Hi all,

I found the time for an OpenLayers plugin release with merged pull requests 
for Stamen map support and fixes for Python API breaks in master branch (See 
https://twitter.com/PirminKalberer/status/294226472707715072 for credits).
The second point was quite annoying for many users and myself. It is a really 
bad practice to break the API without deprecation messages when calling these 
methods. There should be enough time (at least one minor version) for 
developers for updating their plugins. In this case it would have been easy to 
keep the old API and add a deprecation message similar to 
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/391367-deprecated/ 

Regards
Pirmin
