The 7.0 release includes an impressive batch of features and fixes from over 90 pull requests. We're excited about a new foundation for WebGL vector rendering. The previous point rendering functionality has been extended to include lines and polygons. The rendering API is still low level and experimental. Future releases will include a higher level styling API.

In developing the new WebGL rendering functionality, we changed the signature for a number of methods on a helper class that had been marked as part of the API in 6.x releases. While this is technically a breaking change, it is unlikely that applications were using this helper class, so upgrades should be straightforward.

We took advantage of the breaking change in the WebGL helper class to remove a few other deprecated parts of the API. In addition, since Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer a few months ago, we decided to do the same.

Backwards incompatible changes

Removal of deprecated properties and methods

  • The tilePixelRatio has been removed from the DataTile source.
  • The imageSmoothing option has been removed from sources.
  • The undefinedHTML option has been removed from the MousePosition control.
  • The forEachLayerAtPixel method has been removed from the Map class.
  • Deprecated options have been removed from the Overlay component.
  • The labelCache has been removed from the ol/render/canvas.js module.

Internet Explorer is no longer supported

Please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/internet-explorer-11-end-of-support.

ol/webgl/Helper.js

The Helper constructor from the ol/webgl/Helper.js module is no longer part of the public API.

ol/coordinate.js

The toStringHDMS function from the ol/coordinate.js module now formats longitude, latitude pairs so that the minutes and seconds are omitted if they are zero. This changes the values displayed on graticules.

ol/layer/Graticule

The default intervals now align with integer minutes and seconds better suited to the default label formatter. If formatting in decimal degrees you may wish to specify custom intervals suited to that format.

ol/Collection

Inserting with setAt or insertAt beyond the current length used to create a sparse Collection with undefined inserted for any missing indexes. This will now throw an error instead.

ol/control/MousePosition

The control will now by default keep displaying the last mouse position when the mouse leaves the viewport. With placeholder: ' ' you can keep the old behaviour. The placeholder option no longer accepts false as a valid value, instead simply omit the option. The undefinedHTML option has been removed. You should use placeholder instead.

ol/PluggableMap

The PluggableMap class has been removed. If you want to create a custom map class, extend the Map class instead.

ol/style/Icon and ol/style/RegularShape

ol/style/Image and subclasses displacement is no longer scaled with the image. If you previously expected this unintended behavior you should now increase the displacement when setting the scale.
