 * Set `MapboxMap` flags during gestures and animations. ([#754](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-maps-ios/pull/754))
 * Treat anchor as constant for `ease(to:)` animations. ([#772](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-maps-ios/pull/772))
 * Fix experimental snapshot API for iOS 15. ([#760](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-maps-ios/pull/760))
+* Decelerate more quickly (or not at all) on pitched maps. ([#773](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-maps-ios/pull/773))
