Upcoming change: 3.10 becomes release version on November 15

[Enoch Lau]

We will be making the current experimental version (3.10) the default version on or shortly after November 15, 2012. The versions will then be:

Experimental: 3.11

Release (default): 3.10

Frozen: 3.9

3.8 will be removed, and you will be provided with 3.9 if you request it.

We encourage you to test your applications with 3.10 before November 15, which you can do by adding v=3.10 when loading the Maps API. If you like to live on the edge, you can add v=3.exp to always receive the current experimental version with all of its latest features.

Hey Enoch,

one of our customers reported, that his app crashes after the API update.

Is there a way to force the load of v=3.8? We use an older version of Webkit that is not compatible with the latest updates.

Maybe there is a solution for business clients that use the Google Maps API internally.

Cheers – Martin

No, 3.8 has been removed and cannot be accessed.
