Future of Leaflet
summary
Leaflet 1.0 is imminent and focuses on internal rewrites not flashy features: fractional zoom enables smooth zoom levels and ballistic panning; vectors are rewritten so SVG adds are about three times faster and canvas supports partial redraws and retina; tile logic splits into GridLayer and TileLayer so custom WebGL or canvas tiles are easy; layer construction is roughly eight times faster, event handling and memory use drop, multipolygon bugs are fixed and the overall codebase is smaller.
