Hi, no need to do a new release, as Google seems to have reverted to the old behavior (no streetview icon) again.
In my opinion, with things like this happening, it is time to think about the relationship between OpenLayers and commercial map providers. I see two options (the 1st is the preferred one): 1. Make commercial map providers (Google) aware of the use case of using their maps in a third party framework (OpenLayers) that has everything to consume the tiles directly. It would also be a wind for them (no need to respond to bugs that come from this use case). Note that this seems to be possible already for Bing tiles. 2. Make Google provide a versioned API, like they did for GMaps 2. In either case, we would need someone with close ties to Google to promote the idea and make it happen. We could also create tickets against GMap2 v3, but we would then need many people to star the tickets to make Google aware of the need to tackle them. Any ideas? Anyone from Google reading here? Or anyone with a hot wire to Google? Andreas. On Oct 11, 2010, at 13:22 , christopher.schm...@nokia.com wrote: > Okay, so we need to kick out a 2.10.1 to fix this?
