Attention: this is not the changelog for the latest stable version 4.29.1 (see related release notes)

v3.10.4 adds a few optimizations and bugfixes as well as updated translations – please read below for more details.

For even more features and optimizations (see the comparision page), please use the integrated pro upgrader to start a free 30-day-trial of Maps Marker Pro.

Pro v2.7 has also been released today with the following highlights:

  • support for multi-layer-map filtering on frontend
  • support for paging and search in the list of markers below layer maps
  • support for sorting list of markers based on current geolocation
  • RESTful API allowing you to access some of the common core functionalities
  • Javascript Events API for LeafletJS to to attach events handlers to markers and layers
  • “resize map link”-button allowing you to restore the map to its initial state
  • AJAX support for deleting a layer from “list all layers”-page (no reload needed anymore)
  • support for highlighting markers also on fullscreen layer maps by using the URL parameter ?highlightmarker=…
  • option to center maps on popup centers instead of markers when opening popups
  • use marker zoom level for centering markers on layer maps by clicking on list of markers-links (can be changed to layer zoom in settings)
  • add paging support on layer edit pages for the table below the editor (listing all assigned markers)
  • show edit-marker-link as image in list of markers for each marker on backend and frontend
  • new tool: marker validity check for layer assignements to verify if markers are assigned to layers that do not exist (anymore)
  • new “tap” & “tapTolerance” interaction options (enables mobile hacks for supporting instant taps) – thx Mauricio!
  • new “bounceAtZoomLimits” maps interaction option (to disable bouncing back when pinch-zooming beyond min/max zoom level)
  • new interaction option to enable scrollWheelZoom for fullscreen maps only (thx iamjwk!)
  • improved Google maps performance by reducing laggy panning (thx rcknr!)
  • “open popup”-links in the list of markers below layer maps now also change URL for better shareability (by adding ?highlightmarker=… – thx Peter!)
  • better performance on marker edit pages due to optimized loading of custom TinyMCE CSS stylesheets

An update to the latest version is – as always – highly recommended.
