Hey everyone! We've recently pushed out a new version of the API. See the list of changes below: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog
There has been a few releases since the last announcement so I've combined them into this one email. You will also notice that we have started including version numbers for the releases so that you can see what was fixed/changed in which version. I also wanted to take this opportunity to remind you about versioning, you can indicate which version of the API to load by specifying the 'v' parameter when you include the Google Maps API javascript. If you do not specify a version or set v=3 then you will always get the latest version. Note that unlike the Maps API v2, in which a new minor version was released every week, there will be a longer period of continuous development of the latest minor version of v3. At regular intervals (at least once per quarter) new feature development will move to a new minor version, to allow the previous version to stabilise with bug fixes only.
