• Output of decode utility is now in GeoJSON format
• Tile generation with a minzoom spends less time on unused lower zoom levels
• Bare geometries without a Feature wrapper are accepted

• Added check that minimum zoom level is less than maximum zoom level
• Added -v flag to check tippecanoe's version
