can been mapped at road crossings and prompt the user to add them with a one-click fix. These suggestions look different from the previous warnings raised by our validator - they show up with a small upgrade symbol ⬆️

🧚‍♂️ Pixi v8 Upgrade!
We upgraded Rapid’s render to use the latest version of PixiJS game engine. This version gives Rapid a welcome performance boost - if you’ve aired any grievances about Rapid being laggy, the new Rapid should perform much better for you!
