What goes on between releasing a new version and things actually changing? What sort of time delays are involved?
Background, a couple of hours ago (evening 22nd March in the UK, presumably late afernoon in the US) Google Maps in our web site broke in IE. Suddenly, at least in IE 7 and 8, the map tiles were not filling the portal: we were getting grey background where bits of map ought to have been. Everything had been fine at around 6 o'clock (UK time) but was bad at 10 o'clock. Our code did not change at all. We'll investigate exactly what happened and try to submit a bug report in due course. We were using "Version 2" of the API, invoked by passing "v=2" (not "v=2.s" --- is that new?). But when I look at the list of versions that appears at http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIChangelog I can't see anything shown has having changed since March 16th --- 6 days ago. So what happened? Why did our site break TONIGHT, six days after the last entry on the Changelog? Did it take that long for the version released on the 16th to actually "hit the streets"? Or do changes in "Current" not get noted on the API changelog? Or what? Robert. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
