+## 1.5.0-beta.1
+
+## ✨ Features
+* Add disabled icon to GeolocateControl if user denies geolocation permission. [#8871](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8871))
+* Add `outofmaxbounds` event to GeolocateControl, which is emitted when the user is outside of `map.maxBounds` ([#8756](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8756)) (h/t [MoradiDavijani](https://github.com/MoradiDavijani))
+* Add `mapboxgl.getRTLTextPluginStatus()` to query the current status of the `rtl-text-plugin` to make it easier to allow clearing the plugin when necessary. (ref. [#7869](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/7869)) ([#8864](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8864))
+* Allow `hash` Map option to be set as a string, which sets the map hash in the url to a custom query parameter. ([#8603](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8603)) (h/t [SebCorbin](https://github.com/SebCorbin))
+
+## 🍏 Improvements
+* Fade symbols faster when zooming out quickly, reducing overlap. ([#8628](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8628))
+* Reduce memory usage for vector tiles that contain long strings in feature properties. ( [#8863](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8863))
+
+## 🐞 Bug Fixes
+* Fix `text-variable-anchor` not trying multiple placements during collision with icons when `icon-text-fit` is enabled. ([#8803](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8803))
+* Fix `icon-text-fit` not properly respecting vertical labels. ([#8835](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8835))
+* Fix opacity interpolation for composition expressions. ([#8818](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8818))
+* Fix rotate and pitch events being fired at the same time. ([#8872](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8872))
+* Fix memory leaks that occured during tile loading and map removal.([#8813](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8813) and [#8850](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8850))
+* Fix web-worker transfer of `ArrayBuffers` in environments where `instanceof ArrayBuffer` fails.(e.g `cypress`) ([#8868](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/8868))
