 # 11.27.0-rc.1 July 13, 2026
+## Features ✨ and improvements 🏁
+* Add cross-source HD road elevation for symbols, so road symbols can align to HD elevation data provided by a separate source.
+* Add support for animating the map's vertical field of view.
+* Improve CPU performance when frequently updating layer properties, such as animating paint and layout values.
+* Improve character rotation for some CJK characters in vertical text mode.
+
+## Bug fixes 🐞
+* Fix flickering single-pixel gaps appearing along route lines at elevation feature boundaries as the camera moves.
+* Fix line-aligned labels (such as angled sea names) drifting while panning during the globe-to-mercator zoom transition.
+* Fix radial gradients rendering incorrectly when the focal radius is larger than the outer radius.
+* Fix view annotations not being considered in collision checks against avoid layers, which could result in incorrect placement.
+* Internal fixes and performance improvements.
