We now reuse tile images by maintaining a cache of image elements with a
simplified LRU expiry policy (by order, not by timestamp). The tile queue
is bypassed for images that are available in the cache, so they can be
rendered immediately. And the tile queue itself loads more than just one
image at a time now (2 per layer url).
In addition to relying on removeBackBufferDelay, we can remove the
backbuffer earlier without flicker in an ontransitionend listener on the
last loaded tile.
OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT.m should equal
OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT.Meters, just like OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT.km
should equal OpenLayers.Inches_PER_UNIT.Kilometers. This confusion probably
comes from mixing International inches with US Survey inches when compiling
the unit conversion list (1 meter is 39.37007874 International inches, but
39.37 US Survey inches. It may not be obvious, but 'inches'/'Inch' in
OpenLayers means US Survey inch, and 'IInch' means International inch).
This change also fixes offsets caused by incorrect resolution calculations in
OpenLayers.Format.WMTSCapabilities.
The Bing REST api still returns HTTP urls in meta data even if
we hit the API over SSL. This replaces http:// with // to
avoid any SSL browser errors.
Default to replacing with // but can force http: or https: with the
protocol parameter
This avoids issues with Elements renderers, where the nodeFactory method
cannot find nodes while the map viewport is transitioning from the mapDiv
to the googleControl.
Because this method is called by OpenLayers.Function.bindAsEventListener,
which conditionally assigns window.event already, e cannot be null or
undefined here.
The control div is now an empty container that we can always append to and
remove from without having to worry about GMaps changing styles on it. It
also makes sure that the control is appended before Google's own
attribution control, so the "Report a map error" link will always be
clickable.
Simple and effective: As soon as a map has a Google layer, the whole map viewport is added as control to the GMap. As soon as no Google layer is visible on the map any more, the map viewport is appended to the map container again. With this change, OpenLayers strictly limits its GMaps integration to the GMaps API.
Also note that there are no css overrides for the attribution any more. Instead, controls can now be conditionally positioned differently for Google layer by using the .olForeignContainer selector.
