v5.1.0

The 5.1 release adds a few new features a handful of fixes. You should be able to upgrade without any additional work. See the one note below regarding null geometry coordinates.

We're working toward type checking with TypeScript. This will complete our move away from using the Closure Compiler for type checking and compilation. We're excited about the improved experience for application developers and will highlight some of the benefit in upcoming releases.

Upgrade Notes

Geometry constructor and setCoordinates no longer accept null coordinates

Geometries (ol/geom/*) now need to be constructed with valid coordinates (center for ol/geom/Circle) as first constructor argument. The same applies to the setCoordinates() (setCenter() for ol/geom/Circle`) method.
