maps-v1.6.0-rc.1

✨ New features

• [core] Move logging off the main thread (#16325)

• Add source property to limit parent's tile overscale factor (#16347)

  The new property sets a limit for how much parent tile can be overscaled.

• [core][tile mode] Introduce API to collect placed symbols data (#16339)

  The following methods are added to the Renderer class in implemented in the Tile map mode:

  • collectPlacedSymbolData()
    enables or disables collecting of the placed symbols data

  • getPlacedSymbolsData()
    if collecting of the placed symbols data is enabled, returns the reference to the PlacedSymbolData vector holding the collected data.

• [core] Enable circle-sort-key property (#15875)

  Adds support for circle-sort-key property, consistent with symbol-sort-key.

  Sorts drawing order by sort key both within-tile and cross-tile.

• [core] Add LocationIndicator layer (#16340)

  Adds a new layer type, location-indicator, that can be used to add a source-less indicator to the map, comprising raster images and a precision radius in meters.

• Add generic setter for Layer's 'source' property (#16406)

🐞 Bug fixes

• [core][tile mode] Reduce cut-off labels (part 2) (#16369)

  Now, the intersecting symbols are placed across all layers symbol by symbol according to the following rules:

  1. First we look, which of the tile border(s) the symbol intersects and prioritize the the symbol placement accordingly (high priority -> low priority): vertical & horizontal -> vertical -> horizontal
  2. For the symbols that intersect the same tile border(s), assuming the tile border split symbol into several sections, we look at the minimal section length. The symbol with a larger minimal section length is placed first.
  3. For the symbols that intersect the same tile border(s), and have equal minimal section length, we look at the anchor coordinates.
  4. Finally, if all the previous criteria are the same, we look at the symbol key hashes.

• [core][tile mode] Fix variable placement for labels with the icon-text-fit property set (#16382)

  The symbolIntersectsTileEdges() util in mbgl::TilePlacement now considers icon shift for the variable symbols with enabled icon-text-fit setting, thus providing more accurate results.

• [core] Correctly log a warning instead of crashing when a non-existent image is attempted to be removed. (#16391)

• [core] Fix segfault resulting from an invalid geometry (#16409)
