+## 1.27.8
+
+* Add --accumulate-attribute to keep attributes of dropped, coalesced,
+  or clustered features
+* Make sure numeric command line arguments are actually numbers
+* Don't coalesce features whose non-string-pool attributes don't match
+
 ## 1.27.7
 
 * Add an option to produce only a single tile

  * `-T`_attribute_`:`_type_ or `--attribute-type=`_attribute_`:`_type_: Coerce the named feature _attribute_ to be of the specified _type_.
    The _type_ may be `string`, `float`, `int`, or `bool`.
    If the type is `bool`, then original attributes of `0` (or, if numeric, `0.0`, etc.), `false`, `null`, or the empty string become `false`, and otherwise become `true`.
    If the type is `float` or `int` and the original attribute was non-numeric, it becomes `0`.
    If the type is `int` and the original attribute was floating-point, it is rounded to the nearest integer.

  * `-j` *filter* or `--feature-filter`=*filter*: Check features against a per-layer filter (as defined in the [Mapbox GL Style Specification](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/#types-filter)) and only include those that match. Any features in layers that have no filter specified will be passed through. Filters for the layer `"*"` apply to all layers.
  * `-J` *filter-file* or `--feature-filter-file`=*filter-file*: Like `-j`, but read the filter from a file.
