We preserve the documented interfaces across versions. The auto-upgrade to 3.3 could only break your app if you are using undocumented interfaces. We use versioning to give sites a few months to report bugs and double-check their site against upcoming versions. On Mon, Mar 7, 2011 at 9:56 AM, Stef

Some sites want to control the z-indices of their markers. If we were to add an API-computed z-index to their z-index, that could change the ordering of their markers. So if a site wants to control the z-indices of their markers, we should do exactly what they say. The issue here is that some site

That would set the z index to 0. We need a way to let you specify z-index of 0 versus letting the API default to z-index by height. We use null/undefined to mean "please default to z-index by height". On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 9:00 AM, Esa wrote: > > > > > > > setZIndex(null); > > > > > recovers t
