The maxspeed category now includes maxspeed traffic signs (from zoom level 16). If the traffic signs have a direction, the icon will be rotated accordingly.

For this to work, I added a new TwigJS filter: 'parseDirection', which handles values like 'east' or 'NNW'.

The new etymology category (in the "Culture" section) informs about map features which have been named after someone or something. If a "name:etymology:wikidata" Tag is found, it will link to Wikidata.

There are some new functions for category developers:

• A Twig function 'boundaries(lat, lon)' which returns a list of boundaries the coordinate lies within (Countries).
• A property of the map object called boundaries which holds the list of boundaries at the map center.
• A property of the map object called driving_side which is either "left" or "right" with regards to the map center.

There's a new feature for custom categories and categories of other repositories: You can "pin" or "bookmark" them, so that they get loaded for every visit of OpenStreetBrowser. It is saved in your session, which is long-lived. If you want to backup (or duplicate) your list of pinned categories, you can use the new "YAML" feature of Options.

The Walking Amenities category (under Transport -> Walking) now includes more items.

Also, there's a new Walking Amenities category in the "Quality Control" section, which highlights map features with missing details.
