I noticed in the 4.29 changelog that the geodesicDistanceThreshold property has been widely deprecated across many tools. While I can understand the potential rationale behind this decision—since the property could lead to significant confusion about how distances are measured—it also removes the ability to control how distances are calculated.
For example, I have been using this property to set the threshold to 0 or Infinity to explicitly force geodesic or Euclidean distance measurements.
The changelog does not explain the reasoning behind the deprecation or suggest any future alternatives. Could you clarify?
