Hi all, We recently pushed a new version of the Maps API. The major change in this release is Polylines and Polygons are now rendered in Canvas. This provides a significant speedup when adding many polys to a map. One known issue is that polygons are hidden when strokeOpacity is zero. As a workaround, set your strokeOpacity to something non-zero (say, 1e-32).
Polyline/Polygon stroke/fill colors now need to be specified in full hex notation (i.e. '#FF0000', rather than 'red' or '#F00'). This has long been the documented way of providing a color, but previously any CSS color worked. We also recently made changes to our terms of service. Please read this blog post for a summary of the changes: http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2011/04/updates-to-google-maps-apigoogle-earth.html The changelog for this release is copied below. See the full changelog here: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog --- Resolved issues: * Fixed regression: Marker icon and shadow no longer transparent on IE6 * Fixed: Markers no longer flicker on zoom * Fixed: Rendering of polygons across tile boundaries near the north/south poles Noticeable changes: * Polylines and Polygons now rendered in Canvas where possible. * LatLngs for events on polylines and polygon borders now snap to the nearest point on the line. --- Thanks, Chris -- http://twitter.com/broady -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
