10.0.0-rc.8 September 8, 2021

The Mapbox Maps SDK for Android has moved to release candidate status and is now ready for production use.

Breaking changes ⚠️

In offline mode (set by either mapbox::common::OfflineSwitch API or on platform side), the error notifications are send if the required resources are not present locally. The volatile tiles are not considered to be required in offline.(#604)
Adapt setBounds to gl-js behavior: constraining of coordinates and zoom level is now stricter to prevent out of bounds map area to be visible in the viewport.(#604)
Add HTTP interceptor API - for anyone who is using HttpServiceInterface; there is a new method called setInterceptor that should be overridden(#604)

Make 3D puck always over (in front of) 3D layers (buildings, landmarks, custom layer) but behind hill (terrain). (#601)
Integrate value marshalling performance improvement (#606)
Introduce drag layer/source for annotation plugin to improve drag performance. (#582)
Update prefetch zoom delta documentation to match actual behavior (#609)
Add support for the index-of and slice expressions (#616)
Improve collision detection by using runtime calculated sizes for collision boxes. Previously collision boxes' sizes are constant, they are calculated during symbol layout time by using constant zoom level(#604)
Improve collision detection by using runtime calculated pixelated sizes for collision circles. Previously collision circles' sizes are constant, they are calculated during symbol layout time by using constant zoom level(#604)
Implement 'promoteId' feature for geojson and vector sources. The feature allows to promote feature's property to a feature id, so that promoted id can be used with FeatureState API.(#604)
Enable instant transitions for data driven paint layer properties(#604)

Use touch focal point to calculate the correct scroll displacement when the map is pitched. (#593)
Use touch focal point to calculate the correct fling displacement. (#599)
Allow geojson source to initialise with empty data. (#602)
Preserve EGL setup on renderer stop. This fixes full map reloading when map is brought out from background. (#598)
Fix issue with camera animators ordering on Android 6 and lower by revisiting overall approach of applying accumulated camera changes. (#597)
Enable update bitmap for annotations (#615)
Fix volatile tiles disappearing on "not modified" response(#604)
Prioritize addition of a persistent layer whose id is used for other persistent layer positions(#604)
Only do line breaking process for point placement labels. And if text-max-width is 0, still do general ideographic beaking checks for point labels.(#604)
Fix collision box's 'dynamicVerticesExt' updating in placement stage(#604)
Trigger map redraw when feature state changes (#604)
