DEPRECATION: Geocoder.near should not take
:limit
or:offset
options. -
DEPRECATION: Change argument format of all methods that take lat/lon as separate arguments. Now you must pass the coordinates as an array [lat,lon], but you may alternatively pass a address string (will look up coordinates) or a geocoded object (or any object that implements a to_coordinates method which returns a [lat,lon] array).
-
Add support for result caching.

bearing
attribute to objects returned by geo-aware queries (thanks github.com/matellis). -

obj.nearbys
second argument is now an options hash (instead of units). Please changeobj.nearbys(20, :km)
to:obj.nearbys(20, :units => :km)
.
-

DEPRECATION:
fetch_coordinates!
has been superceded bygeocode
(then save your object manually). -
DEPRECATION:
fetch_address!
has been superceded byreverse_geocode
