v11.23.0-rc.1

Features ✨ and improvements 🏁

• Support symbol paint properties in appearances — symbol layers can now use feature-dependent appearances for paint properties (not only layout), enabling richer per-feature styling of text and icons.
• Improve rendering performance of feature cutouts — optimized depth sampling in the cutout shader yields noticeably smoother rendering when feature cutouts are enabled (e.g. elevated route with cutouts).
• [tile_store] Evict tiles based on LRU and optimize eviction — the default eviction policy now uses least-recently-used instead of expiration-based scoring, keeping frequently-viewed tiles around longer and making cleanup passes faster.
• [tile_store] TileStore can now store 3D landmark/navigation tile content types, unblocking their use in offline regions.
• [tile_store] Add support for USB import radius — new import parameter for seeding offline tile packs from USB media within a configurable radius.
• Settings can be set on startup — MapboxCommon now loads persistent_settings.json and non_persistent_settings.json from the app data path at startup, allowing configuration changes without an app rebuild.

Bug fixes 🐞

• Fix scale-factor applied twice to icon with feature-dependent icon-size — icons using a data-driven icon-size no longer render over-sized under non-default scale factors.
• Fix fog range for custom FOVs in globe view — the globe no longer washes out in fog at small FOV changes; default globe fog range was retuned for more natural appearance.
• Fix for broken files in gl-native cache — the tile store worker now handles a code path that could leave corrupted entries in the gl-native disk cache, eliminating related load failures.
• Prevent tilestore crash on shutdown — fixed a use-after-free in the tile store worker that could crash the app when the tile store was torn down while work was still in flight.

Dependencies

• Update MapboxCommon to 24.23.0-rc.1.
