+## Features ✨ and improvements 🏁
+* Add `ModelLayer.modelAllowDensityReduction` property to disable density reduction in model layers.
+* Add Standard Style color and 3D configuration options: `colorBuildings`, `colorCommercial`, `colorEducation`, `colorIndustrial`, `colorLand`, `colorMedical`, `show3dBuildings`, `show3dFacades`, `show3dLandmarks`, and `show3dTrees`.
