Breaking Changes

• Oceans no longer contains map labels, labels have been added as another key OceansLabels.
• L.esri.FeatureLayer no longer inherits from L.GeoJSON and as a result no longer has getBounds, bringToBack or bringToFront or addData methods.
• L.esri.Util.geojsonBounds has been removed. If you need to get the bounding box of a GeoJSON object please use Terraformer or L.GeoJSON.
• Many other utility methods have been removed. If you were using methods in the L.esri.Util namespace please check that they exist.
• Layers no longer fire a metadata event. They now have a metadata method that can be used to get layer metadata. If you need to convert extents into L.LatLngBounds you can use L.esri.Util.extentToBounds.
• L.esri.DynamicMapLayer no longer inherits from L.ImageOverlay as a result the setUrl method no longer exists.
• You can no longer pass a cluster object to L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer, instead pass any options you want to pass to L.MarkerClusterGroup directly to L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer.
• You can no long pass a string for the layerDefs option on L.esri.DynamicMapLayer. Layer definitions should now be passed as an object like {'0':'STATE_NAME='Kansas' and POP2007>25000'}
• You can no longer pass a string for the layers option on L.esri.DynamicMapLayer you can now only pass an array of layer ids that will be shown like [0,1,2].
• The createMarker method on L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer has been renamed to pointToLayer.

Changes

• Added OceansLabels to L.esri.BasemapLayer.
• Oceans has switched to the new Ocean basemap with out labels.
• L.esri.FeatureLayer has been refactored into several classes. L.esri.FeatureGrid and L.esri.FeatureManager now handle loading and querying features from the service.
• L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer and L.esri.HeatMapFeatureLayer now inherit from L.L.esri.FeatureManager` so they share many new methods and options.
• L.esri.FeatureLayer, L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer and L.esri.HeatMapFeatureLayer now support time enabled service via from, to, timeFields and timeFilterMode options and setTimeRange(from, to) and getTimeRange() methods.
• L.esri.FeatureLayer, L.esri.ClusteredFeatureLayer and L.esri.HeatMapFeatureLayer now support where options and have new methods for setWhere() and getWhere() to perform filtering.
• L.esri.FeatureLayer now supports generalizing polygon and polyline features on the service side for performance using the new simplifyFactor option.
• Don't throw errors when L.esri.BasemapLayer is added to maps without an attribution control. If you do not add attribution you must handle adding attribution your self to the map.
• Remove rbush. Switch to tracking feature ids with the cell key system.
• Remove L.esri.Util.geojsonBounds as it was only being used to create bounds and envelopes for rbush.
• add bindPopup method to L.esri.DynamicMapLayer.
• add getTimeRange and setTimeRange methods L.esri.DynamicMapLayer.
• New L.esri.Services namespace to handle generic abstraction of interacting with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS server services.
• new L.esri.Services.Service base class that can be used for interacting with any service. All L.esri.Layers classes now uses L.esri.Services.Service internally for their API requests. This class also abstracts authentication and proxying.
• new L.esri.Services.FeatureLayer class for interacting with the Feature Layer API.
• new L.esri.Services.MapService class for interacting with the Map Server API.
• new L.esri.Tasks namespace for tasks that map to individual API methods.
• new L.esri.Tasks.Query class for interacting with the Feature Layer query API.
• new L.esri.Tasks.Identify class for interacting with Map Servers that support identify.
