With v3.11.1 we fixed several bugs and also optimized the usability of the new geocoding provider feature.
Please also have a look at our new blog post about our new partnership with Mapzen – our the new default geocoding provider for Leaflet Maps Marker.
Pro v2.8.1 has also been released today – upgrade today for more features and optimizations.
An update to the latest version is – as always – highly recommended.

Now let´s get to the highlights of pro v3.11.1:
Please be aware that since Apple release iOS 10, https for your website is now also required on Safari 10+ if you want to offer the geolocation feature to your visitors. See this post for more details.
With v3.11 we increased the maximum zoom level for OpenStreetMap and Stamen maps – this resulted in no map tiles being shown on retina devices when using the highest zoom level.
With this version we added a temporary workaround by automatically disabling retina device detection on mobiles. We will remove this workaround again after updating leaflet.js in Leaflet Maps Marker to v0.7.7, which we have on our roadmap for the near future.
FYI: Maps Marker Pro is not affected from this bug and no workaround has been included there, as leaflet.js version 0.7.7 is already used there.
