ios-v5.8.0-beta.1

Changes since Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS v5.8.0-alpha.1:

Styles and rendering

• The IN and CONTAINS predicate operators can now test whether a string is a substring of another string or whether the evaluated feature (SELF) lies within a given MGLShape or MGLFeature. (#183, #184)
• The MGLSymbolStyleLayer.iconTextFit property now respects the cap insets of any nine-part stretchable image passed into the -[MGLStyle setImage:forName:] method. You can define the stretchable area in Xcode’s asset catalog or by calling the -[UIImage resizableImageWithCapInsets:] method. (#182)

Snapshots

• You no longer need to explicitly capture the MGLMapSnapshotter object in the completion handler that you specify in -[MGLMapSnapshotter startWithCompletionHandler:]. Even if you declare the snapshotter locally without holding a strong reference to it, the snapshotter is only deallocated after the completion handler finishes, and the completion handler generally receives a valid snapshot. (#210)
• The -[MGLMapSnapshotter cancel] method no longer calls the completion handler passed into -[MGLMapSnapshotter startWithCompletionHandler:]. (#210)
• Fixed an issue where the MGLMapSnapshotter.loading property always returned NO, even while loading a snapshot. (#210)

Other changes

• Added the MGLMapView.minimumPitch and MGLMapView.maximumPitch properties to further limit how much the user or your code can tilt the map. (#208)
• Downloaded offline packs no longer reduce the storage space available for ambient caching of tiles and other resources. (mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#15622)
• Added the -[MGLOfflineStorage preloadData:forURL:modificationDate:expirationDate:eTag:mustRevalidate:completionHandler:] method for determining when the data is ready to retrieve from the cache. (#188)
• Improved performance when continuously animating a tilted map. (mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#16287)
