- Fixed an issue preventing a dynamically-added
MGLRasterStyleLayer
from drawing until the map pans. (#10270) - Added
MGLComputedShapeSource
source class that allows applications to supply vector data on a per-tile basis.
- Added a new
MGLMapSnapshotter
class for capturing rendered map images from anMGLMapView
’s camera. (#9891) - Reduced the time it takes to create new
MGLMapView
instances in some cases. (#9864) - Added support for forced cache revalidation that will eliminate flickering that was sometimes visible for certain types of tiles (e.g., traffic tiles). (#9670, #9103)
- Improved the performance of the SDK when parsing vector tile data used to render the map. (#9312)
- Added a new type of source, represented by the
MGLImageSource
class at runtime, that displays a georeferenced image. (#9110) - Setting a style using
MGLMapView
'sstyleURL
property now smoothly transitions from the previous style to the new style and maintains equivalent layers and sources along with their identifiers. (#9256) - Added
MGLCircleStyleLayer.circlePitchAlignment
andMGLSymbolStyleLayer.iconPitchAlignment
properties to control whether circles and symbols lie flat against a tilted map. (#9426, #9479) - Added an
MGLSymbolStyleLayer.iconAnchor
property to control where an icon is anchored. (#9849) - The
maximumTextWidth
andtextLetterSpacing
properties ofMGLSymbolStyleLayer
are now compatible withMGLSourceStyleFunction
s andMGLCompositeStyleFunction
s, allowing data-driven styling of these properties. (#9870) - Improved the legibility of labels that follow lines when the map is tilted. (#9009)
- Fixed an issue that could cause flickering when a translucent raster style layer was present. (#9468)
- Fixed an issue that could cause antialiasing between polygons on the same layer to fail if the fill layers used data-driven styling for the fill color. (#9699)
- The previously deprecated support for style classes has been removed. For interface compatibility, the API methods remain, but they are now non-functional.
- Fixed several bugs and performance issues related to the use of annotations backed by
MGLAnnotationImage
s. The limits on the number and size of images and glyphs has been effectively eliminated and should now depend on hardware constraints. These fixes also apply to images used to represent icons inMGLSymbolStyleLayer
s. (#9213) - Increased the default maximum zoom level from 20 to 22. (#9835)
- Added an
overlays
property toMGLMapView
. (#8617) - Added
-[MGLMapView cameraThatFitsShape:direction:edgePadding:]
to get a camera with zoom level and center coordinate computed to fit a shape. (#10107) - Added support selection of shape and polyline annotations.(#9984)
- Fixed an issue where a shape annotation callout was not displayed if the centroid was not visible. (#10255)

-[MGLMapView flyToCamera:completionHandler:]
and related methods with zoom levels at or near the maximum value. (#9381)
This version of the Mapbox macOS SDK corresponds to version 3.6.4 of the Mapbox iOS SDK.
- Added an
MGLStyle.localizesLabels
property, off by default, that localizes any Mapbox Streets–sourced symbol layer into the user’s preferred language. (#9582) - Fixed an issue that caused
-[MGLShapeSource featuresMatchingPredicate:]
and-[MGLVectorSource featuresInSourceLayersWithIdentifiers:predicate:]
to always return an empty array. (#9784) MGLMapView
’sminimumZoomLevel
andmaximumZoomLevel
properties are now available in Interface Builder’s Attributes inspector. (#9729)- Added a Hungarian localization. (#9945)
- Deprecated
+[MGLStyle trafficDayStyleURL]
and+[MGLStyle trafficNightStyleURL]
with no replacement method. To use the Traffic Day and Traffic Night styles going forward, we recommend that you use the underlying URL. (#9918) - Fixed an issue where stale (but still valid) map data could be ignored in offline mode. (#10012)

