 - [core] Fix memory access violation exception in vector_tile_data.cpp [#632](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/pull/632)
 - [iOS] Fix a bug where the compass was determined to be misplaced when hidden [#498](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/pull/498).
 - [core] `MaptilerFileSource` renamed to `MBTilesFileSource` [#198](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/pull/198).
+- [android] Fix `OnMoveListener::onMoveBegin` was always called even on a simple tap. [#2792](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/issues/2792)
+  In case you rely on the old behavior, call `maplibreMap.getGesturesManager().getMoveGestureDetector().setMoveThreshold(0f)` to restore it
