We are finishing up the CLI for encoding tiles for public release: https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-tile-spec/pull/504 Likely a project like Planetiler will integrate this.

Still needs some work on the documentation side. There will be a separate announcement when it is done. We have a newsletter that we share on all the common social networks. https://maplibre.org/news/

Aside from getting the encoding side ready so tile providers can start to make MapLibre Tiles available, we are focussed on integrating the decoder in MapLibre GL JS (MapLibre for the web) and MapLibre Native (Android, iOS and other platforms). ETA is sometime near the end of 2025.

I work as a maintainer for MapLibre, let me know if you have any other questions about the project!
