🚀 New Modules

@turf/voronoi

Takes a FeatureCollection of points, and a bounding box, and returns a FeatureCollection of Voronoi polygons.
(PR #1043 - Author @stevage)

@turf/shortest-path

Returns the shortest path from start to end without colliding with any feature in obstacles
(PR #956 - Author @stebogit)

@turf/boolean-parallel

Boolean-Parallel returns True if each segment of line1 is parallel to the correspondent segment of line2
(PR #941 - Author @stebogit)

@turf/nearest-point-on-line

Takes a {@link Point} and a {@link LineString} and calculates the closest Point on the (Multi)LineString.
(PR #939 - Author @stebogit)

🏅 New Features/Enhancements

• Updates @turf/unkink-polygon testing & added flattenEach instead of using flatten.
  (PR Update unkink-polygon testing/refactoring #889)

• Add multi-geomtry support to @turf/line-split
  (PR Fix issue #1075 #1078)

• Improve @turf/meta lineEach method to provide properties, id and bbox
  (PR lineEach returns LineString including properties, bbox & id #1010)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixes @turf/helpers earth radius variable
  (PR Update earth radius #1012)

• Fixes @turf/polygon-tangents bug
  (PR Fix for #1050 and #1032 #1058)

• Fixes @turf/line-chunk bug when the number of segments is integer
  (PR fix bug when the number of segments is integer(line-chunk) #1046)

• Fixes segmentEach and segmentReduce methods in @turf/meta to ensure something is returned
  (PR Fix segmentReduce & segmentEach @turf/meta #968)

⚠️ Breaking Change

• Optional parameters are now defined as an Object:

Before

var from = [-75.343, 39.984];
var to = [-75.534, 39.123];
var units = 'miles';
var distance = turf.distance(from, to, units);

After

var from = [-75.343, 39.984];
var to = [-75.534, 39.123];
var options = {units: 'miles'};
var distance = turf.distance(from, to, options);

Hooray! 🍻 🎉 😃

[ka7eh]

Shouldn't these go into CHANGELOG.md too? I noticed it hasn't been updated for ages.

[DenisCarriere]

@ka7eh Agreed, we've been pushing the release changelogs here, we might want to merge those into the CHANGELOG.md file as well.
