There's been some API changes to the SpriteFactory which will break our SemVer conventions if we release this is 2.4.0. Let's release this version as 3.0.0 instead. The next version for development will be 3.1.0.

@bleege
could you add following item: update Mapbox.com examples to the todo list?
This is related to SpriteFactory -> IconFactory from #3304 which is used in custom marker example.

Confirmed that Mapbox Android 3.0.0 is now available on Maven Central. As always, it'll take a few hours before it shows up in Maven Central Search.

@bleege Excellent post and video. For some reason the video looks low res on Mac.

[bleege]

@mb12 I'm glad that you like the post and video! The video is hosted here on Vimeo. Does it still appear low res for you there? If it doesn't there we can look to adjust the embed code in the blog post.

As an aside the source video was a .mp4 using Android Studio's built in device screen recording tools with the default configs (see screenshot below) on a Nexus 5x device.

@bleege Looks hi-res on Vimeo website. Most likely some embed code issue as you mentioned.

[bleege]

@mb12 Cool. Yep, it's the embed code. The stock video is 500 x 281 pixels on Vimeo, but we set the width and height to 100% in the iframe so that the video fits with the responsive layout of the Web site.
