[ANN] osmdroid 6.0.0-SNAPSHOT posted

[Alex O'Ree]

We just posted 6.0.0-SNAPSHOT to sonatype.

The issues that are scheduled to be fixed in 6.0.0 are rapidly decreasing and a new release will happen soon.

We are interested in feedback in ease of upgrades, any specific challenges you've ran into, performance issues, etc. The change set is huge this time around.

Feedback can either be posted here or open issue in the github issue tracker https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid/issues

If you want to try out the new version with your app, you have two options 

1) use the published snapshot

In your app, add

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven{
        url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/repositories/snapshots'
    }
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.osmdroid:osmdroid-android:6.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
}

Then build your app and test.

2) build it yourself

git clone https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid.git

cd osmdroid

gradlew install

Then in your app, add

repository {

 mavenLocal()

}

dependencies {

org.osmdroid:osmdroid-android:6.0.0-SNAPSHOT

}
