 * integrate [ohsome-filter](https://gitlab.gistools.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/giscience/big-data/ohsome/libs/ohsome-filter) module fully into this repository, renaming it to `oshdb-filter`. ([#306])
+* make sure predicate-filters are always serializable. ([#353])
 * improve maintainability of parts of important central processing algorithms for determining entity modification history: refactoring improves code structure, adds inline documentation and enhances test coverage. ([#327])
