Version bump

Update highlights​

!!!This version requires PHP 8.0+!!!

This version mainly introduces compatibility with XenForo 2.3. The add-on has been fully updated, meaning no compatibility layers such as loading jQuery or other such patches are required for this add-on.

One big thing to highlight is the fact that Google Maps has been deprecated and replaced with Leaflet/OpenStreetMaps. You no longer need an API key or worry about being charged by Google for your member map. All functionality should be retained.

Furthermore, a few reported bugs since the release of the last version for XenForo 2.2 have also been resolved.

Complete Change Log​

Change: Reduced query count due to new XenForo 2.3 functionality

Change: Updated macros to XF 2.3 format
Change: Replaced Google Maps with Leaflet/OpenStreetMaps
Change: Replace various references with class-string<T> equivalents
Change: Update code for PHP 8.0
Change: Remove "XenForo" from copyright footer
Change: Necessary changes for the new XenForo 2.3 coding style
Change: Automatically clean up files on upgrade
Fix: Fixed template modifications

Hi all,

I'm using the "Post an update" feature as this is quite an important announcement; starting with v3 of Member Map for XF2.3, the underlying map technology will change from Google Maps to Leaflet.

The following map providers will be used:

• Roadmap: Deleted, as I could not find a suitable alternative
• Satellite: https://server.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer
• Hybrid: https://www.openstreetmap.org/
• Terrain: https://www.openstreetmap.org/

You will no longer need a Google Maps API key and the corresponding option will be deleted.

The reason for this change is simple: I couldn't test the jQuery -> Vanilla JS changes without giving Google my billing information.

While I will do my best to replicate every feature from Google Maps, some features may be unavailable. Thus far, I believe only the "Roadmap" map type will be lost, as clustering/custom icons will still be available.
