I have released a smaller OSM Scout Server update (1.11.0). As usual, translations have been updated, thank you for all involved!

There are two new features in geocoder.

First, as asked for by users of J1, it is possible now to disable libpostal parsing of the addresses. For that, go to Settings/GeocoderNLP and switch off "Use libpostal parser". Don't forget to keep "Use primitive parser" and keep in mind that, for primitive parser, you have to describe addresses as a hierarchy going from inner (house number) to outer layers (country). Its up to you and particular case to see which part of the address is needed, just keep the right order. I hope it will speed up things on J1. [it still uses libpostal, but for normalization only].

Second, you could search now for nearby objects of any type and any name (earlier, you had to specify at least one of them). In Pure/WhoGo Maps and modRana, for type, choose or type "Any" and keep the name blank. This allows you to check for any features on the map in the nearby of the reference point. Just keep radius sane since all objects within it will be loaded into RAM while performing the search.
