Don't preflight zoom levels for potential as-needed dropping

2.14.0

• Don't preflight each zoom level if one of the as-needed options is specified. Instead, go ahead and write out the tiles, and then clear out the zoom level for another try if necessary.

Simplify geometry earlier when the in-memory representation of a tile gets large, to reduce peak memory usage

2.13.1

• Simplify geometry earlier when the in-memory representation of a tile gets large, to reduce peak memory usage

Improve quality of coalescing-as-needed; add options to limit feature count

2.13.0

• Add --limit-tile-feature-count and --limit-tile-feature-count-at-maximum-zoom
• Coalesce small features only onto other small features with --coalesce-smallest-as-needed, never onto large features
• Clean coalesced-as-needed features before simplifying them, to improve simplification quality

Add an option to drop more points in dense areas than in sparse areas

2.12.0

• Add --drop-denser option to drop points in dense clusters in preference
  to those in sparse areas.

Do label generation after simplification, not before

2.9.1

• Do label generation after simplification, not before.

Generate label points; order by feature size

2.9.0

• Add an option to generate label points in place of polygons
• Add --order-smallest-first and --order-largest-first options
• When tiny polygons are being aggregated into dust, keep the attributes of the largest.

2.6.2

• Stop adding features to a tile if it can't possibly work, to limit memory use
• Add --integer and --fraction options to tippecanoe-decode
• Carry strategies field from tileset metadata through tile-join
