Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Added - New supply sources (web tile servers): - `thunderforest atlas` - `topplusopen web light` - `topplusopen web light grau` - Needed LaTeX version 2023-11-01 - Point definitions on an orthodrome: - Command `mrcNPfromOrthoFraction` - Command `mrcNPfromOrthoFractionNamed` - Command `mrcNPfromOrthoDistance` - Command `mrcNPfromOrthoDistanceNamed` - Animation support: - Environment `mrcAnimation` - Command `mrcTimewarpIdentity` - Command `mrcTimewarpSlowStart` - Command `mrcTimewarpSlowFinal` - Command `mrcTimewarpSlowStartFinal` - Command `mrcAnimFrame` - Command `l_mermap_anim_frame_int` - Command `mrcAnimTime` - Command `l_mermap_anim_time_fp` - Command `mrcAnimScaleDenom` - Command `l_mermap_anim_scaledenom_fp` - Command `mrcAnimLatitude` - Command `l_mermap_anim_lat_fp` - Command `mrcAnimLongitude` - Command `l_mermap_anim_lon_fp` - Option `start-position` - Option `named-start-position` - Option `final-position` - Option `named-final-position` - Option `position` - Option `named-position` - Option `frames` - Option `drop-first-frame` - Option `drop-last-frame` - Option `drop-no-frame` - Option `scale-denominators` - Option `common-scale-denominator` - Option `timewarp` - Option `timewarp-identity` - Option `timewarp-slow-start` - Option `timewarp-slow-final` - Option `timewarp-slow-start-final`
### Changed - Version history moved from documentation Chapter 11 to this changelog - Versioning changed to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) starting with 1.1.0 - `README` changed to `README.md` - Key names start with `mermap` instead of `/mermap` now - All common scratch variables like `l_tmpa_tl` replaced by package variables - Orthodrome code - Several code further revisions
### Deprecated - Stamen Design has discontinued to server map tiles since 2023-07-31. Therefore, all `supply/source` options based on Stamen Design are deprecated now, namely - `stamen terrain` - `stamen terrain-background` - `stamen terrain-labels` - `stamen terrain-lines` - `stamen toner` - `stamen toner-lite` - `stamen toner-hybrid` - `stamen toner-background` - `stamen toner-labels` - `stamen toner-lines` - `stamen watercolor` All these options are now not documented any more, but for some time are still available for old documents with cached map tiles.
### Removed - Requirement for packages `expl3`, `xparse`, and `pdftexcmds`
### Fixed - Links to the WMS maps of Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie changed - Overwrite warning while generating `maptiles.texpy` - Orthodrome drawing with identical starting and final point is now silently ignored
