osmdroid tile loading in new versions is very slow

Question

Currently I'm using osmdroid version 3.0.7 and my question is why in the newer versions the map tile loading is very very slow while using earlier versions (3.0.1 and before) it is much faster? By the way, I'm using the mapnik tiles.

Answer 1

There are a few accepted bugs in 3.0.7, such as the tile cache not updating properly/fast when zooming, which have supposedly been fixed in the root source tree, but haven't yet made it into a new release jar.

i rolled back to 3.0.5 to fix my problem, until such time as these fixes make their way into a new release jar.
