Hi everyone,

Happy new year!

We recently released a new version of the Maps JavaScript API.

Perhaps of most importance is the addition of our first library - a
geometry library that helps you perform spherical geometry
calculations, and encoding/decoding of polylines. See the post over on
the Geo Developers Blog (and subscribe via RSS if you haven't
already!):

Also of note is an improvement to map controls, read more here:

Below is a summary of recent changes.

*3.3* January 6, 2011

Resolved issues:
  * Geometry library added - provides spherical geometry and polyline
encoding utilities (Issue 2540, Issue 2595, Issue 2246)
  * Ability to set the min/max zoom level on the map (Issue 1624)

Improvements to map controls:
  * Zoom and pan controls have been separated (no more navigation
control). These can be configured separately.
  * New touch-friendly zoom control on touch devices

Other changes:
  * Contents of an MVCArray can now be cleared by calling clear()
  * Fixed memory leak when adding and removing markers in IE8
  * Faster rendering of polys with improved simplification algorithm
