Sourced from mapbox-gl's releases.

v3.0.1

Mapbox GL JS v3 enables the Mapbox Standard Style, a new realistic 3D lighting system, building shadows and many other visual enhancements, and an ergonomic API for using a new kind of rich, evolving, configurable map styles and seamless integration with custom data. You can get more information about the new features in the Mapbox GL JS v3 migration guide.

v3.0.1

Bug fixes 🐞

• Fix attribution not being displayed for imported fragments.

You can get more information about the new features in the Mapbox GL JS v3 migration guide.

v3.0.0

Breaking changes ⚠️

• Discontinue WebGL 1 support. WebGL 2 is now mandatory for GL JS v3 usage, aligned with universal browser support.
• Remove the optimizeForTerrain map option (layer rendering on globe and terrain is always optimized now).

Features and improvements ✨

3D Lights

• Introduced a new 3D Lights API that supports directional and ambient light sources to give you control of lighting and shadows in your map when using 3D objects.
• Add new *-emissive-strength properties for styling layers with the new lighting API.
• Introduced flood lighting for the extruded buildings' walls and the ground beneath them.
• Introduced ambient occlusion to affect the ground beneath the extruded buildings.
• Introduced measureLight expression lights configuration property: Create dynamic styles based on lighting conditions.
• Added support for shadows cast from fill extrusions.
• Introduced hsl and hsla color expressions: These expressions allow you to define colors using hue, saturation, and lightness format.
• Add support for fading out 3D layers in the distance with fill-extrusion-cutoff-fade-range and model-cutoff-fade-range style properties.

Style Composition with Imports

• Introducing support for nested and configurable styles. You can now import other styles into your main style, with updates to imported styles automatically reflected in your main style. Configuration properties can be set for imported styles, making them customizable.
• Introduced concept of slots, pre-specified locations in the style, where your layer can be added (e.g., on top of existing land layers but below all labels).
• Introduced config expression: Retrieves the configuration value for the given option.
• When no style option is provided to the Map constructor, the Mapbox Standard Style is now enabled as a default.
• Add a style.import.load event to track the loading of imported style fragments.

Terrain Improvements

• Improve terrain sampling accuracy.
• Improve zooming and panning over dynamic terrain so that it feels smooth.
• Improve performance for styles that use both hillshade layers and terrain.

New Raster Features

• Introduced raster colorization via raster-color paint properties.
• Introduced raster-value expression: Returns the raster value of a pixel computed via raster-color-mix.

• Introduced random expression: Generate random values using this expression. Use this expression to generate random values, which can be particularly helpful for introducing randomness into your map data.
• Introduced distance expression: Returns the shortest distance in meters between the evaluated feature and the input geometry.
• Add support for elevating symbols over buildings & other 3D layers with symbol-z-elevate style property.
• Improve rendering of stars on globe view.
• Add the renderstart event, which, combined with the render event, can be used to measure rendering frame duration.
• Enable zoom-based expressions for model rotation, scale, and translation.
• Optimize shader compilation to reduce stuttering on complex 3D styles.
• Reduce flickering of symbols along lines due to rounding errors.

Bug fixes 🐞

• Fix the accuracy of the atmosphere gradient when rendering the globe.
