[OpenLayers-Users] maxResolution change

[Christopher Schmidt]

If you're using OpenLayers for any current projects:

I just changed the default maxResolution in subversion to match the
degrees/pixel that Google Maps uses at its highest zoom level. There are
a number of reasons for this:
 * Encourages cachability in the default OpenLayers setup
 * Prevents rounding errors which were occuring when using math to
   determine maxResolution
 * Matches the Google Maps zoom levels, making it easier to convert
   Google Maps  style applications to OpenLayers.

The negative of this is that the whole world does not, by default, fit
into the element that you're viewing it in anymore -- instead it fits
into a 256 pixel tile. This may break behavior for some applications. To
get the old behavior back, use:

new OpenLayers.Map('mapdiv', {maxResolution:null});

in your Map Constructor.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
