CONTRIBUTING
------------
If you have a usage question, please email help-at-mapbox.com.
If you want to contribute code:
1. In past, for things that are generally useful to mapping libraries, we encouraged contributions to the upstream project [Alpstein/route-me](http://github.com/alpstein/route-me), from which this project is derived. But that project is no longer active, so you can contribute pull here.
**Please note that this legacy tree of the Mapbox iOS SDK is deprecated. As such, this project is not under active development. The `2.0.0` and above tree, based on code located at https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/, is a complete rewrite based on OpenGL ES and vector map rendering.**
1. Please familiarize yourself with work in [`mapbox-gl-native`](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native), which will eventually be the successor to this codebase. That framework solves lots of problems inherent to a Core Graphics-based framework like this one such as performance and flexibility.
1. Fork and submit a pull request **against the `develop` branch** so that we can review, discuss, and possibly integrate your code.
If you have a usage question, please email help-at-mapbox.com.

Mapbox iOS SDK
--------------
**This tree of the Mapbox iOS SDK is deprecated in favor of the [Mapbox GL](http://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native)-based version 2.0.0 and above. The future of Mapbox maps is vector rendering, and 2.0.0 is a rewrite based on OpenGL ES and vector rendering.**
Based on the Route-Me iOS map library (Alpstein fork) with [Mapbox](http://mapbox.com) customizations.
Requires iOS 5 or greater (includes iOS 7+ support at runtime), Xcode 5.0 or greater, and ARC.

Mapbox GL
---------
You should consider using [Mapbox GL](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-ios/), the vector-based future of our rendering technology that will replace the Mapbox iOS SDK. We are working to provide a clear upgrade path between existing toolsets and GL as it matures. Read more in the [Mapbox GL iOS FAQ](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/blob/master/ios/FAQ.md).

1. Use the [static library](http://mapbox-ios-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html). Link it in your project, add `#import <Mapbox/Mapbox.h>`, and additionally, include the `-ObjC` linker flag.
1. Install via [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org).

The two main branches of the GitHub repository are pretty self-explanatory: `release` and `develop`. When we tag a [release](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-ios-sdk/tags), we also merge `develop` over to `release`, except in the case of minor point releases (e.g., `0.4.2`), where we might just bring over a fix or two from `develop`.
