Description

Dear Leaflet Plugin Maintainer,

We’re excited to announce the release of the **Leaflet V2.0 alpha version**! 🎉
This marks a significant step toward modernizing Leaflet’s architecture and aligning it with the modern JavaScript ecosystem.

## ⚠️ Key Changes in Leaflet 2.0

To ensure your plugin remains compatible, please take note of the following important updates:

- **Factory methods have been replaced by constructors:**
`L.marker(latlng)` ➜ `new Marker(latlng)`

- **The global `L` object has been removed:**
Use **explicit imports** instead:
`import { Marker } from 'leaflet'`

- **Util methods have been replaced with native browser methods:**
`Util.isArray()` ➜ `Array.isArray()`

- **Pointer events support:**
Pointer events are now supported in place of mouse and touch events.

- Test your plugin with the **Leaflet 2.0 alpha** release.
- **Update your code** to reflect the changes.
- **Report any issues or feedback** on our GitHub repo: https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet
- Update the [`compatible-v2`](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/blob/647f52677bd608992aa9f8cad1db34fe1645d762/docs/_plugins/template.md?plain=1#L10) flag of your plugin to make it visible on the [Plugins](https://leafletjs.com/plugins.html) page.

Our **target for the stable release is November 2025**, and we’d love your help to ensure the Leaflet plugin ecosystem is fully prepared.

Thank you for your continued contributions to the Leaflet community!

Cheers,
**The Leaflet Team**
