2011/4/29 - New Release

[Luke (Google Employee)]

Hi all,

We recently pushed a new version of the Maps API. The changelog for this release is copied below. See the full changelog here:

http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you about versioning - for more information checkout the documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#Versioning

Resolved issues:

Fixed: Support named CSS colors for poly strokeColor and fillColor

Fixed: Polygon not visible if the strokeOpacity is set to 0.0

Fixed: Errors in IE8 upon panning with AdUnit visible

Allow Terrain and Hybrid map without Map and Satellite in the map type control

High DPI tiles are loaded for high DPI screens

Noticeable changes:

Aerial tilt defaults to 45 degrees when aerial imagery is enabled and available

Pinch behavior has been improved on the iPad

Renamed DirectionsTravelMode and DirectionsUnitSystem to TravelMode and UnitSystem (old names remain backwards compatible)

Thanks,

Luke
