New maps are out, Planet downloaded at the end of April. The main change in packaging of Valhalla. Now, I grouped the tiles somewhat differently and the planet is split into 1600 packages instead of 16000, as it was before.

The format is the same as before, so there are no incompatibilities with the current/bit older version of the server. All should work, as before.

For the end users, it would mean somewhat larger section of the Planet grabbed when downloading a country. While the neighboring territories will share the data, we end up with a bit more than we wanted to download.

For those who are involved in distribution of the maps, this suddenly makes it much easier to handle uploads/downloads. So, this change was made to make it a bit more sane syncing the servers.
