Release 0.17.0

New Features

• Make it possible to use Choropleth layer with data containing NaNs #972
• Add Map panes #999
• Allow setting Map.dragging #1001

Deprecated API

• Deprecate LegendControl properties name, legends, positioning, and positionning #979 and #1005. Update your code with the following substitutions for a LegendControl legend:

  • legend.name -> legend.title
  • legend.legends -> legend.legend
  • legend.positioning -> legend.position
  • legend.positionnning -> legend.position

  The name argument in creating a LegendControl is also deprecated, please use the title argument instead: LegendControl({}, title='My Title').

• Deprecate layer and control-specific method names for Map and LayerGroup, in favor of methods that work for both layers and controls #982. Update your code with the following substitutions for a Map map (or LayerGroup):

  • map.add_control(...) or map.add_layer(...) -> map.add(...)
  • map.remove_control(...) or map.remove_layer(...) -> map.remove(...)
  • map.substitute_control(...) or map.substitute_layer(...) -> map.substitute(...)
  • map.clear_controls(...) or map.clear_layers(...) -> map.clear(...)

  The inline operators still continue to work as before, such as map += control or map -= layer.
