The Maps API v3 team has completed the quarterly version change today, here are the new versions:

Weekly channel is now serving 3.55

Quarterly channel is serving 3.54

Exact version numbers can be specified as v=3.55, v=3.54, v=3.53, or v=3.52

Version 3.51 is decommissioned.

For most customers this will be a completely invisible change. However, since v3.54.1 we

upgraded Maps JavaScript API to support ECMAScript 2020 natively, meaning that less code is polifilled by taking advantage of browser built-in features (see more details here ).

Please also check what browsers are supported here . If your Map cannot be loaded due to this update, as a temporary workaround, you can switch your app to use v3.53 , directly while loading Maps JS API. But please keep in mind that 3.53 will be removed in May next year (see our release schedule here )

If you don't specify a version (or request a retired version), you will be served a default version, which depending on your key configuration will be either 3.54 or 3.55. But a developer specified version will always be honored and served when requested when it's an existing version.
