 * Fixed an issue where translucent, non-view-backed point annotations along tile boundaries would be drawn darker than expected. ([#6832](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/6832))
 * Double-tap and two-finger tap gestures now zoom to the nearest integer zoom level. ([#8027](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/8027))
 * The `MGLAnnotationView.annotation` property is now read-write. ([#8139](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/8139))
+* Enabled the one-finger zoom gesture on iPad. To execute this gesture, tap twice; on second tap, hold your finger on the map and pan up to zoom in, or down to zoom out ([#8379](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/8379))
