Open Infrastructure Map now has support for `power=circuit` relations, which represent circuits on the power grid.
https://openinframap.org/#7.81/49.979/-0.564/circuit=-10377412
These relations are especially useful for managing longer-distance interconnectors which may have a number of segments, but they can also be used to facilitate detailed mapping of the power grid structure.
There is also limited support for the older `route=power` relations, but we would encourage people to update.
As always, if PHP is not your cup of tea π«, don't worry, we also have SDKs for over 40 other languages and frameworks:
We've released version 4.0.0 of the PHP SDK for accessing our geocoding API
Some major improvements/changes, please see the details on the blog:

Contributing, until your mind snaps when you see obvious mistakes by other contributors, who aren't even new.
If they were new, ok, it's clear they barely know anything, so a guidance is needed there. But for people who aren't new, and contributed quite some and for a long time, making apparent mistakes that even break others' contributions?
Gah, that's why sometimes I'm on the verge of quitting #Wikidata and #OpenStreetMap and just let the bad and incorrect data take over...I'm too old for this sheet, and I'm only 33 and jobless...patience ran out much before that..
We are aware of the issues with the tile.openstreetmap.org service at the moment and are investigating. #OpenStreetMap #DDOS
UPDATE: Service is now returning to normal, but we are continuing to investigate cause.
KPMG issued a report citing all the transformational ways GenAI has transformed industry, itβs been widely cited.
One minor problem: it turns they used AI to write the report, and it made up all of the evidence.
KPMG have now withdrawn the report in full.

We usually post good news. This one isn't quite that. π
We've removed the Strava heatmap layer from Freemap β displaying it on our site wasn't compatible with Strava's API terms. It was useful for many of you and we're sorry to see it go, but fair data and licensing matters more to us.
Tracing paths from Strava into OpenStreetMap is still fine β done in your editor (iD, JOSM) with your own Strava login. See the OSM wiki on Strava.
