Now let´s get to the highlight of pro v1.5.3:

upgraded leaflet to v0.7.2

With the release of Google Chrome 32, zooming on pro maps (with leaflet v0.7.*) got partially broken for Chrome 32 users. This has been fixed by integrating the latest leaflet version 0.7.2, which was released by Mourner today, many thanks! An update to pro v1.5.3 is highly recommended!

Vietnamese translation

Thanks to Hoai Thu, http://bizover.net, Vietnamese is now the 34th supported translation by Maps Marker 🙂

map tiles loading via SSL if available

Map tiles for Google Maps and bing maps have already been loaded via SSL if your WordPress site is also being loaded via SSL. I now also added SSL support for OpenStreetMap, Mapbox and OGD Vienna to avoid mixed content warnings in the browser.

Other changes & optimizations

increased security by hardening search input field for markers on backend
optimized performance by moving version checks for PHP and WordPress to register_activation_hook()
optimized performance by running pro active check only on admin pages
