Experimental: new (opt-in) renderer for Points layer. Check it out, it can render 1M points in couple of seconds. More details below.

Added

• The map has a new opt-in "Tiled rendering" beta in map settings: the points layer is drawn from vector tiles built by the database, so the browser only downloads what the current view needs. Dense areas arrive as aggregated markers carrying a point count — the heatmap weighs them accordingly — and long date ranges over large histories pan and zoom smoothly instead of stalling on one huge download. On a test account with 1 million points, opening the full three-year history classically pulls the whole range up front — 992 requests and roughly 590 MB of JSON, which crashed the browser tab a third of the way in; tiled rendering drew the same city view from 12 requests and 146 KB in a fraction of a second, and re-opening the map shortly after costs no requests at all. Individual points keep their popups, though a merged marker has no single point to open — zoom in to separate it. Dragging points to edit them is unavailable while tiled mode is on, and turning on Routes, Fog of War or Scratch map temporarily switches back to classic loading (the settings panel says which layer is blocking). Tiles are cached privately in the browser and refresh automatically when your location history changes, so the live trail can lag up to five minutes behind. (#2691)

Changed

• Removed three superseded points indexes (the old dedup index and two composites) now that the consolidated (user_id, timestamp, lonlat) index from 1.12.2 serves their queries. The migration cleans up any invalid leftover index first, rebuilds the consolidated index automatically when an interrupted build left it invalid, and refuses to run only when it is missing entirely. Frees several gigabytes on large instances and further reduces the write cost of every point.
• The nightly cache preheat now runs as one background job per user instead of a single job looping over every user. Its duration is bounded by the slowest individual user rather than by the sum of all of them, so one account with a large history no longer delays the preheat for everyone else. On Dawarich Cloud it now only preheats active and trial accounts; self-hosted instances continue to preheat every user.

Fixed

• Four scheduled jobs (app version check, cache preheat, family location request expiry, points counter correction) were queued onto default instead of the queues their job classes declare, so they competed with higher-priority work — the cache preheat in particular could hold up imports, track generation and stats for minutes at a time. They now run on app_version_checking, cache, families and low_priority respectively.
