 ## master
 
+### Other changes
+
 * Fixed a crash that occurred when the user started a gesture before the drift animation for a previous gesture was complete. ([#12148](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/12148))
 * Token string syntax (`"{token}"`) in `MGLSymbolStyleLayer` `text` and `iconImageName` properties is now correctly converted to the appropriate `NSExpression` equivalent. ([#11659](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/issues/11659))
+* Added an `MGLMapView.locationManager` property and `MGLLocationManager` protocol for tracking user location using a custom alternative to `CLLocationManager`. ([#12013](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/12013))
