### Changed
- Version history moved from documentation Chapter 11 to this changelog
- Versioning changed to [Semantic Versioning](
http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)
starting with 1.1.0
- `README` changed to `README.md`
- Key names start with `mermap` instead of `/mermap` now
- All common scratch variables like `\l_tmpa_tl` replaced by package variables
- Orthodrome code
- Several code further revisions
### Deprecated
- Stamen Design has discontinued to server map tiles since 2023-07-31.
Therefore, all `supply/source` options based on Stamen Design are
deprecated now, namely
- `stamen terrain`
- `stamen terrain-background`
- `stamen terrain-labels`
- `stamen terrain-lines`
- `stamen toner`
- `stamen toner-lite`
- `stamen toner-hybrid`
- `stamen toner-background`
- `stamen toner-labels`
- `stamen toner-lines`
- `stamen watercolor`
All these options are now not documented any more, but for some time
are still available for old documents with cached map tiles.
### Removed
- Requirement for packages `expl3`, `xparse`, and `pdftexcmds`
### Fixed
- Links to the WMS maps of Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie changed
- Overwrite warning while generating `maptiles.texpy`
- Orthodrome drawing with identical starting and final point is now silently ignored
