mapbox-gl

Features and improvements

• Introduce Level of Detail (LOD) support for landmark models, enabling automatic switching between model versions based on camera distance.

• Support additive blend mode with clamped density by setting the line-blend-additive-clamp property.

• Improve rendering performance by reducing per-frame matrix allocations.

• Improve rendering performance via parallel shader compilation on supported devices.

• Improve rendering performance by advancing shader precompilation.

• Improve shadow rendering performance.

• Improve vector icon loading performance.

• Improve initial load by skipping redundant config-related style layers updates in Web Workers.

• Improve initial load by rescheduling shader precompilation to occur during browser idle time after the map's idle event.

• Improve model processing performance.

• Improve performance and memory footprint by streamlining communication between the main thread and Web Workers.

• Reduce first-interaction jank by optimizing shader compilation pipeline behavior.

• Optimize expression parsing performance.

• Improve an error messaging for the line-trim-offset property without lineMetrics.

Bug fixes

• Fix LUT to properly work with premultiplied color.

• Fix a potential memory leak and crash occurring when a map was destroyed.

• Fix an issue where cross-fragments config values were not correctly updated.
