Mapbox GL v8.3.0-alpha.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-08-16 // over 4 years ago

  • 🚀 Changes since Mapbox Maps SDK for Android v8.3.0-alpha.2:

    Gestures handling

    • ⬆️ Bumped gestures library version to v0.5.0 which replaces the compat gesture detector with a custom scale gesture detector implementation. This is a softly breaking change because the underlying scale gesture detector reference has been removed. This brings a set of improvements to gestures without removing any functionality from the previous implementation. #15136
    • 👌 Improved scale and rotate gestures by refining sensitivity thresholds and animation velocity. #15136
    • 👌 Improved quick-zoom gestures by making zoom changes linear. Quick-zoom scale changes are now executed based on y-axis delta changes. #15386

    🔋 Features

    • Introduced the text-writing-mode layout property for symbol layers. This property allows labels to be placed horizontally or vertically. The property accepts an array of enumeration values from a ( horizontal | vertical ) set. #14932
    • ➕ Added support for fallback fonts in localIdeographFontFamily. #15255

    🐛 Bug fixes

    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where it was possible to set the map’s content insets then tilt the map enough to see the horizon, causing performance issues #15195
    • 👍 Allow loading of a map without a style URI or style JSON #15293
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where animated camera transitions zoomed in or out too dramatically #15281
    • Enable variable label placement when text-allow-overlap property is set to true #15354
