Mapbox GL v5.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-07-24 // over 4 years ago

  • 🚀 Changes since Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS v5.1.1:

    Networking

    • ➕ Added methods to clear the ambient cache, change the size of the ambient cache, and to delete and revalidate the database that contains the ambient cache and offline packs (#14978):
      • -[MGLOfflineStorage clearAmbientCacheWithCompletionHandler:]
      • -[MGLOfflineStorage invalidateAmbientCacheWithCompletionHandler:]
      • -[MGLOfflineStorage setMaximumAmbientCacheSize:withCompletionHandler:]
      • -[MGLOfflineStorage resetDatabaseWithCompletionHandler:]
      • -[MGLOfflineStorage invalidatePack:withCompletionHandler:]
    • 🛠 Fixed a crash during network access. (#15113)

    Offline maps

    • 🐎 Ideographic glyphs from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are no longer downloaded by default as part of offline packs; they are instead rendered on-device, saving bandwidth and storage while improving performance. (#14176)
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where offline regions could report the wrong number of tiles. (#14958)

    💅 Styles and rendering

    • 💅 The MGLIdeographicFontFamilyName Info.plist key now also accepts an array of font family names, to customize font fallback behavior. It can also be set to a Boolean value of NO to force the SDK to typeset CJK characters in a remote font specified by MGLSymbolStyleLayer.textFontNames. (#14862)
    • 0️⃣ Hiragana and katakana are now included in the range of CJK glyphs that are rendered locally by default. (#15009)
    • 🛠 Fixed a map update bug caused by the render tiles and the render passes becoming unsynchronized. (#15092)
    • ➕ Added the -[MGLMapViewDelegate mapView:shouldRemoveStyleImage:] method for optimizing style image caching. (#14769)
    • 🛠 Fixed style change transition regression caused by delayed setting of the updated layer properties. (#15016)
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where layers with fill extrusions would be incorrectly rendered above other layers. (#15065)
    • 👌 Improved feature querying performance. (#14930)
    • 🛠 Fixed a custom geometry source bug caused by using the outdated tiles after style update #15112

    👉 User interaction

    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where annotations could not be selected. (#15130)
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where using the pinch gesture could result in an incorrect map center coordinate. (#15097)
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where the two-finger tilt gesture would continue after lifting one finger. (#14969)

    Packaging

    • ✂ Removed previously deprecated methods and properties that had been marked unavailable. (#15000)
    • The downloaded zip file of this framework no longer contains a local podspec. (#15027)

    Other changes

    • ➕ Added variants of several animated MGLMapView methods that accept completion handlers (#14381):
      • -[MGLMapView setVisibleCoordinateBounds:edgePadding:animated:completionHandler:]
      • -[MGLMapView setContentInset:animated:completionHandler:]
      • -[MGLMapView setUserTrackingMode:animated:completionHandler:]
      • -[MGLMapView setTargetCoordinate:animated:completionHandler:]
      • -[MGLMapView showAnnotations:edgePadding:animated:completionHandler:]
      • -[MGLMapView selectAnnotation:animated:completionHandler:]
    • 🗄 Deprecated variants of the above methods without completion handlers. (#14959)
    • ➕ Added MGLMapView.compassView.compassVisibility and MGLOrnamentVisibility to allow configuration of compass visibility behavior. (#15055)
    • 📚 Updated "map ID" to the more accurate term "tileset ID" in documentation; updated "style's Map ID" to the more accurate term "style URL". (#15116)
