Nov 1, 2024November 2024 (iTowns/itowns): Strengthened map rendering reliability and styling versatility through robust vector tile parsing, improved rendering of labels and polygons, and alignment with modern styling standards. Key features delivered include a robustness overhaul of the VectorTileParser (empty FeatureCollection handling when no layers or all features filtered; one feature per vtfeature), plus zoom-aware label constraints and improved management for lines/polygons to ensure correct visibility and fill behavior. Several style improvements were implemented, including MVTStyle layer inheritance via the ref property, migration from Mapbox GL Style to MapLibre GL Style, and style simplifications to streamline handling. Updated icons rendering behaviors and example/demos to reflect these changes, alongside maintenance fixes for stroke rendering. These changes collectively improve rendering fidelity, developer ergonomics, and readiness for broader deployment, delivering tangible business value in map accuracy, stability, and style portability.
