1.3.4

• Use better default values so plugin does not break if you don’t enter a default zoom level or map type.

1.3.3

• Load scripts over HTTPS. Fixes https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-blocked-map-not-showing.

1.3.2

• Fixed strict standards warning

1.3.1

• Static maps did not care about any preferred zoom level that was set in GUI. Now they do, funky funky!

1.3

• Add dropdown to select preferred zoom level for each map
• Show notice in admin if user does not have Simple Fields installed

1.2.2

• Fixed notice error if no additional image sizes where used in the theme currently in use

1.2.1

• Added support for coordinates with negative latitude/longitude locations, like this one: 2.033630,-76.007050
• Added version number to scripts/styles to cache bust.

1.2

• Added support for adding marker by entering its lng/lat coordinates. Valid formats are: 48.858278,2.294254 or 48.858278 2.294254
• Made plugin translatable

1.1.6

• Fixed a bug with the latest version of Simple Fields

1.1.5

• It’s tricky to create to class because Simple Fields must be added/loaded already when creating the class. The modified solution works, but perhaps only on specific versions of PHP. Have to check this in more details…

1.1.4

• A marker/location can now be removed/unset.
  This is useful if you have a map field added to all your posts, but wan’t to exclude the map for a single post.
  This is also the default behavior, so a post don’t not risk being saved with the wrong position (or at least the risk is lower).

1.1.3

• Autocomplete was out of control when using repeatable fields. It’s now back in control.

1.1.2

• The search box is now much better. It can search for Places, i.e. establishments, geographic locations, or prominent points of interest.
• Return values now return much more info if the location was selected through the new autocomplete place search. The return array now also have:
  • The name of the selected place
  • The formatted address of the place
  • A address_components-object thas has (according to Google): a “collection of address components for this Place’s location”

1.1.1

• Modified the way args are passed with return_values, since wp_parse_args don’t work recursive.

1.1.0

• Added static maps to return values.

1.0.2

• Clearified the fact that you need the latest version of Simple Fields.

1.0.1

• Typos in readme

1.0

• Version 1. It works and it’s groovy!
