android-v8.3.0-alpha.3

Changes since Mapbox Maps SDK for Android v8.3.0-alpha.2:

Gestures handling

• Bumped gestures library version to v0.5.0 which replaces the compat gesture detector with a custom scale gesture detector implementation. This is a softly breaking change because the underlying scale gesture detector reference has been removed. This brings a set of improvements to gestures without removing any functionality from the previous implementation. #15136
• Improved scale and rotate gestures by refining sensitivity thresholds and animation velocity. #15136
• Improved quick-zoom gestures by making zoom changes linear. Quick-zoom scale changes are now executed based on y-axis delta changes. #15386

Features

• Introduced the text-writing-mode layout property for symbol layers. This property allows labels to be placed horizontally or vertically. The property accepts an array of enumeration values from a ( horizontal | vertical ) set. #14932
• Added support for fallback fonts in localIdeographFontFamily. #15255

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where it was possible to set the map’s content insets then tilt the map enough to see the horizon, causing performance issues #15195
• Allow loading of a map without a style URI or style JSON #15293
• Fixed an issue where animated camera transitions zoomed in or out too dramatically #15281
• Enable variable label placement when text-allow-overlap property is set to true #15354
