Yesterday we released Esri Leaflet v2.1.0. If you've been keeping up with current events you're aware that Leaflet itself recently released v1.1.0. These two pair nicely together, but our previous release was compatible with Leaflet v1.1.0 too.

To make a long story long, the Leaflet maintainers latest release is a refactor of their raw source into ES6 modules. Our own Patrick Arlt, trailblazer that he is, helped with the initial research (and migrated our own plugin codebase) way back in 2015.

On the other hand, our new release is pure features (and a few bug fixes) and includes four different contributions from userland:

  1. @Saulzi introduced error handling for DynamicMapLayer and ImageMapLayer (courtesy of another patch he made in Leaflet core)

  1. Thanks to @scaddenp its now possible to use DynamicMapLayer in maps with polar projections.
  2. A contribution from @bbehling means that you can now pass input geometry types other than points when identifying features.
  3. @jordanparfitt patched a bug that caused problems when setting definition expressions on layers that aren't currently being displayed.
  4. We also ported a couple new features from ArcGIS Server 10.5, including adding the ability to retrieve raw unformatted features from Find and Identify and making sure you can apply a datum transformation when calling Query.

You can find information in the v2.1.0 changelog. If you're interested in learning more JavaScript and getting involved, feel free to reach out to us on GitHub or in the #leafletjs or #arcgis-web channels in The Spatial Community.

We're looking forward to seeing what you build with it!
