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

Free v3.7 replaces the old csv export method with an optimized and updated CSV/XLS/XLSX export method and also includes smaller optimizations under the hood as well as some bugfixes.

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

Pro v1.4 has also been released today with the following highlight:

Now let´s get into the highlights of v3.7:

export markers as csv/xls/xlsx files

Within the plugins header, you now find a new entry “Import/Export” which allows you to start an export (and import when using pro version):

import1

Other changes & optimizations

  • switched from curl() to wp_remote_post() on API geocoding calls for higher compatibility
  • Improved error handling on metadata errors on bing maps – use console.log() instead of alert()

Bugfixes

  • alignment of panel and list marker icon images could be broken on certain themes
  • added fix for loading maps in woocommerce tabs (thx Glenn!)
  • default error tile image and map deleted image showed wrong www.mapsmarker.com url (ups)
  • backslashes in map name and address broke GeoJSON output (and thus layer maps) – now replaced with /
  • tabs in popuptext (character literals) broke GeoJSON output (and thus layer maps) – now replaced with space
