- **added** — Validate the terrain passed to map.setTerrain
- **changed** — Improve runtime error warnings to point at the offending style location instead of just logging the bare error message
- **changed** — Interpolate the light position in spherical coordinates instead of cartesian ones so that a transition keeps its radial distance
- **fixed** — Log style validation warnings instead of treating them as errors so that a filter mixing legacy and expression syntax no longer aborts the style load and blanks the map
- **fixed** — Validate raster-dem sources passed to map.addSource and stop a source type the style spec has no schema for from failing the whole style

###### ✨ Features and improvements

- Validate the terrain passed to `map.setTerrain`, which was previously applied unchecked ([#7941](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/pull/7941)) (by [@HarelM](https://github.com/HarelM))
- Improve runtime error warnings to point at the offending style location (e.g. `layers[3].paint.line-color`, `layers[3].filter`) instead of just logging the bare error message ([#7869](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/pull/7869)) (by [@CommanderStorm](https://github.com/CommanderStorm))
- ⚠️ Interpolate the light position in spherical coordinates instead of cartesian ones, so that a transition keeps its radial distance. ([#7919](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/pull/7919)) (by [@HarelM](https://github.com/HarelM))

###### 🐞 Bug fixes

- Log style validation warnings instead of treating them as errors, so that a filter mixing legacy and expression syntax no longer aborts the style load and blanks the map ([#7941](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-style-spec/pull/7941)) (by [@HarelM](https://github.com/HarelM))
- Validate `raster-dem` sources passed to `map.addSource`, which were previously skipped. Stop a source type the style spec has no schema for, such as one registered with `addSourceType`, from failing the whole style. Previously only `canvas` was let through ([#7941](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/pull/7941)) (by [@HarelM](https://github.com/HarelM))
