v3.10.0

Summary

The v3.10.0 release includes features and fixes from 66 pull requests since the v3.9.0 release. New features and improvements include:

• Full touch gesture support for the Microsoft Edge browser.
• Improved API docs - required constructor options are now marked as such.
• Text styles (vector labels) now work with defaults instead of failing when only a label text is set.
• Write support for GML3 features with multiple geometries

See the complete list below for details. And see the following notes to know how to upgrade from v3.9.0 to v3.10.0.

Upgrade notes

ol.layer.Layer changes

The experimental setHue, setContrast, setBrightness, setSaturation, and the corresponding getter methods have been removed. These properties only worked with the WebGL renderer. If you are interested in applying color transforms, look for the postcompose event in the API docs. In addition, the ol.source.Raster source provides a way to create new raster data based on arbitrary transforms run on any number of input sources.

Removal of legacy Internet Explorer support

If you are building an appliction that supports Internet Explorer 8 or older, you'll need to use ES5 shims to make OpenLayers work. As before, support for such old browsers is very basic, and we recommend to not support them.
