 ### Bug fixes
  - Fixed the rendering bug caused by redundant pending requests for already requested images [#15864](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15864)
+ - Fixed Geo JSON source flickering on style transition [#15907](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15907)
 
 ### Performance improvements
  - Enable incremental vacuum for the offline database in order to make data removal requests faster and to avoid the excessive disk space usage (creating a backup file on VACUUM call) [#15837](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15837)
