Hi, Here is the first release in the 2.5 series. Changes since 2.4.10 that were not included in subsequent 2.4.x releases as well:
- Drop authorization for system (non-flatpak) apps. - Switch from autotools to meson build system. - Use WiFi-based geolocation for city level accuracy. - Provide Vala API. - Don't enable all warnings from C compiler by default. - No need to mark translatable strings in desktop files.

The goal of the Geoclue project is to make creating location-aware applications as simple as possible. Geoclue is Free Software, licensed under GNU GPLv2+. It is developed for Linux. The aim of project is to utilize all possible sources of geolocation to best find user's location: * WiFi-based geolocation (accuracy: in meters) * GPS(A) receivers (accuracy: in centimeters) * GPS of other devices on the local network, e.g smartphones (accuracy: in centimeters) * 3G modems (accuracy: in kilometers, unless modem has GPS) * GeoIP (accuracy: city-level) Geoclue used to also do (reverse-)geocoding but that functionality has been dropped in favor of geocode-glib library.
