v11.18.0-beta.1

Breaking changes ⚠️

• Remove line-cutout-width and change line-cutout-opacity default to 1.0

Features ✨ and improvements 🏁

• Add Standard Style color and 3D configuration options: colorBuildings, colorCommercial, colorEducation, colorIndustrial, colorLand, colorMedical, show3dBuildings, show3dFacades, show3dLandmarks, and show3dTrees.
• Add experimental shadowDrawBeforeLayer property to directional light to allow specifying the position in the layer stack for drawing shadows on the ground.
• Add ModelLayer.modelAllowDensityReduction property to disable density reduction in model layers.
• Add method to set tile store path to be used by default.
• Faster polygon triangulation for complex polygons.
• General fixes and performance improvements.

Bug fixes 🐞

• Fix userData payload for onSourceDataLoaded event during GeoJSON partial update.

Dependencies

• Update MapboxCommon to 24.18.0-beta.1.
• Update MapboxCoreMaps to 11.18.0-beta.1.

Dependency requirements:

• Compatible version of Xcode: 16.2

v11.17.1

Changes

• Internal fixes and performance improvements

Dependencies

• Update MapboxCommon to 24.17.1.
• Update MapboxCoreMaps to 11.17.1:

Dependency requirements:

• Compatible version of Xcode: 16.2

v11.17.0

Features ✨ and improvements 🏁

• Promote Geofencing APIs to stable
  • Enhanced Background Monitoring for geofencing:
    • Maps SDK now utilizes the region monitor to support geofencing in the background. This improvement allows for more reliable tracking without needing the app to be actively open.
• Introduce MapInitOptions.mapStyle property. Use it to initialize map with a custom style.

// Before
let options = MapInitOptions(styleURI: .standardSatellite)
let mapView = MapView(frame: view.bounds, mapInitOptions: options)
mapView.mapboxMap.setStyleImportConfigProperties(for: "basemap", configs: ["lightPreset": "dusk"])

// After:
let options = MapInitOptions(mapStyle: .standardSatellite(lightPreset: .dusk))
let mapView = MapView(frame: view.bounds, mapInitOptions: options)

• Add StyleReloadPolicy to control style reload behavior. Use reloadPolicy: .always parameter in loadStyle() methods or MapStyle initializers to always reload the style even when the URI or JSON matches the currently loaded style. Defaults to .onlyIfChanged for optimal performance.
• Introduce ScaleBarViewOptions.units property supporting metric, imperial, and nautical units, replacing the boolean useMetricUnits property.
• Add fuelingStationModePointOfInterestLabels configuration option to Mapbox Standard and Standard Satellite styles. Control the visibility of fuel station and electric charging station POI labels with options: default (shows both), fuel (fuel stations only), electric (charging stations only), or none (hides both).
• Add experimental scaleFactor parameter to MapOptions and MapSnapshotOptions for scaling icons and texts. Default value is 1.0.
• Add experimental MapboxMap.setFeatureStateExpression(), removeFeatureStateExpression(), and resetFeatureStateExpressions() APIs to efficiently update feature state for multiple features at once using expressions.
• Introduce experimental support for Appearances. The Appearances layer property defines sets of appearance objects used to quickly change the visual styling of a layer based on a condition using feature-state. See AppearancesExample for further details.
• Add experimental async variants of MapboxMap.setLayerProperty(), setLayerProperties and updateLayer().
• line-emissive-strength property is now data-driven, allowing different road types to be rendered in a single layer for improved performance
• Promote ModelLayer to stable.
• Add SymbolLayer.occlusionOpacityMode, SymbolLayer.iconColorBrightnessMax, SymbolLayer.iconColorBrightnessMin, SymbolLayer.iconColorContrast properties.
• Add FillExtrusionLayer.castShadows property.
• Add GeoJSONSource.minZoom property.
• Add RasterArraySource.volatile experimental property.
• Enable use of MapboxCommon's location manager in MapView.
• Support custom offline TTL header

Bug fixes 🐞

• Fix an issue where the location indicator could show incorrect direction in landscape orientation.
• Fix custom layer rendering crash
• Fix feature state clean up when feature state expressions are used
• Fix crash in config-dependent interpolate expression on style switching
• Fix for model manager deleting renderer resources on custom thread
• Fix config expression evaluation to properly check dependencies in nested value expressions
• Reset style lights when switching to a new style
• Fix crash in OrnamentsManager when setting attribution color.
• Fix terrain crash on style switches.
• Fix line patterns not elevating properly on HD roads.
• Fix uint underflow in work limiting scheduler.
• Fix rendering artefacts when persistent buffer mapping is enabled
• Fix view-aligned symbols with road elevation being cutout

Optimizations and enhancements 🚀

• Optimized shadow rendering by limiting extra tile requests to zoom levels 16 and above, improving performance at zoom 15
• Optimized fill-extrusion rendering at zoom 17-22 by preventing bucket overscaling, significantly reducing tile cache evictions and CPU overhead
• Cleanup GeometryCollection usage in favor of FlatGeometries
• Implement zoom expression evaluation for line-cutout-width.
• Procedural building optimisations
• Fix GeoJSON tiled model disappearance in fast zoom situations.
• Fix user data handling in GeoJSON source with shared cache
• Optimize memory usage in GridIndex and related code.
• Memory improvements for vertex buffers.
• Avoid extra allocations in Formatted objects.
• Logging improvements to reduce duplication.
