Changelog

1.0.0-beta.5

Apr 29, 2024

✨ Features

• Added particle weather layers: WaveParticles, SwellParticles, Swell2Particles, and Swell3Particles with wave bar shape rendering.

🛠 Improvements

• Updated Xweather server URLs to use new ….api.xweather.com domains.
• Optimized initial load speed of particles.
• Map tile loading is now prioritized at the center of the screen first, working outward to the edges.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Corrected an issue where particles in an area with no data would move diagonally down-left, when instead they should not be rendered.
• Corrected an issue where particles could end up with incorrect coloring in the frame in which they respawn. Fixes known issue “particles may appear staticky”.
• Fixed an issue that would cause weather layers to render above ground height and disappear at higher zoom levels.
• Particles now fade-in properly, matching MapsGL-JS-SDK's behavior.

1.0.0-beta.4

Apr 15, 2024

✨ Features

• Implemented animated particle rendering, with configuration via ParticleLayerDescriptor.
• Added particle weather layers: WindParticles, OceanCurrentsParticles.

🛠 Improvements

• Optimized shader performance.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue where a tile may fail to retry loading, remaining blank.
• Fixed an issue where WeatherLayerConfiguration's layer property was not configurable (mutable) from client code.

⚠️ Known Issues

• Particle trail rendering and size configuration are not yet supported.
• OceanCurrentsParticles layer does not mask up to the coastline.
• On iOS/visionOS Simulator, particles may appear staticky. Workaround: Test on iOS/visionOS devices instead.
• Particle rendering is not currently available for Mac Catalyst targets running on Intel CPUs.

1.0.0-beta.3

Mar 25, 2024

✨ Features

• Added encoded-sampling Maritime weather layers: SeaSurfaceTemperatures, OceanCurrents, WaveHeights, WavePeriods, SwellHeights, SwellPeriods, Swell2Heights, Swell2Periods, Swell3Heights, Swell3Periods, StormSurge, TideHeights

🛠 Improvements

• Optimized shader performance.
• Added MIT License to Demo project.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Removed mapbox-maps-ios from Cartfile, since Mapbox doesn't support Carthage dependency manager.

⚠️ Known Issues

• Maritime layers do not mask up to the coastline.

1.0.0-beta.2

Mar 8, 2024

🛠 Improvements

• Added support for native visionOS targets when using MapboxMaps v11.2.0 or newer.
• Added support for Carthage (opens in a new tab) dependency manager.
• Added beforeId argument to addWeatherLayer(…), to order a layer relative to Mapbox's layers.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a race condition that could cause addWeatherLayer(…) to fail throwing MapControllerError.invalidSource.
• Resolved an issue that was causing MapGLMapbox.xcframework to link in unnecessary symbols resulting in inflated binary size.

1.0.0-beta.1

Feb 21, 2024

• Initial beta release, with support for raster and encoded weather layers with a Mapbox Maps host on iOS, iPadOS, & macCatalyst.

⚠️ Known Issues

• MapsGL docs don't appear in Xcode documentation viewer (however, command-clicking MapsGL symbols does properly jumps to public interface).
• Tile “partials” (rendering a portion of an already-loaded zoomed-out tile until the high-res current zoom level loads) are not yet implemented fully.
