Release v4.0.0 · googlemaps/js-three

4.0.0 (2023-03-28)

db1ccd9: the three.js classes required by the overlay no longer need to be passed into the constructor. peerDependencies (bundled / ESM) and global scope lookups (UMD) are used instead (closes #613)
db1ccd9: direct ESM usage without importmaps is no longer supported
ce27d56: the default up-direction is now the z-axis, which is in line with the coordinates used within google maps
ce27d56: constructor parameters rotation and scale have been removed. Instead there is a new parameter upAxis that can be used to specify the rotation of the world-coordinate system
ce27d56: coordinate conversion has been fixed, instead of the latLngToVector3* functions, the new overlay.latLngAltitudeToVector3() should be used
077b5eb: public property overlay.anchor replaced with private property and setAnchor() method
c93f45b: overlay will no longer keep running the animation loop to allow for energy efficient use (specify the animationMode: "always" option to get the previous behaviour back).

f85b667: added overlay.raycast() to help with building interactive applications (closes #20)
a028aab: added overlay.onBeforeDraw() as a way to implement custom behaviour
c93f45b: new option animationMode to control if the overlay should keep rendering on every frame or only when requested
24077d6: new option addDefaultLighting to add some default lighting to the scene that approximates the lighting used by the basemap (closes #22)
