Release v4.0.0-rc1

[4.0.0-rc1] - 2022-07-28

First release candidate for H3 v4 🎉 . As noted below, most function names have changed, but the H3 indexes have not, so while using v4 will require code changes it should be 100% backwards compatible with existing data. See the 4x migration guide for more information.

Added

• Added vertex mode functions (#138)

Breaking Changes

• Updated the core library to v4.0.0-rc4. (#141)
• Updated the core library to v4.0.0-rc2. This update renames the majority of the H3 functions. You can see a list of changed function names in the core library documentation. For the most part, upgrading to v4 for Javascript consumers should be a straightforward search & replace between the old names and the new. (#139)
• Added more cases in which JS errors may be thrown. In H3 v3, many functions would fail silently with invalid input, returning null or similar signal values. In H3 v4, we will throw descriptive errors for most instances of bad input. (#139)
