Hi all,

We recently released a new minor version of the Maps API. This means that
shortly, the versions of the Maps API will be:
3.6: Development/Nightly
3.5: Feature Stable
3.4: Frozen
3.3 will continue to exist for a short period of time, after which you will
receive 3.4 when requesting 3.3.

----

In this release, we have added clickable business icons to the road map.
This provides a consistent user experience between the Google Maps and the
Maps API.

Another popular feature request was the ability to style hybrid and terrain
map types. This is now possible via the "styles" option on MapOptions. When
specifying styles in this way, they will be applied across all the default
map types. This also makes it easier to create styled maps (no need to
create a StyledMapType).

For more detail on these two new features, see the blog post here:
http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2011/08/business-icons-and-styling-across.html

----

As noted previously, we recommend production applications specify a minor
version (e.g. 3.4, 3.5). Though, please take the time to test your
application against the nightly version (3.6) so that we can rectify any
issues that may surface during your testing.

To see more information about versioning of the Maps API, see documentation:
