New Wikimapia API

Hello Wikimapians!

Today we're excited to release a huge upgrade of Wikimapia API!
We prepared a new documentation and examples page to make the using of our API functions clear.

What's new in this version?

- Better functions working with Wikimapia places: enhanced place information and splitting up the data into blocks - no need to download extra bytes!
- Get linear objects data using Street.Getbyid function!
- Get Wikimapia categories list or the description of selected category using categories functions!
- Extra function for getting a list of languages available on Wikimapia


Old Wikimapia API functions are deprecated but would continue working.
