We have to pleasure of announcing the release of Merkaartor 0.16.0.

Besides the usual bug fixes, the main nicenesses are:

    * Added the possibility to show a lat/lon grid
    * Support for WMS-C servers (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Merkaartor/Documentation#WMS-C_Servers)
    * Support for "standard" (as in http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/TileMapService_Specification) TMS servers
    * Allow to tile (and cache) arbitrary WMS'es (only EPSG:4326 and google projection supported)
    * Allow google maps links and others in goto and download dialogs
    * Added a projection editor
    * Enhanced Relations support
    * Geo-tagging of photos inside Merkaartor, importing them without track layer and displaying them directly on the map
    * Improved SHP support
    * Support for JOSM remote protocol on port 8111
    * Added Ramer-Douglas-Peucker simplification of ways (in Roads menu)
    * and many tweaks and little things...
