CesiumJS 1.114

1.114 - 2024-02-01

Highlights include several improvements to interaction with 3D Tiles:

• By default, the screen space camera controller will no longer go inside or under instances of Cesium3DTileset. #11581
• Clamping to ground, HeightReference.CLAMP_TO_GROUND, and HeightReference.RELATIVE_TO_GROUND now take into account 3D Tilesets. #11604
• The Cesium3DTileset.dynamicScreenSpaceError optimization is now enabled by default, and tuned to improve performance for street-level horizon views. #11718
• Added Cesium3DTileset.getHeight to sample height values of the loaded tiles. #11581
• Fog rendering now applies to glTF models and 3D Tiles. #11744

Other changes include:

• Added createWorldBathymetryAsync helper function to make it easier to load Bathymetry terrain. #11790
• Removed the need for node internal packages http, https, url and zlib in the Resource class. This means they do not need to be marked external by build tools anymore. #11773
• Fixed an issue causing crashes with multiple data sources #7758 and #9154.
• Fixed a geometry displacement affecting iOS devices #7100

See the changelog for the complete list of changes.

CesiumJS 1.113

1.113 - 2024-01-02

Highlights include:

• Vertical exaggeration can now be applied to a Cesium3DTileset. Exaggeration of Terrain and Cesium3DTileset can be controlled simultaneously via the new Scene properties Scene.verticalExaggeration and Scene.verticalExaggerationRelativeHeight. #11655
• Changes the default RequestScheduler.maximumRequestsPerServer from 6 to 18. This should improve performance on HTTP/2 servers and above. #11627
• Corrected JSDoc and Typescript definitions that marked optional arguments as required in ImageryProvider constructor. #11625
• The Quaternion.computeAxis function created an axis that was (0,0,0) for the unit quaternion, and an axis that was (NaN,NaN,NaN) for the quaternion (0,0,0,-1) (which describes a rotation about 360 degrees). Now, it returns the x-axis (1,0,0) in both of these cases. #11665

See the changelog for the complete list of changes.

CesiumJS 1.112

1.112 - 2023-12-01

Highlights include:

• Fixed terrain lockups in requestTileGeometry by ensuring promise handling aligns with CesiumJS's expectations. #11630
• Corrected JSDoc and Typescript definitions that marked optional arguments as required in Cesium3dTileset.fromIonAssetId #11623, and IonImageryProvider.fromAssetId #11624

See the changelog for the complete list of changes.

CesiumJS 1.111

1.111 - 2023-11-01

Highlights include:

• BingMapsImageryProvider.fromUrl now takes an optional mapLayer parameter which is a string that maps directly to the mapLayer template parameters specified in the Bing Maps documentation.
• By default, createGooglePhotorealistic3DTileset no longer shows credits on screen, as this is compliant with the minimum required attribution. To restore this behavior, pass the option showCreditsOnScreen: true. #11589
• Fixed an issue with polygon hole rendering. #11583
• Fixed error with rhumb lines that have a 0 degree heading. #11573

See the changelog for the complete list of changes.

CesiumJS 1.110.1

1.110.1 - 2023-10-25

Highlights include:

• CesiumJS no longer ships with a demo Google Maps API key. GoogleMaps.defaultApiKey is no longer defined by default.
• createGooglePhotorealistic3DTileset by default now provides tiles via Cesium ion if the GoogleMaps.defaultApiKey is not set.

See the changelog for the complete list of changes.
