MarkerImage class properties

[kilkul]

Why doesn't MarkerImage has any public / documented properties (like
image, for getting its designated image URL)? I've managed, until
today, to "read" it by accessing its Ua property (found by myself, by
"hacking" the class' properties), but it seems to have stopped working
today. I could / will do that "hack" thing again, but it seems such a
"lack of transparency" regarding this class...

Yeah, it just got renamed to Wa (from Ua).

So, if anyone needs a Marker's MarkerImage image URL, it could be
accessed by marker.getIcon()['Wa']

But it will change everytime a new version of the API is released
(unless you use a "hard-coded" version, like 3.0).

We release updates approximately weekly.  We use Closure Compiler to compress our code, which renames variables between builds.

OK, but can't the MarkerImage get some additional properties (for
example, to get its URL), so I won't have to hack into my JS after
each release?

Why not just remember what you set the image to in the first place?

I think that's because some of the optional properties are calculated
asynchronously (once the image has been retrieved for the first
time). Certainly getUrl() would be possible because it's a mandatory
constructor parameter. In the meantime you could write a wrapper
class extending MarkerImage with this method.
