Mapnik Releases
Past, current, and future releases.
3.0.6
Changelog: Api-changes-between-v2.3-and-v3.0
2.2.0
2013-06-03
Changelog: Release2.2.0
The 2.2.0 release is primarily a performance and stability release. The code line represents development in the master branch since the release of 2.1.0 in Aug 2012 and therefore includes nearly a year of bug-fixes and optimizations. Nearly 500 new tests have been added bring the total coverage to 925. Shapefile and PostGIS datasources have benefited from numerous stability fixes, 64 bit integer support has been added to support OSM data in the grid renderer and in attribute filtering, and many fixes have landed for higher quality output when using a custom scale_factor during rendering. Critical code paths have been optimized include raster rendering, xml map loading, string to number conversion, vector reprojection when using epsg:4326 and epsg:3857, hextree encoding, halo rendering, and rendering when using a custom gamma. Mapnik 2.2 also compiles faster than previous releases in the 2.x series and drops several unneeded and hard to install dependencies making builds on OS X and Windows easier than any previous release.
- This release attempts to maintain backward compatibility in the XML styling interface and will issue new deprecation warnings for any changes. See API-changes-between-v2.1-and-v2.2 for details.
2.1.0
2012-08-23
Changelog: Release2.1.0
- This release includes significant refactoring in Mapnik core, with many new features like image compositing, geometry i/o formats, image-filters, and geometry clipping and smoothing. It has vastly improved map loading speeds and better rendering performance all around.
- This release attempts to maintain backward compatibility in the XML styling interface and will issue new deprecation warnings for changes. See API-changes-between-v2.0-and-v2.1 for details.
- New datasource plugins include: GeoJSON, CSV, and Python.
- This release does not maintain full backwards compatibility in the python datasource API - notably the mapnik.Feature interface has changed slightly and now requires a mapnik.Context to be passed to the constructor.
- This release includes major refactoring of the TextSymbolizer, but should still be backwards compatible from XML and python.
2.0.2
2012-08-03
Changelog: Release2.0.2
Small bugfix release. Significance is a several memory leaks and crash possibilities were fixed as well as change to marker width/height was reverted that was originally backported to 2.0.1 and should not have been since it changes the rendered size of marker ellipses.
2.0.1
2012-04-09
Changelog: Release2.0.1
Small bugfix release. Significance is full compatibility with PostGIS 2.0 and it rolls back library naming from libmapnik2 to libmapnik and in python now again supports import mapnik, while still supporting import mapnik2 in a deprecated mode.
2.0.0
2011-09-26
Changelog: Release2.0.0

0.7.1
2010-11-15
Changelog: Release0.7.1
- Behavior change in SCons build, should now prefer linking to user installed libraries over system libs.

- Better quantized PNG output
0.7.0
2010-02-03
Changelog: Release0.7.0
- Major behavior change: PostGIS plugin now throws
