Changes from 5.8:
- Algorithm:
- Multi-Level Dijkstra:
- Plugins supported: `table`
- Adds alternative routes support (see [#4047](https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/pull/4047) and [3905](https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/issues/3905)): provides reasonably looking alternative routes (many, if possible) with reasonable query times.
- API:
- Exposes `alternatives=Number` parameter overload in addition to the boolean flag.
- Support for exits numbers and names. New member `exits` in `RouteStep`, based on `junction:ref` on ways
- `Intersection` now has new parameter `classes` that can be set in the profile on each way.
- Profiles:
- `result.exits` allows you to set a way's exit numbers and names, see [`junction:ref`](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/junction_details)
- `ExtractionWay` now as new property `forward_classes` and `backward_classes` that can set in the `way_function`.
The maximum number of classes is 8.
- Node.js Bindings:
- Exposes `alternatives=Number` parameter overload in addition to the boolean flag
- Expose `EngineConfig` options in the node bindings
- Tools:
- Exposes engine limit on number of alternatives to generate `--max-alternatives` in `osrm-routed` (3 by default)
- Infrastructure
- STXXL is not required to build OSRM and is an optional dependency for back-compatibility (ENABLE_STXXL=On)
- OpenMP is only required when the optional STXXL dependency is used
- Bug fixes:
- #4278: Remove superflous continious instruction on a motorway.
