Dotless identifiers
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.

Better support for analog scroll wheel
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.

Behavior Changes from Past Releases
window.$ is no longer an alias for OpenLayers.Util.getElement
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;
