Leaflet 1.2.0 has just been released. The major reason for this release is to address an unfortunate regression in the 1.1.0 release, [causing trouble with several plugins](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/issues/5589). Traditionally, Leaflet plugins has altered and added to Leaflet's namespace (the `L` global), something which is no longer allowed after Leaflet was rebuilt on ES6 modules (an imported module is read-only). To preserve backwards compatibility, we have made a workaround to make the Leaflet namespace and its contents mutable again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the future, we expect to work out a new recommendation for authoring Leaflet plugins, that takes into account how modern JavaScript is built with ES6 modules, instead of modifying the Leaflet namespace.
|

As usual, we also managed to close off a number of other bugs and make a couple of minor improvements, all with the help of our many contributors - a big thank you to all who contributed to the release this summer! See the full [changelog](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for details.
