Not live yet but the coastlines will automatically be updated weekly.
Likely 2am UTC Saturday.
The updated processed coastlines come from:

Wouldn't mind seeing this expanded to include rendering routes a la the OSM
US tileserver.  It's time to bury the old way of tagging a route's
attributes on member ways already.

I am especially impressed that this also finally gives us a coastline 
update on openstreetmap.org - after more than half a year. :-)

As for the rendering - at the southern edge there is a cutoff slightly 
north of the tile edge:

[OSM-talk] New tile rendering (Live Worldwide)

2013-08-05 Thread Grant Slater
Hi OpenStreetMappers,

The default OpenStreetMap.org "standard" map was switched across to a
new rendering server setup over the last weekend.

In addition to new hardware, the rendering server also uses the new
“openstreetmap-carto” stylesheet. This is a complete re-write of the
old XML stylesheet to use CartoCSS, making it easier for our
cartographers to work with. The style is designed to look as similar
as possible to the old XML stylesheet.

Andy Allan presented a great talk at State of the Map US conference
describing the reasons for re-writing the stylesheet:
http://stateofthemap.us/saturday.html#schedule/saturday/putting-the-carto-into-openstreetmap-cartography
Andy will present a follow-up at State of the Map next month.
http://2013.stateofthemap.org/

The "openstreetmap-carto" stylesheet is maintained here:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto
The "openstreetmap-carto" is a good base for creating custom styles,
and should be much easier to work with. If you want to help improve
the style, or add new features, please fork it and contribute pull
requests!
