⚠️ Breaking changes ⚠️

  • Replace fill-extrude-height and fill-extrude-base properties of fill render type with a separate fill-extrusion type (with corresponding fill-extrusion-height and fill-extrusion-base properties), solving problems with render parity and runtime switching between flat and extruded fills. mapbox/mapbox-gl-style-spec#554
  • Change the units for extrusion height properties (fill-extrusion-height, fill-extrusion-base) from "magic numbers" to meters. #3509
  • Remove mapboxgl.Control class and change the way custom controls should be implemented. #3497
  • Remove mapboxgl.util functions: inherit, extendAll, debounce, coalesce, startsWith, supportsGeolocation. #3441 #3571
  • mapboxgl.util is deprecated and will be removed in the next release. #1408
