Mapzen Android SDK 1.6.1

This is a minor update with exciting changes to cartography and graphics. It brings support for themes to Android and upgrades Tangram. Take a look at the cartography documentation for more details!

Graphics

• Upgrades to Tangram 0.8.1 (aeddc24)

Cartography

• Upgrades all stylesheets to latest releases which includes support for 512 tiles (aeddc24)
• Adds support for Themes! (aeddc24)

Other

Mapzen Android SDK 1.6.0

This release introduces support for cartography themes in Refill! See the notes below for the other features of this release.

Cartography

Graphics

Other

Upgrade Notes

• Now that RefillStyle is a ThemedMapStyle, its default label level and lod are aligned with the defaults listed in the cartography documentation (level 5). This means that if you would like to preserve the previous Android SDK defaults for theses values (level 10), you will need to specify them when setting the style (using MapzenMap#setStyleLabelLevelLodThemeColor or MapzenMap#setStyleLabelLevelLodThemeColorAsync)
