OpenStreetMap disabled the authentication method used by Merkaartor, making it pretty useless. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make some edits. 2. Click upload. Actual Results: "There was an error uploading this request (403) Server message is 'Error transferring https://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/create - server replied: Forbidden'" Expected Results: The edits are uploaded.
I am aware of this, noticed it myself. It really sucks that OSM disabled HTTP Basic Auth, this makes client development a lot more complicated. (Usage too, because you are now forced to use a browser to log in.) Also hits all the simple CLI clients, revert scripts, etc. But alas, there is basically zero chance that they are going to reverse their stance on this. Grrr… I am kinda stuck waiting for Merkaartor upstream here. I could try pushing a snapshot from the experimental oauth2 branch.

Upstream has now tagged a release 0.20.0 that should fix this, I am working on packaging it now.
