  • v0.4 Changes

    July 30, 2012

    API simplification

    πŸ’… Leaflet 0.4 contains several API improvements that allow simpler, jQuery-like syntax (example) while being backwards compatible with the previous approach (so you can use both styles):

    • Improved most methods and options to accept LatLng, LatLngBounds, Point and Bounds values in an array form (e.g. map.panTo([lat, lng]) will be the same as map.panTo(new L.LatLng(lat, lng)))
    • Added addTo method to all layer classes, e.g. marker.addTo(map) is equivalent to map.addLayer(marker)
    • Added factory methods to most classes to be able to write code without new keyword, named the same as classes but starting with a lowercase letter, e.g. L.map('map') is the same as new L.Map('map')

    Notable new features

    • Added configurable panning inertia - after a quick pan, the map slows down in the same direction.
    • Added keyboard navigation for panning/zooming with keyboard arrows and +/- keys (by @ericmmartinez). #663 #646
    • Added smooth zoom animation of markers, vector layers, image overlays and popups (by @danzel). #740 #758
    • Added Android 4+ pinch-zoom support (by @danzel). #774
    • Added polyline and polygon editing. #174
    • Added an unobtrusive scale control.
    • Added DivIcon class that easily allows you to create lightweight div-based markers.
    • Added Rectangle vector layer (by @JasonSanford). #504

    πŸ‘Œ Improvements

    Usability improvements

    • Improved zooming so that you don't get a blank map when you zoom in or out twice quickly (by @danzel). #7 #729
    • Drag-panning now works even when there are markers in the starting point (helps on maps with lots of markers). #506
    • Improved panning performance even more (there are no wasted frames now).
    • Improved pinch-zoom performance in mobile Chrome and Firefox.
    • Improved map performance on window resize.
    • Replaced box-shadow with border on controls for mobile devices to improve performance.
    • Slightly improved default popup styling.
    • Added TileLayer detectRetina option (false by default) that makes tiles show in a higher resolution on iOS retina displays (by @Mithgol). #586

    GeoJSON API changes

    ⚑️ GeoJSON API was improved to be simpler and more flexible (example). The changes are not backwards-compatible, so be sure to update your old code.

    • Added style option for styling vector layers, passed either as an object or as a function (to style vector layers according to GeoJSON properties).
    • Added filter option to leave out features that don't correspond to a certain criteria (e.g. based on properties).
    • Added onEachFeature option to execute certain code on each feature layer based on its properties (binding popups, etc).
    • Changed pointToLayer function signature to provide geojson in addition to latlng when creating point features for more flexibility.

    Icon API changes

    Icon API was improved to be more flexible, but one of the changes is backwards-incompatible: you now need to pass different icon properties (like iconUrl) inside an options object (example).

    • Converted Icon properties to options, changed constructor signature to Icon(options).
    • Moved default marker icon options to L.Icon.Default class (which extends from L.Icon).
    • Added Icon className option to assign a custom class to an icon.
    • Added Icon shadowAnchor option to set the anchor of the shadow.
    • Made all Icon options except iconUrl optional (if not specified, they'll be chosen automatically or implemented using CSS). Anchor is centered by default (if size is specified), and otherwise can be set through CSS using negative margins.

    Control API changes

    • Added setPosition and getPosition to all controls, as well as ability to pass certain position as an option when creating a control.
    • Made controls implementation easier (now more magic happens under the hood).
    • Replaced ugly control position constants (e.g. L.Control.Position.TOP_LEFT) with light strings ('topleft', 'bottomright', etc.)

    Other breaking API changes

    • Improved TileLayer constructor to interpolate URL template values from options (removed third urlParams argument).
    • Changed TileLayer scheme: 'tms' option to tms: true.
    • Removed Map locateAndSetView method (use locate with setView: true option)
    • Changed popup minWidth and maxWidth options to be applied to content element, not the whole popup.
    • Moved prefix argument to options in Control.Attribution constructor.
    • Renamed L.VERSION to L.version.

    Other API improvements

    • Improved on and off methods to also accept (eventHash[, context]), as well as multiple space-separated events (by @Guiswa). #770
    • Improved off to remove all listeners of the event if no function was specified (by @Guiswa). #770 #691
    • Added TileLayer setZIndex method for controlling the order of tile layers (thanks to @mattcurrie). #837
    • Added Control.Layers autoZIndex option (on by default) to preserve the order of tile layers when switching.
    • Added TileLayer redraw method for re-requesting tiles (by @greeninfo). #719
    • Added TileLayer setUrl method for dynamically changing the tile URL template.
    • Added bringToFront and bringToBack methods to TileLayer, ImageOverlay and vector layers. #185 #505

    • Added TileLayer.WMS setParams method for setting WMS parameters at runtime (by @greeninfo). #719
    • Added TileLayer.WMS subdomain support ({s} in the url) (by @greeninfo). #735

    • Added containerPoint property to MouseEvent. #413
    • Added contextmenu event to vector layers (by @ErrorProne). #500
    • Added LayerGroup eachLayer method for iterating over its members.
    • Added FeatureGroup mousemove and contextmenu events (by @jacobtoye). #816
    • Added chaining to DomEvent methods.
    • Added on and off aliases for DomEvent addListener and removeListener methods.
    • Added L_NO_TOUCH global variable switch (set it before Leaflet inclusion) which disables touch detection, helpful for desktop apps built using QT. #572
    • Added dashArray option to vector layers for making dashed strokes (by jacobtoye). #821 #165
    • Added Circle getBounds method. #440
    • Added Circle getLatLng and getRadius methods (by @Guiswa). #655
    • Added openPopup method to all vector layers. #246
    • Added public redraw method to vector layers (useful if you manipulate their LatLng points directly).
    • Added Marker opacity option and setOpacity method.
    • Added Marker update method. #392
    • Improved Marker openPopup not to raise an error if it doesn't have a popup. #507
    • Added ImageOverlay opacity option and setOpacity method. #438
    • Added Popup maxHeight option that makes content inside the popup scrolled if it doesn't fit the specified max height.
    • Added Popup openOn(map) method (similar to Map openPopup).

  • v0.3 Changes

    February 13, 2012

    Major features

    • Map now preserves its center after resize.
    • When panning to another copy of the world (that's infinite horizontally), map overlays now jump to corresponding positions. #273
    • Limited maximum zoom change on a single mouse wheel movement (so you won't zoom across the whole zoom range in one scroll). #149

    • Added DomUtil.removeClass method (by @anru).
    • Improved browser-specific code to rely more on feature detection rather than user agent string.

    • Added Map boxzoomstart and boxzoomend events (by @zedd45). #554
    • Added Popup contentupdate event (by @mehmeta). #548

    πŸ’₯ Breaking API changes
