v7.4.0.md

7.4.0

The 7.4 release includes WebGL vector tiles along with several improvements to vector styling of WebGL layers, a new interaction for one-finger zooming on touch devices, and support for way geometries in the OSMXML parser. Several bug fixes for working with user projections and performance improvements for WebGL tile rendering are also on on board.
