Item Description
Bug Fixed a bug in the desktop design where SELECT() functions searching a slice when run in a form view incorrectly included the unsaved changes in the form.This fix is being rolled out gradually. It is deployed to 100% of free users.
Bug Update Google Maps to take into account the user locale when rendering the map. Specifically, the region from the browser locale is being passed to Google Maps rather than using the default.

Can you explain what that means? What was the before behavior? What is it now?

We are now passing the region from the browser local into our usage of the google maps api: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/localization

Previously we were not explicitly passing in a region so it would resort to the default which I believe is biased towards the United States.

Thank you @amyplin What is the benefit for us? Better or faster Places Autocomplete?

@lizlynch @amyplin Could you please answer my last question?

@Fabian_Weller sorry I missed this - it’s mainly for displaying region specific map tiles and borders, and will also allow for more region specific geocoding results. Ex: If a user searches for an ambiguous location name (e.g., “Springfield”), setting the region parameter ensures that the API prioritizes results from that specified region.
