android-v11.3.0-vulkan-pre0

Important

This build is not compatible with devices that only support OpenGL ES and is not intended for production use.

This pre-release has Vulkan support. Vulkan support for MapLibre Android is under active development.

We invite you to try it out and report any issues you encounter, either as a bug report or in the Vulkan Early Access Testing (Android) thread.

android-v11.3.0

✨ Features and improvements

• Added new map observer events: onPreCompileShader, onPostCompileShader, onShaderCompileFailed, onGlyphsLoaded, onGlyphsError, onGlyphsRequested, onTileAction, onSpriteLoaded, onSpriteError, onSpriteRequested (#2694).
• Correct and revise OpenGL texture pooling (#2709).
• Update Android dependencies (#2794).
• Make project compatible again with Java 11, based on feedback from @alasram (#2799).

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fix raster masking bug (#2798).

node-v6.0.0

• [Note] This is the first release that is back on the main branch.
• This is the first release that uses Metal for rendering for macOS. This is a graphics API from Apple that replaces OpenGL (ES) on Apple platforms.
• This is the first release that uses OpenGL (ES) 3.0 for Windows and Linux.
• macOS binary is now built on macOS 14.

node-v5.4.1

• [Note] This is a OpenGL-2 release. It does not include Metal support.
• Fix crash that happened with some PBF files (Issue, PR).
• Upgrade NAN to 2.19 to support Node 22 (#2426)
• Add Node 22 binary build and publish (#2553)

android-v11.2.0

Note

We now use Android SDK 34 as compileSdk which means Java 17 is now required. The minimum SDK version is unchanged (21).

✨ Features and improvements

• Toggle tile cache final API (#2723).
  This is a new API on MapLibreMap: setTileCacheEnabled() and getTileCacheEnabled(). This tile cache is used to cache tiles on different zoom levels, disabling it will reduce memory usage.
• Add getOfflineRegion Kotlin API (#2516). This is the first (code) contribution from @JRWilding! 🎉
• Bump NDK version to 27.0.12077973, replace ALooper_pollAll with ALooper_pollOnce (#2663).
• Remove OkHttp3 ProGuard rules (#2665).
• Use C++20 (#2659).
• Reuse prefetched tiles to avoid empty screen (#2668).
• Update Android Dependencies, use maplibre-gestures-android (#2714).
• Update dependency gradle to v8.10 (#2721).
• Cleanup mbgl/actor/mailbox* implementation for repetition in ensuring valid weakScheduler exists before usage (#2733).
• Use latest MapLibre Style Spec (#2756).
  This PR adds two new APIs to TransitionOptions of LocationIndicatorLayer: getBearingTransition() and setBearingTransition().
• Use timestamps for attribute updates (#2629).

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fix crash when feature contains invalid UTF-8 data (#2693).
• Fix accidental regression conditional layer evaluation (#2705).
• Ensure ReentrantLock is unlocked after being locked, and on same thread (#2759). This is the first (code) contributon from @westnordost! 🎉
• Add guard blocks and checks to SymbolInstance (#2744).
  This fixes an exceedingly rare crash that a user is seeing in the field. The fix is not pretty, but we hope to better understand the problem in the future (see this open issue).
