The last few months have been quite a ride for our good ol’ web mapping companion. What should have been a peaceful rest after a lengthy refactoring in version 5 did in fact end up being an involved rewrite of its rendering code: better performance, nicer vector tiles, smoother WebGL, more options and even some Mapbox goodness in there.

In this talk we will take a quick tour of all the new stuff in OpenLayers and talk about the whys and hows, as well as what lies ahead of us. Love maps? We do too, come along!
