Version 1.5.0 - September 2013
==============================
Features:
  ! This release officially supports iOS 7, and requires iOS 6.0 or later (iOS

    may be set to kGMSMarkerAnimationNone (default) or kGMSMarkerAnimationPop
  - The Google Maps SDK for iOS now ships with an armv7s slice
  - New features for GMSMarker instances
    * Markers can be made draggable using the draggable property, and new drag
      delegate methods have been added to GMSMapViewDelegate

    * The UIImage used by GMSMarker now supports alignmentRectInsets, and will
      adjust groundAnchor, infoWindowAnchor, and the tappable region
  - Added padding on GMSMapView, allowing you to indicate parts of the map that
    may be obscured by other views; setting padding re-positions the standard
    map controls, and the camera and camera updates will use the padded region
  - GMSPanoramaView and GMSPanoramaService now support searching for panoramas
    with custom radius
  - Added cameraForBounds:insets: to GMSMapView, allowing construction of a
    GMSCameraPosition for the map from a specified GMSCoordinateBounds

Resolved Issues:

    selector, and set which floor should be displayed
  - GMSTileLayer now supports high DPI tiles, for use on a Retina device
  - GMSMapView.camera is now observable via KVO
  - Added fitBounds:withEdgeInsets: to GMSCameraUpdate
  - The default behavior of a GMSMapView to consume all gestures within its
    bounds may now be disabled via consumesGesturesInView

    available
  - Updated map design inspired by the new Google Maps
  - Info windows now show at 1:1 resolution on the screen regardless of tilt

  - An improved look and feel for polylines and polygon stroke
  - Added a zIndex property on all overlays; z-indexes are calculated in two
    groups: GMSMarkers and all other overlays
