Javascript Maps API Changelog

The Javascript Maps API is updated approximately once a week. For information on versioning, read this section of our documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/basics.html#API_Updates

This is the official changelog. An alternative developer-contributed changelog is here: http://mapki.com/wiki/Changelog

Note: The versioning process has recently changed which affected how frequently new versions are pushed out. Below is an overview of the new process.

  • Latest (v=2.x) versions are updated frequently, on average more than once a week. No formal documentation will be posted for each version unless visible issues were updated.
  • Current (v=2) versions are updated typically once every few weeks. New versions here will be formally documented with the list of updated issues.
  • All current (v=2) versions can be accessed numerically, e.g. v=2.193
  • Not every version pushed to v=2.x can be accessed numerically. If an unsupported numeric version is requested, the next-most supported version is returned instead, e.g. v=2.190 to v=2.193
