 - Better detect files with geotransform data that aren't geospatial ([#1718](../../pull/1718))
 - Better scale float-valued tiles ([#1725](../../pull/1725))
 - Tile iterators now report their length ([#1730](../../pull/1730))
+- When using griddata annotations as heatmaps, allow setting scaleWithZoom ([#1731](../../pull/1731))
