android-v10.7.0-beta.1

10.7.0-beta.1 - June 29, 2022

Breaking changes ⚠️

• Remove deprecated FollowPuckViewportStateOptions.animationDurationMs from experimental viewport plugin. (1421)

Features ✨ and improvements 🏁

• Optimise the bearing update frequency for the location puck animator. (1398)
• Use orientation model source property to update the 3D puck's bearing, as it is more efficient than updating the model-rotation layer property. (1407)
• Optimize MapboxMap.loadStyle() to apply images and models earlier. #1378
• Remove MapboxExperimental annotation from viewport plugin and promote viewport plugin as stable API. (1425)
• Introduce addRendererSetupErrorListener/removeRendererSetupErrorListener methods for MapView and MapSurface to listen to renderer setup errors and give opportunity to control some edge cases. (1427)
• Introduce transition properties for atmosphere and terrain. (1451)
• Enable main thread checking on the map/style object when running applications in debug build. This utility class will crash the application if these objects are accessed from a worked thread. It's required to call these object functions on the main thread, otherwise you can hit edge case crashes. This configurations is advised but can be opted out with a Manifest metadata entry of com.mapbox.maps.ThreadChecker and corresponding false value. (#1316).
• Introduce view annotation ViewAnnotationManager.setViewAnnotationUpdateMode / ViewAnnotationManager.getViewAnnotationUpdateMode API with following synchronization modes: MAP_SYNCHRONIZED (used by default) and MAP_FIXED_DELAY. (1415)
• Reduce geometry on globe tile to increase rendering performance. (#1462)
• Improve rendering performance with deleting layer render data on a worker thread. (#1462)
• Support using line-trim-offset property with pure line color. (#1462)
• Render cache and Terrain can now have mipmapping enabled to reduce aliasing. (#1462)
• Fast ambient occlusion support for fill extrusion layer. (#1462)
• Refactor view annotation implementation to align map and annotation movement better when camera changes. (#1462)
• Add API OfflineManager::createTilesetDescriptor(TileDescriptorOptionsForTilesets) to create tileset descriptor from a tilesets list. (#1462)
• Implement shadow rendering support. (#1462)
• Expose experimental shadow APIs for Light. #1447
• Introduce FillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionAmbientOcclusionIntensity and FillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionAmbientOcclusionRadius properties for FillExtrusionLayer. (1458)
• Introduce PointAnnotation.textLineHeight and deprecated PointAnnotationManager.textLineHeight, as text-line-height is data-driven property now. (1458)

Bug fixes 🐞

• Fix lifecycle edge cases not being handled properly by introducing internal ViewLifecycleOwner to have granular control over MapView's lifecycle. (1330)
• Fix an issue when literal array expression is used as output inside the match expression. (1444)
• Fix skipping gesture updates resulting in slower gestures on low-end devices. (#1440)
• Fix incorrect image source rendering with terrain enabled. (#1462)
• Fix possible crash bug in image processing. (#1462)
• Fix some cpu-updated symbols being invisible in globe view. (#1462)
• Add support for terrain transition properties. (#1462)
• Fix zoom constraining issue when the input 'maxZoom' is smaller than the current 'minZoom' value. (#1462)
• Fix crash on calling Query Rendered Features API from renderer thread before initialising the renderer. (#1462)
• Fix tile pre-fetching for the globe map projection. (#1462)
• Fix a bug where changing size of the map would lead map center getting changed as well. (#1462)

Dependencies

• Bump gl-native to v10.7.0-beta.1, common to 22.1.0-beta.1. (#1462)
