[0.17] Modding the map generation

I noticed the map generation internas have changed in 0.17. Setting noise layer for cliffs for example doesn't exist anymore or was renamed.

Is the new system described somewhere or does one have to figure out the changes from the API and base mod source?

A lot of things are documented here: https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/NoiseExpression

A lot? I see basically nothing there. It's all about the syntax of a noise expression. Not documentation of what noise expressions already exist and how they are used by the map generator.

The only helpful part is the tutorial link there that uses 'intended_property = "elevation",' showing how it affects water. Where is the list of useful intended_property values for example?
