• Improvement: Register scripts and styles properly prior to enqueuing them for other plugins and themes
• Improvement: Marker Creation Improvements - 1) Sometimes markers disappear in the post edit screen. 2) Sometimes markers don't get output on the front end correctly. 3)Sometimes markers don't get generated in the post edit screen at all.
• Fix: Investigated + resolved several Google Maps API conflicts - Often when a user has a theme or plugin that registers Google Maps it breaks our plugin or ours breaks theirs. We now check for other Google Map enqueues, and if present the plugin attempts to dequeue them in favor for ours. So far this has fixed issues with Uber Menu 3, Contact Forms 7, as well as many additional plugins.
• Fix: Maps placed in hidden tabs now redraw properly when the tab is selected
• Fix: Found and resolved conflict with ACF plugin Google Maps field

• General: The plugin's official name has dropped the word "Google" for brand compliance. It's now called "Maps Builder"
• General: Removed "Places API Key" field because Google Maps API doesn't require it to query the library
• General: Added "Google Maps API Key" field to track API usage within Google's Developer Console @see: https://github.com/WordImpress/google-maps-builder/issues/48
• General: Javascript cleanup and optimization