- Added support for 3D extrusion of buildings and other polygonal features via the
MGLFillExtrusionStyleLayer
class and thefill-extrusion
layer type in style JSON. (#8431) - MGLMapView and MGLTilePyramidOfflineRegion now default to version 10 of the Mapbox Streets style. Similarly, several style URL class methods of MGLStyle return URLs to version 10 styles. Unversioned variations of these methods are no longer deprecated.
MGLStyleDefaultVersion
should no longer be used with any style other than Streets. (#6301) - Added class methods to MGLStyle that correspond to the new Traffic Day and Traffic Night styles. (#6301)
- MGLSymbolStyleLayer’s
iconImageName
,iconScale
,textFontSize
,textOffset
, andtextRotation
properties can now be set to a source or composite function. (#8544, #8590, #8592, #8593) - Fixed an issue where setting the
MGLVectorStyleLayer.predicate
property failed to take effect if the relevant source was not in use by a visible layer at the time. (#8653) - Fixed an issue preventing programmatically added style layers from appearing in already cached tiles. (#8954)
- Fixed an issue causing a composite function’s highest zoom level stop to be misinterpreted. (#8613, #8790)
- Fixed an issue where re-adding a layer that had been previously removed from a style would reset its paint properties. Moved initializers for
MGLTileSource
,MGLStyleLayer
, andMGLForegroundStyleLayer
to their concrete subclasses; because these classes were already intended for initialization only via concrete subclasses, this should have no developer impact. (#8626) - Fixed a crash that occurred when removing a source that was still being used by one or more style layers. Since this is a programming error, a warning is logged to the console instead. (#9129)
- Feature querying results now account for any changes to a feature’s size caused by a source or composite style function. (#8665)
- Fixed the behavior of composite functions that specify fractional zoom level stops. (#9289)

- Added support for data-driven styling in the form of source and composite style functions.
MGLStyleFunction
is now an abstract class, withMGLCameraStyleFunction
providing the behavior ofMGLStyleFunction
in previous releases. NewMGLStyleFunction
subclasses allow you to vary a style attribute by the values of attributes of features in the source. (#7596) - Added methods to MGLShapeSource and MGLVectorSource for querying features loaded by the source, whether or not they’re visible on the map. (#8263)
- Added
circleStrokeColor
,circleStrokeWidth
, andcircleStrokeOpacity
properties to MGLCircleStyleLayer and support for corresponding properties in style JSON files. (#7356) - Point-placed labels in symbol style layers are now placed at more optimal locations within polygons. (#7465)

$id
key path would exclude all features from the layer. (#7989, #7971) - Fixed an issue causing vector style layer predicates to be evaluated as if each feature had a
$type
attribute of 1, 2, or 3. The$type
key path can now be compared toPoint
,LineString
, orPolygon
, as described in the documentation. (#7971) - When setting an
MGLShapeSource
’s shape to anMGLFeature
instance, anyNSColor
attribute value is now converted to the equivalent CSS string representation for use withMGLInterpolationModeIdentity
in style functions. (#8025) - An exception is no longer thrown if layers or sources are removed from a style before they are added. (#7962)
- Renamed MGLStyleConstantValue to MGLConstantStyleValue. For compatibility with previous releases, MGLStyleConstantValue is now an alias of MGLConstantStyleValue. (#8090)
- Fixed a crash that could occur when switching styles after adding an MGLSource to the style. (#8298)

- Fixed an issue where translucent point annotations along tile boundaries would be drawn darker than expected. (#6832)
- Offline pack notifications are now posted by
MGLOfflinePack
instances instead of the sharedMGLOfflineStorage
object. For backwards compatibility, theuserInfo
dictionary still indicates the pack’s state and progress. (#7952) - Fixed a memory leak in MGLMapView. (#7956)
- Fixed an issue that could prevent a cached style from appearing while the computer is offline. (#7770)
- Fixed an issue that could prevent a style from loading when reestablishing a network connection. (#7902)

- Deprecated the style class methods in MGLStyle. (#7785)
- Improved the performance of trivial camera animations. (#7125)
This version of the Mapbox macOS SDK corresponds to version 3.4.0 of the Mapbox iOS SDK. The two SDKs have very similar feature sets.

- MGLMapView’s
styleURL
property can now be set to an absolute file URL. (#6026) - When creating an MGLShapeSource, you can now specify options for clustering point features within the shape source. Similarly, GeoJSON sources specified by the stylesheet at design time can specify the
cluster
,clusterMaxZoom
, andclusterRadius
attributes. (#5724) - When creating an MGLTileSource, you can now specify that the tile URLs use TMS coordinates by setting
MGLTileSourceOptionTileCoordinateSystem
toMGLTileCoordinateSystemTMS
. TileJSON files can specify"scheme": "tms"
. (#2270) - Fixed an issue causing abstract

, that indicates the disk space occupied by all cached and offline resources. (#5585) - The
text-pitch-alignment
property is now supported in stylesheets for improved street label legibility on a tilted map. (#5288) - The
icon-text-fit
andicon-text-fit-padding
properties are now supported in stylesheets, allowing the background of a shield to automatically resize to fit the shield’s text. (#5334) - The
circle-pitch-scale
property is now supported in stylesheets, allowing circle features in a tilted base map to scale or remain the same size as the viewing distance changes. (#5576) - The
identifier
property of an MGLFeature may now be either a number or string. (#5514) - Improved the performance of relocating a point annotation by changing its
