Overpass API developpement

[Roland Olbricht <>]

Hi Igor,

thank you for the notification. After a careful test under conditions as 
similar as possible I have identified some further issues that caused 
the messages. In particular, some of them might compromise the database. 
I'm sorry for that.

Technical detail: due to an oversight in the sorting of elements, it 
could have happened that if both meta was turned off and the update 
found multiple versions of an object then it could have taken the older 
one instead of the younger one. The messages then were from deleted ways 
where this sorting has errorneously kept the last version edited some 
minutes before.

I suggest to use the now released patch v0.7.54.9:
https://dev.overpass-api.de/releases/osm-3s_v0.7.54.tar.gz

That version had run successfully here with fetch_osc_and_apply.sh and 
--meta=no for about 24 hours. I'm confident that there are no further bugs.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Roland
