Previously, objects generated by the library were given id properties with values that contained dots (e.g. "OpenLayers.Control.Navigation_2"). These same identifiers are also used for DOM elements in some case. Though uncommon, a developer may want to access these elements with a CSS selector. To facilitate this, we now always generate ids with underscore instead of dot.

Removed rounding of zoom level for maps with fractionalZoom == true. So users with an OS and interface device with analog scroll support will now get smooth zooming.

This release changes the way Google layers are integrated with OpenLayers. With this change, OpenLayers should be less fragile to changes of the GMaps API version, because no DOM elements inside the Google container need to be modified by OpenLayers any more.
Application developers should be aware that the Google Map of an OpenLayers.Layer.Google.v3 instance is no longer added to the map's viewPortDiv. Instead, the viewPortDiv is added as Google Maps control to the Google map. This means that when switching base layers, the whole DOM structure below the map's div changes.

We do no longer create a global variable '$' when such a symbol isn't already defined. Previous versions of OpenLayers would define '$' to be an alias for OpenLayers.Util.getElement. If your application requires window.$ to be defined in such a way you can either
-
include deprecated.js in your custom build or as additional ressource in your HTML-file
-
or you do the aliasing in your application code yourself:
window.$ = OpenLayers.Util.getElement;
Corresponding issue/pull requests:
- add the contents of a file as a comment at the front of the build, for example, the output of 'git describe --tags' could be saved as a file and then included
- create build file as an AMD module
run 'build.py -h' for more details

The return type of WMSDescribeLayer format's read method was different from the one of the VersionedOGC format superclass. So it was changed from an array to an object with a layerDescriptions property that holds the array. For backwards compatibility, the object still has a length property and 0, ..., n properties with the previous array values.
