Cleantalk responded promptly and positively, and corrected the incorrect rules.
The temporary bans should now all have been lifted as well
Thanks to all the users who have let me know that the firewall – which is, unfortunately, absolutely essential – appears to be generating far too many false positives.
I have toned down the underlying module and hope that Cleantalk will soon resolve this issue.
Let’s hope this really is just a bug and not a genuine exploit epidemic.
EDIT: I’ve unblocked most of the banned IP addresses. Only EWE-Tel GmbH, with one customer, remains on the blacklist – 735 requests in 5 minutes is a bit too much, sorry. Dear ISPs, please keep a close eye on your ‘customers’.
Best regards,

The Update is now online 12th of August
A rendering machine in full operation 24/7 in this excessive heat without air conditioning is not possible.
Therefore – please be patient until it gets a little cooler…
Thank you for your understanding
and
Best regards, Christian
Dear Community,
Due to internal changes and the redistribution of tasks between Michael and myself in the map-making process, we need to establish a feature freeze over the summer.
This means that no new tags or objects will be added, nor will any rules be changed.
This step is necessary because the highly complex, global map creation process was and remains solely based on my expertise, and if I’m unable to continue, the whole project would collapse like a house of cards.
Admittedly, this also applies to Tobias’s render themes, but he’s a generation younger than me 😉
Best regards,

We have now significantly expanded our maps of China, a country that is growing in importance year on year – with an enthusiastic community of mappers.
Until now, the map layout was more of a stopgap solution – now the maps are organised according to the provinces.
This means there are now 17 new, logically structured maps – available on a dedicated download page.
The old maps and their download links, which until now could be found under our “Asia” section, will be removed shortly – please update your download links and scripts.
Wishing you a pleasant summer,
Your OpenAndroMaps Team
