We just released a new version of the JS v3 API.

Changes:

 * Enable Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew.  If you are a fluent in one of
these languages, please let us know if you see layout or translation
issues.

 * Animate panning and zooming transitions in capable browsers.

 * Expose a panToBounds method on Map.  This will pan the map to make
a particular LatLngBounds visible.

 * Enable position as an additional control option.  The
google.maps.ControlPosition enum defines the possible positions as
TOP_LEFT, TOP, TOP_RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, BOTTOM_LEFT, BOTTOM,
BOTTOM_RIGHT.  For example:

    var myOptions = {
      zoom: 8,
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
      scaleControl: true,
      scaleControlOptions: {position: google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT}
    }
    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

 * On zoom, set tiles transparent immediately to avoid seeing the
previous image on the screen in some browsers.

If there are no major issues, we'll post a full announcement of this
release in the next 24-48 hours.  In the meantime, please report any
regression issues you see in the discussion group.

Thanks!
Ben
